How Does this Affect Me?

Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) is a wireless network security standard that
provides the same level of security as the security in a wired network. WEP
encrypts data as it is sent from one endpoint to another. Whenever you use a
wireless technology, you should make sure that it is secure so that others
cannot access your network.
What Do I Need to Do?
Configure the Mac endpoint to use WEP encryption. Select Mac Help, or refer
