This is about security of the wireless LAN. The wireless LAN provides similar security
to that of the wired LAN using the WEP. To use the WEP, the user must set the key
value. According to the key value, data is encoded in 64 bits or 128 bits for
communication. If the user did not set the WEP, security-related problems may occur.

Authentication Protocols
To avoid illegal access to wireless LAN, there are various authentication protocols.
But ezTCP doesn’t support any authentication protocol. If a wireless LAN network uses
any authentication protocol, you should not install ezTCP to that network.
