Here are descriptions of every setup items:

Key Length (2):

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 (3):

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 (4):

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’.

Encryption Key 1 (5): Input WEP key characters here, the number of characters must be

the same as the number displayed at ‘Key Format’ field. You can use

any alphanumerical characters (0-9, a-z, and A-Z) if you select

‘ASCII’ key format, and if you select ‘Hex’ as key format, you can use

characters 0-9, a-f, and A-F. You must enter at least one encryption

key here, and if you entered multiple WEP keys, they should not be

same with each other.
