Using the Configuration Utility

Security - WEP

WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) is based on the IEEE 802.11 standard and uses the

RC4 encryption algorithm. Enabling WEP allows you to increase security by encrypting

data being transferred over your wireless network.

To enable WEP, click the radio button next to Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) and

click the Configure button.

Note: Your network will slow down and wireless signal may degrade when enabling

WEP encryption due to the added overhead.

Select the WEP key format (Hexadecimal or ASCII)

Hexadecimal - only A-F and 0-9 are valid characters.

ASCII - All numbers and letters are valid characters.
