3-5-3-2 Encryption: WEP

Enable WEP encryption.

The description of every setting item will be described below:

Item

Description

Key Length

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

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

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’.
