the following types of security:

WEP stands for Wired Equivalent Privacy. It is based on the IEEE 802.11 standard and uses the RC4 encryption algorithm. WEP

provides security by encrypting data over your wireless network so that it is protected as it is transmitted from one wireless

device to another.

you must determine the level of encryption. The type of encryption determines the key length. 128-bit encryption requires a

ASCII (American Standard Code for Information Interchange – alphanumeric characters) format. ASCII format is provided so

you can enter a string that is easier to remember. The ASCII string is converted to HEX for use over the network. Four keys can

be defined so that you can change keys easily.
