WEP Encryption

If you are transmitting sensitive data across wireless channels, you should enable Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) encryption.

Encryption requires you to use the same set of encryption/ decryption keys for a wireless access point and all of its wireless clients. The SMC2671W supports shared key encryption with key lengths of the 64-bit standard and 128-bit industry standard. The bit key must be in hexadecimal.

(0~9, A~F, e.g., D7 0A 9C 7F E5.)
