Using WEP

Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) is a security algorithm for 802.11 wireless networks

designed to provide data confidentiality comparable to that of a wired network. WEP

uses a pre-shared key for encrypting data frames that is shared among all users of the

wireless network. For this reason and others, WEP has been discredited as a security

mechanism and should be avoided in favor of WPA if at all possible.

CAUTION: WEP encryption has been proven to be easily circumvented. Therefore,

Ruckus Wireless recommends using WPA whenever possible, and only use WEP if your

client devices do not support WPA.

CAUTION: Using WEP encryption limits the performance of the AP to 802.11g rates.

If you select WEP encryption for a WLAN, wireless devices that are capable of faster

802.11n transfer rates will be limited to 802.11g rates.
