128-bit WEP

128-bit WEP requires one key of 13 hexadecimal pairs. A hexadecimal digit con- sists of alphanumeric characters ranging from 0-9 or A-F. An example of a 128-bit WEP key is: 3D-44-FE-6C-A1-EF-2E-D3-C4-21-74-5D-B1. To create a 128-bit WEP key, enter 13 hexadecimal digit pairs in the Key text box. After activating 128- bit WEP on the Gateway, a computer with wireless capability can join the network only if this key is entered in the computer’s wireless encryption scheme.128-bit WEP offers greater security than 64-bit WEP under most circumstances

☞Note: Not all wireless PC Cards support 128-bit WEP. Ensure that all PC Cards installed in the networked computers support 128-bit WEP before activating.

After changing settings, click Next or Back to continue, or Save and Restart to make all changes permanent.

Important: Wireless networking devices use public radio chan- nels to transmit voice and data communications. Although WEP is the standard security technology used today and offers some degree of security, Qwest cannot guarantee the security, privacy, or confidentiality of any transmissions made via such devices, and Qwest makes no assurances or warranties relating to their use by you. You are responsible for all use of your Qwest DSL service, regardless of the source of a transmission, whether by you or an authorized third party, over your Qwest DSL service.
