WEP
– WEP stands for Wired Equivalent Privacy and is an encryption scheme
that provides secure wireless data communications. WEP uses a 40-, 128-, or
256-bit key to control network access. In order to decode transmissions, each
wireless client on the network must use exactly the same key.
Disabled
(default): Stations and APs communicate without any data
encryption.
40-bit WEP
: Stations and APs communicate using 40-bit WEP encryption.
128-bit WEP
: Stations and APs communicate using 128-bit WEP encryption.
256-bit WEP
: Stations and APs communicate using 256-bit WEP encryption.
Note that not all wireless devices support 256-bit encryption.
