WEP

WEP is a basic encryption method, which is not as secure as WPA. To indicate which WEP key to use, select the appropriate Default Transmit Key number. Then, select the level of WEP encryption, 64 bits (10 hex digits) or 128 bits (26 hex digits). Higher encryption levels offer higher levels of security, but due to the complexity of the encryption, they may decrease network performance.

Wireless Security - WEP

Instead of manually entering WEP keys, you can enter a Passphrase to generate one or more WEP keys. The Passphrase is case-sensitive and should have no more than 32 alphanumeric characters. If you want to use a Passphrase, enter it in the Passphrase field and click Generate.

If you want to enter the WEP key(s) manually, then enter it in the Key 1-4field(s). (Do not leave a field blank, and do not enter all zeroes; they are not valid key values.) If you are using 64-bit WEP encryption, the key must be exactly 10 hexadecimal characters in length. If you are using 128-bit WEP encryption, the key must be exactly 26 hexadecimal characters in length. Valid hexadecimal characters are “0” to “9” and “A” to “F”.
