6.16.2 WEP

WEP provides a mechanism for encrypting data using encryption keys. Both the AP and the
wireless stations must use the same WEP key to encrypt and decrypt data. Your G-560 allows
you to configure up to four 64-bit, 128-bit or 256-bit WEP keys, but only one key can be used
at any one time.
