9.4 WEP
WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) is a standard for encrypting data before it is transmitted.
This is desirable because it is impossible to prevent snoopers from receiving any data which is transmitted by your Wireless Stations. But if the data is encrypted, then it is meaningless unless the receiver can decrypt it.
If WEP is used, the Wireless Stations and the Access Point must have the same settings for each of the following:
WEP | Off, 64 Bit, 128 Bit |
|
|
Key | For 64 Bit encryption, the Key value must |
| match. |
| For 128 Bit encryption, the Key value must |
| match |
|
|
WEP | Open System or Shared Key. |
