Description
Enable WEP Security
Check this box to enable the WEP encryption between
wireless routers and access points that join the bridging
job.
Key Length
Select either the 64-bit or the 128-bit key to encrypt
transmitted data. A larger key length will provide a higher
level of security, but the throughput will be lower. You
also can select disable to transmit data without
encryption.
Key Format
Select ASCII characters (alphanumeric format) or
hexadecimal digits (in the A–F, a–f, and 0–9 range) to be
the WEP Key.
