WEP Encryption: Select Enable Encryption to use WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) on the network. All devices on the network, and the Access Point, must share the same WEP selection – either Enable or Disable, and they must share the same WEP key. The WEP key is generated from ASCII or Hexadecimal entries that are either 64, 128, or 256 bits in length. When enabling encryption, select the Key Type (ASCII or Hexadecimal) and then input the appropriate digits or letters. You can create up to 4 keys. Select the key you wish to use.

Hexadecimal digits consist of the numbers 0-9 and the letters A-F

ASCII (American Standard Code for Information Interchange) is a code for representing English letters as numbers from 0-127

Transmission Rate: Select the transmission rate for the network. The default setting is 1-2-5.5-11-22 (Mbps)
