2.5.1 WEP
When you select either a 64-bit or 128-bit WEP key, you need to enter
WEP keys to encrypt data. You can generate the key by yourself and
enter it; you can also enter four WEP keys and select one of them as
the default key. Then the router can receive any packets encrypted by
one of the four keys.
Key Length: Select the WEP key length for encryption: 64-bit or 128-
bit. A larger WEP key length will provide a higher level of security,
but the throughput will be lower.
Key Format: Select ASCII characters (alphanumeric format) or hexa-
decimal digits (in the “A-F,” “a-f” and “0-9” range) to be the WEP key.
For example, ASCII characters: “guest”; hexadecimal digits:
“12345abcde.”
Default Tx Key: Select one of the four keys as the default key to
encrypt your data.
Encryption Key 1–4: The WEP keys are used to encrypt data
transmitted in the wireless network. Fill in the elds using the
following guidelines.
• 64-bit WEP: Input 10-digit hex values (in the “A-F,” “a-f” and “0-9”
range) or 5-digit ASCII characters as the encryption keys.
