Command Usage
• Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) is implemented in this device to prevent unauthorized access to
your wireless network. For more secure data transmissions, enable encryption with this
command, and set at least one static WEP key with the key command.
• The WEP settings must be the same on each client in your wireless network.
• Note that WEP protects data transmitted between wireless nodes, but does not protect any
transmissions over your wired network or over the Internet.
• You must enable data encryption in order to enable all types of encryption (WEP, TKIP, and
AES-CCMP) in the AP.
