requested from all devices wishing to connect to a wireless network.
WEP Encryption

64-bits
or
128-bits
.
This dictates the length of the security key that the network is going to use.
Encryption Type

use the same WEP key for data transmission.
If you chose
HEX
, enter 10 or 26 hexadecimal characters in the range of "A-F", "a-f" and
"0-9" (for example, 11AA22BB33) for a 64-bit or 128-bit WEP key respectively.
If you chose
ASCII
, enter any 5 or 13 ASCII characters (case sensitive) ranging from "a-
z", "A-Z" and "0-9" (for example, MyKey) for a 64-bit or 128-bit WEP key respectively.
Select a default WEP key to use for data encryption. You must configure at least one key,
only one key can be activated at any one time. The default key is key 1.
