Encryption

Encryption – Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) is implemented in
the adapter to prevent unauthorized access. For more secure data
transmissions, set encryption to "128-bit" or "64-bit". The 128-bit
setting gives a higher level of security. The setting must be the
same for all clients in your wireless network (Default: Disabled).
The WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) implemented in SMC's EZ
Connect Wireless USB adapter is based on the RC4 encryption
algorithm. The security keys are four 10 digit keys for the 64-bit
WEP setting and one 26-digit key for the 128-bit WEP setting. WEP
security protects your wireless LAN against eavesdropping and
unauthorized access by hackers or intruders.
