WEP is designed to provide the same level of security as that of a wired LAN. Select the key to be used as the default key. Data transmissions are always encrypted using the default key. The other keys can only be used to decrypt received data.

WPA has the following improvements over the WEP.
- Page 33 WPA Mode • WPA addresses all known vulnerabilities in WEP, the original, less secure 40 or 104-bit encryption scheme in the IEEE 802.11 standard. WPA also provides user authentication, since WEP lacks any means of authentication. Designed to secure present and future versions of IEEE 802.11 devices, WPA is a subset of the IEEE 802.11i specification.
- Page 34 with minimal degradation in network performance. WPA offers standards-based, Wi-Fi CERTIFIED security. It assures users that the Wi-Fi CERTIFIED devices they buy will be cross-vendor compatible. When properly installed, WPA provides a high level of assurance to enterprises, small businesses and home users that data will remain protected and that only authorized users may access their networks.
