7.6.2 WEP Encryption

WEP encryption scrambles the data transmitted between the wireless stations and the access

points to keep network communications private. It encrypts unicast and multicast communications

in a network. Both the wireless stations and the access points must use the same WEP key.

In order to configure and enable WEP encryption, click Wireless > Security to display the

Security screen. Select WEP from the Encryption list.

occurs.

communication.
