
Click on the Security link under the Wireless drop-down menu.

WEP is an acronym for Wired Equivalent Privacy, and is a security
protocol that provides the same level of security for wireless networks as
for a wired network.

WEP is less secure as compares to WPA encryption. To gain access to a
WEP network, you must know the key. The key is a string of characters
that you use for password. When using WEP, you must determine the
level of encryption.

The type of encryption determines the key length. 128-bit encryption
requires a longer key than 64-bit encryption. Keys are defined by
entering in a string in HEX (hexadecimal - using characters 0-9, A-F) or
ASCII (American Standard Code for Information Interchange -
alphanumeric characters) format. ASCII format is provided so you can
enter a string that is easier to remember. The ASCII string is converted
to HEX for use over the network. Four keys can be defined so that you
can change keys easily. A default key is automatically generated when
WEP is enabled.
