WEP Encryption

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.
Your NBG-417N 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.
