WEP Encryption

If you are transmitting sensitive data across
wireless channels, you should enable Wired
Equivalent Privacy (WEP) encryption.

Encryption requires you to use the same set of encryption/
decryption keys for a wireless access point and all of its wireless
clients. The SMC2671W supports shared key encryption with key
lengths of the 64-bit standard and 128-bit industry standard. The
bit key must be in hexadecimal.
(0~9, A~F, e.g., D7 0A 9C 7F E5.)
