Additional security can be achieved by using the WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) encryption. WEP encrypts each frame transmitted from the radio, using one of the keys entered from this panel.

There are four 10 Hex digit encryption keys value available for the WEP. You can define the encryption key values of their own choice.

Enable the WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) option in order to activate WEP encryption for transmissions between the stations and the Access Point. WEP is an authentication algorithm, which protects authorized Wireless LAN users against eavesdropping.
