WEP
WEP Mode: WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) is an authentication algorithm that
encrypts your data and protects your Wireless LAN against eavesdropping.
WEP is disabled by default. If you want to protect your data when it is transferred
from one station to another, you should enable this security option. For security
concerns, we strongly recommend that you enable the WEP function.
To enable WEP, select
64 bits
or
128 bits
as the encryption algorithm. The higher
the number of bits, the greater the complexity and the security of the encryption.
