Here

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.
