This will open the WEP Key Setting screen, Figure 5-4. From this screen, you can select the type of WEP encryption to use.
From the pull-down menu at the top of the screen, select 64-bit, 128-bit, or 152- bit encryption. Then, select the key you wish you use for encrypting your data, Key 1-4. In the field beside the key you’ve chosen, type the key in Hexadecimal characters, which, on your keyboard, are the letters “A” through “F” and the numbers “0” through “9”. Each type of encryption requires a key of a certain length:
64-bit encryption requires a 10 character key.
128-bit encryption requires a 26 character key.
152-bit encryption requires a 32 character key.
