13.6.2 WLAN Add/Edit: WEP Security
WEP provides a mechanism for encrypting data using encryption keys. Both the
ZyWALL and the wireless stations must use the same WEP key to encrypt and
decrypt data. Your ZyWALL allows you to configure up to four 64-bit or 128-bit
WEP keys, but only one key can be used at any one time.
Note: WEP is extremely insecure. Its encryption can be broken by an attacker, using
widely-available software. It is strongly recommended that you use a more
effective security mechanism. Use the strongest security mechanism that all the
wireless devices in your network support. For example, use WPA-PSK or
WPA2-PSK or WPA or WPA2 if your wireless devices support it. If your wireless
devices support nothing stronger than WEP, use the highest encryption level
available.
To configure and enable WEP encryption, click Configuration > Network >
Interface > WLAN > Add (or Edit) to open the WLAN Edit screen. Select WEP
as the Security Type. The following screen shows the WEP security fields.
