Basic Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP)
encryption method will be used in this small wireless network application to stop the interception of radio frequency signals by unauthorized users. WEP is based on the RC4 encryption algorithm by RSA Data Systems. All clients and Access Points must
be configured with the same key for encryption and decryption to work properly.
Service Set Identifier (SSID)
functions as a simple password by allowing a wireless network to be
split up into different networks each having a unique identifier. The SSID must be set in the Access
Point. Each client computer and extender must be configured with the corresponding SSID for that
network
