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 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.
