Configuring the WEP Security

To improve the security and privacy of your wireless data packets, the WEP
and WPA encryption feature can be employed, where WEP stands for
Wireless Equivalent Privacy. The WEP facility that uses a set of four default
keys encrypts each frame transmitted from the radio using only one of the
given keys. Default keys are shared between the Vigor wireless router and
WEP station in a service set. Once a station has obtained the default keys for
its service set, it may communicate using WEP. WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access)
uses the Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP) for encryption. It greatly
enhances the over-the-air data protection and access control on existing
Wi-Fi networks. It addresses the weaknesses of WEP. By clicking the
Security Settings, a new web page will appear so that you could configure
the settings of WEP and WPA.
1. Mode: Select an appropriate encryption to improve the security and privacy
of your wireless data packets.
