Does WEP encryption on a wireless router affect/restrict wireless signal or performance distance at all?
WEP Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) is a security standard for wireless devices. WEP encrypts data to provide data security. The protocol has always been under scrutiny for not being a secure as initially intended. WEP is vulnerable due to weaknesses in the encryption algorithms. These weaknesses allow the algorithm to potentially be cracked in less than five hours using available PC software.
