164 (40) Bits or 128 (104) bits

There are two levels of encryption 64 bits and 128 bits. The 64 bits encryption is referenced as a lower level encryption. The 128 bits encryption is referenced as a higher level encryption.

The 64 bits WEP encryption use 40 bits as a secret key, which can controlled by user, and 24 bits as the initialize vector, which user can not control. These two portions plus together is 64 bits encryption. Some other vendor’s product might refer as 40 bits encryption. It is the same thing.

The 128 bits WEP encryption use 104 bits as a secret key, which can controlled by user, and 24 bits as the initialize vector, which user can not control. These two portions plus together is 128 bits encryption. Some other vendor’s product might refer as 104 bits encryption. It is the same thing.

1WEP Key Mode

Automatic Generation	Check this selection can allow user to generate the WEP
	key based on the string user key in. This filed can key in
	up to 10 character.
Hex & ASCII	The WEP key is generated from ASCII or Hexadecimal
	entries that are either 64 or 128 in length. Please select
	the Key mode and then input the appropriate digits or
