Detailed explanation-1: -Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) was the first-generation security standard for wireless. Attackers quickly discovered that 64-bit WEP encryption was easy to break. Monitoring programs could detect the encryption keys used to encode the messages. After the keys were obtained, messages could be easily decoded.

Detailed explanation-2: -WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) was approved as a Wi-Fi security standard in September 1999. Initially WEP was expected to offer the same security level for wireless networks as wired networks do, however there are a lot of well-known issues in WEP, which are easy to exploit.

Detailed explanation-3: -WEP is now considered out of date as a Wi-Fi encryption standard, and users should aim to use more recent protocols where possible. Other steps you can take to improve router security include: Changing the default name of your home Wi-Fi.

Detailed explanation-4: -WEP stands for Wired Equivalent Privacy, and WPA stands for Wireless Protected Access. WPA2 is the second version of the WPA standard. Using some encryption is always better than using none, but WEP is the least secure of these standards, and you should not use it if you can avoid it.
