Command Usage
• Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) is implemented in this device to
prevent unauthorized access to your wireless network. For more
secure data transmissions, enable WEP with this command, and set
at least one static WEP key with the key command.
• The WEP settings must be the same on each client in your wireless
network.
• Note that WEP protects data transmitted between wireless nodes, but
does not protect any transmissions over your wired network or over
the Internet.
