Wireless>Security>WEP

WEP (Wired Equivalent privacy) is a security protocol for Wireless Local Area Net-

works (WLAN). WEP provides security by encrypting the data that is sent over the 

WLAN.

The NB5Plus4W supports 3 levels of WEP encryption:

•   64 Bit encryption

•   128Bit encryption
•   256 Bit encryption
With WEP, the receiving station must use the same key for decryption. Each radio 

NIC and access point, therefore, must be manually configured with the same key. 

The screen below illustrates the default setting of the WEP Wireless Security screen.

WEP is enabled by default.
1.  Check Enable WEP Wireless Security.
2.  Select Authentication Type
