This means that the same key is used for all of the information or 'packets' you send over the air waves during a session. WEP uses a password to create a static encryption key that it then uses to encrypt data sent over the web. WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) was introduced in 1999 and at first, it was thought to be as secure as a wired network.
This guide describes these different types of encryption so that you can decide which is the best choice for your network. The three most common choices for encrypting your data are WEP, WPA, and WPA2. The best way to secure your wireless network is to change the type of encryption that your computer uses to send data.
