WEP Key

You can set a maximum of four WEP keys. A WEP key is either 10 or 26 hexadecimal digits (0~9, a~f, and A~F) based on whether you select 64bits or 128bits in the WEP pull-down menu. The ASUS Wireless Router and ALL of its wireless clients MUST have at least the same default key.

Key Index

The Default Key field lets you specify which of the four encryption keys you use to transmit data on your wireless LAN. As long as the ASUS Wireless Router or wireless mobile client with which you are communicating has the same key in the same position, you can use any of the keys as the default key. If the ASUS Wireless Router and ALL of its wireless clients use the same four WEP keys, select “key rotation” to maximize security. Otherwise, choose one key in common as the default key.

Network Rotation Key Interval

This field specifies the time interval (in seconds) after which a WPA group key is changed. Enter ‘0’ (zero) to indicate that a periodic key-change is not required.
