WEP
Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) is a data encryption
protocol for 802.11 wireless networks. All wireless stations
and SSIDs on the network are configured with a static 64-bit
or 128-bit Shared Key for data encryption. The higher the bit
for data encryption, the more secure for your network.
WEP encryption is an older encryption method that is not
considered to be secure and can easily be broken. Select
this option only if you need to allow access to devices that
do not support WPA or WPA2.
