8.2.2 WEP Encryption

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

Note: 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.
