9.3.2 WEP Encryption

WEP encryption scrambles the data transmitted between the wireless clients and the access
points to keep network communications private. It encrypts unicast and multicast
communications in a network. Both the wireless clients and the access points must use the
same WEP key.
Your ZyXEL Device allows you to configure up to four 64-bit, 128-bit or 256-bit WEP keys
but only one key can be enabled at any one time.
WEP is extremely insecure. Its encryption can be broken by an attacker, using
widely-available software. It is strongly recommended that you use a more
effective security mechanism. Use the strongest security mechanism that all
the wireless devices in your network support. For example, use WPA-PSK or
WPA2-PSK if all your wireless devices support it, or use WPA or WPA2 if your
wireless devices support it and you have a RADIUS server. If your wireless
devices support nothing stronger than WEP, use the highest encryption level
available.
In order to configure and enable WEP encryption; click Network > Wireless LAN to display
the General screen. Select Static WEP from the Security Mode list.
