Security Enable (Privacy Configuration)

Security is applied to wireless networks to ensure integrity and limit unauthorized access
within the network. To open this, select Security Enable and then click Config. A dialog
box called Privacy Configuration opens displaying the Security and Certification tabs.
If you do not enable any wireless security on your IEEE 802.11g Wireless LAN USB
Adapter, the wireless communications are accessible to any wireless networking device
that is in the coverage area.
Data Encryption with WEP
WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) encryption scrambles all data packets transmitted
between the wireless LAN adapter and the AP or other wireless station to keep network
communications private.
Both the wireless stations and the access points must use the same WEP key for data
encryption and decryption.
