3.2 With WEP security
If you are really worried about network security (I can't imagine the average home user being all that bothered) you can
configure the VI router to use 64 or 128 bit WEP security. This security relies upon both the router and your clients using an
encryption key word on all transmitted and received data.
3.2.1 Setup the Router
To configure WEP security on the router first of all go to the IEEE/Advanced page:
Now select 'Shared Key' as the Authentication Type. Remember submit and then save to store the changes.
Now you need to setup a WEP encryption key.
Click on WEP:
If you've done this correctly then your wireless clients should now
be able to see the router. You can test this by running a browser on
your client and entering the IP address of the router: The router
sign on screen should display.
You should also be able to 'see' your wireless clients from any
LAN based clients connected via the LAN ports on the VI router
(and vice-a-versa).
