2-7-3-2 WEP - Wired Equivalent Privacy
When you select this mode, the wireless router will use WEP encryption, and
the following setup menu will be shown on your web browser:
Here are descriptions of every setup items:
Key Length (2):
There are two types of WEP key length: 64-bit and
128-bit. Using ‘128-bit’ is safer than ’64-bit’, but will
reduce some data transfer performance.
Key Format (3):
There are two types of key format: ASCII and Hex.
When you select a key format, the number of
characters of key will be displayed. For example, if you
select ’64-bit’ as key length, and ‘Hex’ as key format,
you’ll see the message at the right of ‘Key Format’ is
‘Hex (10 characters), which means the length of WEP
key is 10 characters.
Default Tx Key (4): You can set up to four sets of WEP key, and you can
decide which key is being used by default here.
If you
don’t know which one you should use, select ‘Key
1’.
Encryption Key
Input WEP key characters here, the number of
1 (5):
characters must be the same as the number displayed
at ‘Key Format’ field. You can use any alphanumerical
characters (0-9, a-z, and A-Z) if you select ‘ASCII’ key
format, and if you select ‘Hex’ as key format, you can
use characters 0-9, a-f, and A-F. You must enter at least
one encryption key here, and if you entered multiple
WEP keys, they should not be same with each other.
