Chapter 9 Wireless LAN 135

If you do not enable any wireless security on your ZyXEL Device, your network is

accessible to any wireless networking device that is within range.

9.4.1 WEP Encryption

WEP encryption scrambles the data transmitted between the wireless clients and the access

points to keep network communications private. It encrypts unicast and multicast

communications in a network. Both the wireless clients and the access points must use the

same WEP key.

Your ZyXEL Device allows you to configure up to four 64-bit, 128-bit or 256-bit WEP keys

but only one key can be enabled at any one time.

In order to configure and enable WEP encryption; click Network > Wireless LAN to display

the General screen. Select Static WEP from the Security Mode list.
