encrypts data over radio waves to ensure the security. However, it
provides limit security protection though it is easy to be configured.
See Figure 4-38 for Shared key configuration.

Select SSID
Network Authentication: Shared
WEP Encryption: Enabled
Encryption Strength: 128-bit (recommended for higher
security) or 64-bit
2. Configure WEP keys. You can configure from 1 to four network
keys.
