Operation and Status
Data Key Size
Select the WEP Encryption level:
•
64-bit encryption - this is sometimes called 40-bit encryption,
because the user key is 40 bits. The other 24 bits are system-
generated.
•
128-bit - this is sometimes called 104-bit encryption, because the
user key is 104 bits. The other 24 bits are system-generated. The
larger key size provides greater security, but may affect perform-
ance on slower systems.
