Securing Your Wireless Network with WEP
WEP is a security protocol for wireless networks. WEP provides security by
encrypting data over radio waves so that it is protected as it is transmitted from one
end point to another. A shared key (similar to a password) is used to allow
communication between the computers and the residential gateway. WEP offers a
basic, but satisfactory level of security for wireless data transmission.
To secure your wireless network with Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP), complete
the following steps.

54g Protection allows 802.11g and 802.11b devices to co-exist in the same
network without "speaking" at the same time. In Auto Mode, the
wireless device will use RTS/CTS to improve 802.11g performance in
mixed 802.11g/802.11b networks. Turn protection off to maximize
802.11g throughput under most conditions.
You can enable Wi-Fi Multimedia (WMM) support to help improve the
Quality of Service (QoS) for your wireless traffic. It is recommended that
you leave these settings unchanged if you are not sure about your
configuration. Changing these values may lead to unexpected blockages
of traffic on your wireless LAN, and the blockages might be difficult to
diagnose.
