7.6.2 WEP Encryption
WEP encryption scrambles the data transmitted between the wireless stations and the access
points to keep network communications private. It encrypts unicast and multicast communications
in a network. Both the wireless stations and the access points must use the same WEP key.
In order to configure and enable WEP encryption, click Wireless > Security to display the
Security screen. Select WEP from the Encryption list.
