802.11g Protection
：
Protection is the protocol feature the gives 802.11g compatibility
with older 802.11b equipment. It does slow down 802.11g stations, but not by forcing
them to use slower 802.11b data rates. When an access point activates protection, it
"wraps" faster 802.11g transmissions with a slower, backwards-compatible frame.
The slowdown comes from the backwards-compatibility wrapper, not a reduction in
the data rate of the frame.
4.5.3 Security
This device provides complete wireless security function include WEP, 802.1x, WPA,
WPA2 and WPA2-Mixed in different mode (see the Security Support Table).
The default security setting of the encryption function is disabled. Choose your
preferred security setting depending on what security function you need.
WEP Encryption Setting
：
Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) is implemented in this device
to prevent unauthorized access to your wireless network. The WEP setting must be as
same as each client in your wireless network. For more secure data transmission, you can
change encryption type to “WEP” and click the “Set WEP Key” button to open the
“Wireless WEP Key setup” page.
