The EZ Connect Wireless Ethernet Adapter provides a “Passphrase” feature in both the Windows and Web-based Utilities. This feature allows you to take an easy-to-remember term, such as your name, and generate 4 unique WEP keys. This is a convenient feature to use when you are continually changing your WEP keys to provide top-level wireless security.
