The following table shows the 11a and 11g security mode and cipher type options:
Instructions on how to configure the security settings are provided in the following sections.
WEP Authentication and Encryption
Restricting wireless access to your network prevents intruders from connecting to your network.
However, the wireless data transmissions are still vulnerable to snooping. Using the WEP data
encryption settings described below will prevent a determined intruder from eavesdropping on
your wireless data communications. Also, if you are using the Internet for such activities as
purchases or banking, those Internet sites use another level of highly secure encryption called SSL.
You can tell if a Web site is using SSL because the Web address begins with HTTPS rather than
HTTP.
