The Encryption Tab

Click the Encryption tab to define the encryption settings for a specific profile. It offers you various options concerning the so-called WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) to maintain the secure management in a wireless LAN environment. See the explanations below for more details, and before making any activation of the new settings, click Apply. To leave the window, click OK. To undo the new settings, select the Cancel button.

Note: Choosing the WEP Encryption command from the right-click menu of Wireless-G Configuration Tool tray icon will launch this tab too.

Encryption (WEP security):

If you choose Disabled from the pull-down list, you will have the Wireless-G USB Adapter communicated with all stations within the same networking community without any data encryption. Otherwise, two key lengths are offered: 64 bit and 128 bit. Specify a preferred one from the two, so that you may use the identical WEP key to make a communication with the chosen access point.
