By default the fastest possible transmission rate will be selected.
You have the option of selecting the speed if necessary.
802.11 Mode
If all of the wireless devices you want to connect with this Access
Point can connect in 802.11g mode, you can improve performance
slightly by changing the mode to 802.11g only. If you have some
devices that are 802.11b, leave the setting at Mixed.
Super G™ Mode
Super G without Turbo: Performance enhancing features such
as Packet Bursting, FastFrames, and Compression.
WEP
A method of encrypting data for wireless communication intended
to provide the same level of privacy as a wired network. WEP is not
as secure as WPA encryption. To gain access to a WEP network,
you must know the key. The key is a string of characters that you
create. When using WEP, you must determine the level of
encryption. The type of encryption determines the key length.
128-bit encryption requires a longer key than 64-bit encryption.
Keys are defined by entering in a string in HEX (hexadecimal -
using characters 0-9, A-F) or ASCII (American Standard Code for
Information Interchange - alphanumeric characters) format.
ASCII format is provided so you can enter a string that is easier to
remember. The ASCII string is converted to HEX for use over the
network. Four keys can be defined so that you can change keys
easily. A default key is selected for use on the network.
Example:
64-bit hexadecimal keys are exactly 10 characters in length.
(12345678FA is a valid string of 10 characters for 64-bit
encryption.)
128-bit hexadecimal keys are exactly 26 characters in length.
(456FBCDF123400122225271730 is a valid string of 26 characters
for 128-bit encryption.)
64-bit ASCII keys are up to 5 characters in length (DMODE is a
valid string of 5 characters for 64-bit encryption.)
128-bit ASCII keys are up to 13 characters in length
(2002HALOSWIN1 is a valid string of 13 characters for 128-bit
encryption.)
