6.4.2  WEP Encryption
WEP encryption scrambles the data transmitted between the wireless stations and the access points 
to keep network communications private. It encrypts unicast and multicast communications in a 
network. Both the wireless stations and the access points must use the same WEP key.
Your NBG-418N v2 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 > Wireless LAN to display the 
General screen. Select Static WEP from the Security Mode list.
