WEP - Manual allows you to enter your own encryption keys manually. This is a difficult
process, but only needs to be done once. Avoid the temptation to enter all the same char-
acters.

Encryption Key Size #1 – #4: Selects the length of each encryption key. The longer the
key, the stronger the encr yption and the more difficult it is to break the encr yption.

Encryption Key #1 – #4: The encryption keys. You enter keys using hexadecimal digits.
For 40/64bit encr yption, you need ten digits; 26 digits for 128bit, and 58 digits for 256bit
WEP. Hexadecimal characters are 0 – 9, and a – f.

Examples:

40bit: 02468ACE02

128bit: 0123456789ABCDEF0123456789

256bit:

592CA140F0A238B0C61AE162F592CA140F0A238B0C61AE162F21A09C

Any WEP-enabled client must have an identical key of the same length as the Router, in
order to successfully receive and decr ypt the traffic. Similarly, the client also has a
‘default’ key that it uses to encr ypt its transmissions. In order for the Router to receive the
client’s data, it must likewise have the identical key of the same length.
