WEP Authentication and Encryption Restricting wireless access to your network prevents intruders from connecting to your network. However, the wireless data transmissions are still vulnerable to snooping. Using the WEP data encryption settings described below will prevent a determined intruder from eavesdropping on your wireless data communications. Also, if you are using the Internet for such activities as purchases or banking, those Internet sites use another level of highly secure encryption called SSL. You can tell if a Web site is using SSL because the Web address begins with HTTPS rather than HTTP. Wireless Configuration 4-9 M-10153-01
