7.3.2  WEP Encryption

WEP encryption scrambles the data transmitted between the wireless stations and the access 
points to keep network communications private. It encrypts unicast and multicast 
communications in a network. Both the wireless stations and the access points must use the 
same WEP key. Your ZyXEL Device allows you to configure up to four WEP keys but only 
one key can be enabled at any one time.

"

It is recommended that wireless networks use WPA-PSK, WPA, or stronger 
security. WEP is better than no security, but it is still possible for unauthorized 
devices to figure out the original information pretty quickly.

In order to configure and enable WEP encryption; click
