Security
The WAP features some methods of keeping your wireless network secure.
Using these methods can greatly increase your security and peace of mind.
Method 1: Encryption
For secure data transmissions, the Belkin WAP is capable of encrypting, or
"scrambling", the information that is sent over the air between your
computers. The WAP uses a form of encryption called WEP (Wired
Equivalent Privacy). There are two levels of WEP encryption—64-bit and
128-bit. As the numbers imply, 128-bit encryption is more secure than 64-
bit encryption. However, using 128-bit encryption can slow down the rate
at which data is sent between the wireless-equipped computers and the
WAP. WEP encryption uses keys to scramble and unscramble the data that
is being sent between wireless-equipped computers and the WAP. The
