WEP Authentication: To prevent unauthorized wireless stations from accessing data transmitted
over the network, the router offers secure data encryption, known as WEP. If you require high
security for transmissions, there are three options to select from: Open System, Share key or
Both.
Default Used WEP Key: Select the encryption key ID; please refer to Key (1~4) below.
Passphrase: This is used to generate WEP keys automatically based upon the input string and a
pre-defined algorithm in WEP64 or WEP128. You can input the same string in both the AP and
Client card settings to generate the same WEP keys. Please note that you do not have to enter Key
(1-4) as below when the Passphrase is enabled.
