WEP is a part of 802.11. WEP is not secure because its wickness in the encryption mechanism. Which is used by many wireless network scanners. It takes about 5 minutes to hack WEP. It's highly recommended to use WPA or WPA2-PSK AES over WEP.

What does a WEP or WPA key mean for the Xbox 360?
wep and wpa both are encryption standards to make a more secure wifi network, so your xbox needs to have the same wep/wpa code that your router is set to. if you have to choose between wep or wpa, choose wpa if possible because it is virtualy uncrackable and it will save your bacon
What replaced WEP?
WEP has been replaced by WPA.
What is the preferred wireless encryption technique if the wireless clients support it?
At least WPA encryption is recommended because WEP keys can be easily cracked in minutes leavinf your wireless connection Susceptible to attacks.
When I change my WPA key to WEP it doesn't save Help?
WPA and WEP are not compatible with each other. They are completely different kinds of encryption.
I have a DSi and connect to WPA-2 and Pokemon diamond asks for a WEP can I still connect on Pokemon Diamond with WPA-2?
no i had to change mine back to a wep
What two encryption methods are used in wireless networks?
The three main methods of encryption for 802.11 wireless networks are the following: # WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) # WPA (WiFi Protected Access) # WPA2 (WiFi Protected Acess)
How do you get Nintendo wifi-connection if you have wpa?
The Nintendo DS can only use WEP encryption. The DSi and 3DS can connect to WPA for internet and other internal functions, but only 3DS games and special 'DSi-enhanced' ones can be played over WPA, they are unable to play regular DS games over it. The only real solution is to change your router to WEP.
What is a WEP and a WPA key mean?
The internet password for your wifi
What security key to put internet on the dsi?
WPA or WEP
Use of the wireless wep key?
WEP allows you to encrypt your wireless connection protection it from people you can use your private information against you. WEP cannot be trusted because of weakness in its encryption algorithm. It's better to use WPA, or if you can WPA-PSK2 AES.
Why can my dsi go on wifi but my games can't?
Are you using WPA security? While the DSi's browser can use WPA encryption, games cannot, they can only be played over WEP or unencrypted connections.
What encryption method is used by WPA for wireless networks?
Transport Layer Security (TLS) and its predecessor, Secure Sockets Layer (SSL), both of which are frequently referred to as 'SSL', are cryptographic protocols that provide communications security over a computer network. TLS supports many different methods for exchanging keys, encrypting data. If you want a free ssl certificate for your website visit here: ssl.comodo.com/free-ssl-certificate.php
