Changing or disabling encryption settings
In a Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN), you can use
encryption to implement security and protect your
information. The default encryption setting is 40/64-bit
hexadecimal. Network encryption does not provide
absolute protection for your data, but it does make it
more difficult for someone else to intercept that data. It is
recommended that you utilize the encryption feature of
this product.
