9.5 Wireless Security
The screen varies depending on what you select in the Security Mode field.
9.5.1 No Security
Select No Security to allow wireless clients to communicate with the access point without any data
encryption.
Note: If you do not enable any wireless security on your WRE6505 v2, your network is
accessible to any wireless networking device that is within range.

The following table describes the labels in this screen.
9.5.2 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.
Your WRE6505 v2 allows you to configure up to four 64-bit or 128-bit WEP keys but only one key
can be enabled at any one time.
Select Static WEP from the Security Mode list.
