Here are descriptions of every setup item:

Key Length

There are two types of WEP key length: 64-bit and 128-bit. Using

 

‘128-bit’ is safer than ’64-bit’, but will reduce some data transfer

 

performance.

 

 

Key Format

There are two types of key format: ASCII and Hex. When you select

 

a key format, the number of characters of key will be displayed. For

 

example, if you select ’64-bit’ as key length, and ‘Hex’ as key format,

 

you’ll see the message at the right of ‘Key Format’ is ‘Hex (10

 

characters), which means the length of WEP key is 10 characters.

 

 

Default Tx Key

You can set up to four sets of WEP key, and you can decide which

 

key is being used by default here. If you don’t know which one you

 

should use, select ‘Key 1’.

 

 

Encryption Key 1 to 4

Input WEP key characters here, the number of characters must be

 

the same as the number displayed at ‘Key Format’ field. You can use

 

any alphanumerical characters (0-9, a-z, and A-Z) if you select

 

‘ASCII’ key format, and if you select ‘Hex’ as key format, you can use

 

characters 0-9, a-f, and A-F. You must enter at least one encryption

 

key here, and if you entered multiple WEP keys, they should not be

 

same with each other.
