4.6.4.1 WEP
WEP is a security protocol for WLAN. WEP provides security by encrypting the data that is sent
over the WLAN.
The router supports three levels of WEP encryption:
• 64-bit encryption
• 128-bit encryption
• 256-bit encryption
With WEP, the receiving station must use the same key for decryption. Each radio network
interface card (NIC) and AP, therefore must be manually configured with the same key.
In order to implement security, proceed with the following steps. See Figure 1-59.
1. Select the WEP option.
2. Check on “Enable WEP Wireless Security” option.
3. Select the “Cipher”option, the available options are 64 bits, 128 bits and 256 bits.
4. You can configure up to 4 sets of keys for your wireless client.
