connection.
Configure Security
The SOHO 6 Wireless uses the industry standard security protocol,
Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP), specified by the IEEE standard
802.11b. WEP is designed to provide a wireless local area network
(WLAN) with a level of security and privacy comparable to that
usually expected of a wired local area network (LAN). A wired
LAN is generally protected by physical security, such as login
credentials, that are only effective for a controlled physical
environment, because the radio transmissions of a WLAN are not
bound by the walls containing the network. WEP achieves security
by encrypting the data transmitted over the WLAN. Data
encryption protects the vulnerable wireless connection between
computers and access points; once this measure has been taken,
other typical LAN security mechanisms such as password
protection, virtual private networks (VPNs), and authentication
can be used to ensure privacy.
