Encryption [WEP security]

The field allows you to select Disabling, 64-bit and 128-bit. When setting 64bit, or

128 bits, it means WEP security is used.

WEP Key

For 64-bit encryption:

• Alphanumeric: 5 characters (case sensitive) ranging from “a-z”, ”A-Z” and “0-9”.

(e.g. My*#Key)

• Hexadecimal: 10 hexadecimal digits in the range of “a-f”, "A-F" and "0-9". (e.g.

11AA22BB33).

For 128-bit encryption:

• Alphanumeric: 13 characters (case sensitive) ranging from “a-z”, ”A-Z” and “0-

9”. (e.g.MyKey12345678).

• Hexadecimal: 26 hexadecimal digits in the range of “a-f”, "A-F" and "0-9".

(e.g.00112233445566778899AABBCC)

TIP: WEP is a protocol defined in 802.11i to provide

encryption capabilities for wireless LAN communications.

Because data travels through air, there is a likelihood of

unintended receivers listening in on your data conversation.

WEP encryption keys can be 64-bit (minimal security) or

128-bit (more secure). Additionally a WEP key is needed to
