WLAN security settings

Select Menu > Tools > Settings > Connection > Access points > Options > New access point, or select an access point and Options > Edit.

In the access point settings, select WLAN security mode and the desired mode.

WEP security settings

Select WEP as the WLAN security mode.

The wired equivalent privacy (WEP) encryption method encrypts data before it is transmitted. Access to the network is denied to users who do not have the required WEP keys. When the WEP security mode is in use, and your device receives a data packet not encrypted with the WEP keys, the data is discarded. In an ad-hoc network, all devices must use the same WEP key.

Select WLAN security settings and from the following:

WEP key in use — Select the desired WEP key.

Authentication type — Select Open or Shared.

WEP key settings — Edit the settings for the WEP key.
