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 ZyXEL Device 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 Settings > 
Wireless to display the General screen, then select Basic as the security level.
