Enabling Wireless Security Features
You can strengthen the security of your wireless connection by enabling Wired Equivalent Privacy
(WEP) encryption of the wireless data communications. For more information on 802.11 wireless
security, see “Authentication and WEP” on page B-2.
In addition to the WG311T wireless security features, you should also configure appropriate LAN
network security features such as requiring a user name and password to access the shared
resources in your network.
The procedures below identify how to configure the WEP encryption settings of your NETGEAR
108 Mbps Wireless PCI Adapter WG311T.
