Data Encryption with WEP

WEP encryption scrambles the data transmitted between the wireless stations and the access points to keep
network communications private. It encrypts unicast and multicast communications in a network. Both the
wireless stations and the access points must use the same WEP key for data encryption and decryption.
Your Prestige allows you to configure up to four 64-bit or 128-bit WEP keys but only one key can be enabled
at any one time.
In order to configure and enable WEP encryption; click Wireless LAN and Wireless to the display the
