Configuring static WEP security on a client
Static
Wired Equivalent Privacy
(WEP) encrypts data moving across a wireless network based
on a static (non-changing) key. The encryption algorithm is a “stream” cipher called RC4.
The access point uses a key to transmit data to the client stations. Each client must use
that same key to decrypt data it receives from the access point. Different clients can use
different keys to transmit data to the access point. (Or they can all use the same key, but
this is less secure because it means one station can decrypt the data being sent by another.)
If you configured the Gateway 7001 AP to use Static WEP security mode, as shown in the
following illustration, you need to configure WEP security on each client.
