You can provide a level of data security by enabling WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) for encryption of net- work data. You can enable 40-, 128-, or 256-bit WEP Encryption (depending on the capability of your cli- ent wireless card) for IP traffic on your LAN.

Enter a Passphrase. The number of characters to use is shown in the pull-down menu. Click the Save Changes button. This will generate an encryption key automatically.

Any WEP-enabled client must have an identical key of the same length as the Router, in order to suc- cessfully receive and decrypt the traffic. Similarly, the client also has a ‘default’ key that it uses to encrypt its transmissions. In order for the Router to receive the client’s data, it must likewise have the identical key of the same length.
