An acronym for Wired Equivalent Privacy, WEP is an encryption method
used to protect your wireless data communications. WEP uses 64-bit or
128-bit keys to provide access control to your network and encryption secu-
rity for every data transmission. To decode a data transmission, each device
in a network must use an identical WEP key. Higher encryption levels offer
higher levels of security, but due to the complexity of the encryption, they
may decrease network performance.

of these networks.
For each wireless network detected, the following information is displayed:
• SSID - The network name. To join a wireless network, click its SSID.

Note: Make sure your WEP key matches the WEP key of the wire-
less network you want to join. Otherwise, the connection will fail.
