Turn off WEP on your Galaxy S25 to increase security

One of the new features introduced in the brand new Samsung flagship, the Galaxy S25, allows you to determine whether your phone is allowed to connect to Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) Wi-Fi networks. Unfortunately, it’s turned on by default, despite the option that says that WEP is “an older security protocol that’s less secure.”

Over the years, people and security experts have constantly discouraged using WEP as a security protocol for Wi-Fi access points as it can be hijacked very easily due to weaknesses related to RC4 that were disclosed back in 2001. This document explained how such cipher, along with the initialization vector (IV), were exploited that resulted in a passive attack that could recover the RC4 key.

In general, WEP is insecure. Luckily, on your Galaxy S25, you can configure your smartphone to forbid connections to WEP-protected access points using this new configuration switch in the below menu:

Follow the steps to disallow connections to WEP networks:

1. Open the Settings app
2. Navigate to Connections > Wi-Fi > three dotted menu button > Advanced settings
3. Toggle the Allow WEP networks entry off

Upon turning it off, your phone will no longer be able to connect to such networks. You’ll then be only able to connect to WPA-protected networks, especially those protected with WPA3. We recommend doing this after either obtaining the Galaxy S25 or updating your eligible device to One UI 7.

The best solution to those relying on those networks is to either switch to WPA3 protection if you’re managing them yourself, or contact your network administrator for more info. You can consult your router manual for more info about changing the network protection method.
