• Wired equivalent privacy (WEP) is an encryption code that is identical for every computer and laptop. • It will protect your home network and keeps a check on hacker intrusion. • Installation technician should enable your WEP during the initial set-up of Comcast Gateway. • A strength of 128-bit (high security) WEP protection is recommended by Comcast. • However, there is a provision to change the level of WEP protection through Customer Interface. • You can change the level or completely disable it depending upon the signal strength and link quality. • But the basic level is 64-bit WEP. • It is recommended for enhanced security, but not necessary for Gateway operation.
