Passphrase. To generate WEP keys using a Passphrase, then enter the Passphrase and click the Generate key.

Key 1-4. If you want to manually enter WEP keys, then complete the fields provided. Each WEP key can consist of the letters “A” through “F” and the numbers “0” through “9”. It should be 10 characters in length for 64-bit encryption or 26 characters in length for 128-bit encryption.
