For more security setting, click on the Configure encryption icon, and the Encryption page will 

show as below

WEP

 - For more secure data transmission, set the “WEP” to “WEP_128” or “WEP_64” to 

ensure wireless network security. The advanced Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) is 

implemented in this device to prevent unauthorized access. The 128 bits setting gives a 

higher level of security but the setting must be the same as other clients in your wireless 

network. (Default: Disabled) 

10.  

Key Entry

 –This field can be set to “Passphrase” or “Manual Entry”. 

Select the “Passphrase” means the KEY ID value will be auto generated by the internal 

algorithm according the string defined in Passphrase field. 

Select the “Manual Entry” means the KEY ID values allow/need user key in by manually. 

(2 characters of hex in each block) 

11.  

Pass Phrase

 - The security key for WEP encryption is generated from your pass phrase 

so it should be the same as all the other stations in your network
