WEP encryption
WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) is an encryption for radio signals in wireless networks
and meets the IEEE 802.11 standard.
If you transmit data wirelessly and not all components in your wireless network support
the higher security standard WPA (page 55), we recommend that you activate
WEP
Encryption
.
WEP encryption and WPS registration cannot be used together in a wireless network.
You can choose either the standard 64-bit key or the more robust 128-bit key. The keys
are generated in hexadecimal or in ASCII format. You must use the same keys for encryp-
tion and decryption for the Giga762SX WLAN dsl and all your wireless network adapters.
