Note: If you do not enable any wireless security on your VMG, your network is accessible 

to any wireless networking device that is within range.

Wireless > General: No Security

The following table describes the labels in this screen.

WEP encryption scrambles the data transmitted between the wireless stations and the access points 
(AP) to keep network communications private. Both the wireless stations and the access points 
must use the same WEP key.

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.

Your VMG allows you to configure up to four 64-bit or 128-bit WEP keys but only one key can be 
enabled at any one time.

In order to configure and enable WEP encryption, click Network Setting > Wireless to display the 
General screen, then select Basic as the security level.
