If you select ‘WEP’ as encryption type:

Item Name

Description

Key Length

There are two types of WEP key length: 64-bit and

128-bit. Using ‘128-bit’ is safer than ’64-bit’, but

will reduce some data transfer performance.

Key Format

There are two types of key format: ASCII and Hex.

When you select a key format, the number of

characters of key will be displayed. For example, if

you select ’64-bit’ as key length, and ‘Hex’ as key

format, you’ll see the message at the right of ‘Key

Format’ is ‘Hex (10 characters), which means the

length of WEP key is 10 characters.

Default Tx Key

You can set up to four sets of WEP key, and you

can decide which key is being used by default

here. If you don’t know which one you should

use, select ‘Key 1’.

Encryption Key 1 to 4

Input WEP key characters here, the number of

characters must be the same as the number

displayed at ‘Key Format’ field. You can use any

alphanumerical characters (0-9, a-z, and A-Z) if

you select ‘ASCII’ key format, and if you select

‘Hex’ as key format, you can use characters 0-9,

a-f, and A-F. You must enter at least one

encryption key here, and if you entered multiple

WEP keys, they should not be same with each

other.
