What is the need to change WEP Encryption Level when setting up Comcast Internet Service?

Wired Equivalent Privacy will allow you to protect your wireless Internet connection.

  • 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.
