Enabling Wireless Security Features

You can strengthen the security of your wireless connection by enabling Wired Equivalent Privacy

(WEP) encryption of the wireless data communications. For more information on 802.11 wireless

security, see “Authentication and WEP” on page B-2.

In addition to the MA701 wireless security features, you should also configure appropriate LAN

network security features such as requiring a user name and password to access the shared

resources in your network.

The procedures below identify how to configure the WEP encryption settings of your NETGEAR

802.11b Wireless Compact Flash Card MA701.
