7.2.2 WEP Encryption

Use this screen to configure and enable WEP encryption. Click Network > Wireless LAN to display the AP screen. Select WEP Auto from the Security Mode list.

"WEP is extremely insecure. Its encryption can be broken by an attacker, using widely-available software. It is strongly recommended that you use a more effective security mechanism. Use the strongest security mechanism that all the wireless devices in your network support. For example, use WPA-PSK or WPA2-PSK if all your wireless devices support it, or use WPA or WPA2 if your wireless devices support it and you have a RADIUS server. If your wireless devices support nothing stronger than WEP, use the highest encryption level available.
