Securing your Wi-Fi
®
Network
Here are a few different ways you can maximise the security of
your wireless network and protect your data from prying eyes and
ears. This section is intended for the home, home office, and small
office user. At the time of this manual’s publication, there are three
encryption methods available.

WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy)
WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) is a common protocol that adds
security to all Wi-Fi-compliant wireless products. WEP was designed
to give wireless networks the equivalent level of privacy protection as
a comparable wired network.
64-Bit WEP
64-bit WEP was first introduced with 64-bit encryption, which
includes a key length of 40 bits plus 24 additional bits of
system-generated data (64 bits total). Some hardware
manufacturers refer to 64-bit as 40-bit encryption. Shortly after
the technology was introduced, researchers found that 64-bit
encryption was too easy
to decode.
