2.7.3.1 WEP - Wired Equivalent Privacy
When you select this mode, the wireless router will use WEP encryption,
and the following setup menu will be shown on your web browser:
Here are descriptions of every setup item:
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 performance.
Key Format (3):
There are two types of key format: ASCII and Hex.
When you select a key format, the number 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 characters.
