Understanding WEP Authentication and Encryption
Restricting wireless access to your network prevents intruders from connecting to your network. 
However, the wireless data transmissions are still vulnerable to snooping. Using the WEB data 
encryption settings described below will prevent a determined intruder from eavesdropping on 
your wireless data communications. Also, if you are using the Internet for such activities as 
purchases or banking, those Internet sites use another level of highly secure encryption called SSL. 
You can tell if a web site is using SSL because the web address begins with HTTPS rather than 
HTTP.
Authentication Scheme Selection 
Figure 3-3:  Encryption Strength
The WGR614 lets you select the following wireless authentication schemes. 
Automatic. 
Open System.
Shared key. 
Be sure to set your wireless adapter according to the authentication scheme you choose for the 
WGR614 router. Please refer to 
 for a full explanation of 
each of these options, as defined by the IEEE 802.11 wireless communication standard.
Encryption Strength Choices
Choose the encryption strength from the drop-down list. Please refer to 
 for a full explanation of each of these options, as defined by the IEEE 
802.11 wireless communication standard.
Note: 
The authentication scheme is separate from the data encryption. You can 
choose an authentication scheme which requires a shared key but still leave the 
data transmissions unencrypted. If you require strong security, use both the 
Shared Key and WEP encryption settings
.
