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 perform-
ance.
Key Format (3):
There are two types of key format: ASCII and
Hex. When you select a key format, the num-
ber 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 char-
acters.
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.
