supports. Suppose the wireless network has two wireless clients. Device A only supports WEP, and device
B supports WEP and WPA2-PSK. Therefore, you should set up WEP in the wireless network.
Note: It is recommended that wireless networks use WPA2-PSK, or stronger encryption. IEEE
802.1x and WEP encryption are better than none at all, but it is still possible for
unauthorized devices to figure out the original information pretty quickly.
Many types of encryption use a key to protect the information in the wireless network. The longer the
key, the stronger the encryption. Every wireless client in the wireless network must have the same key.
