Description
Key Length
Users can select the WEP key length for encryption, 64-bit or
128-bit. Larger WEP key length will provide higher level of
security, but the throughput will be lower.
Default: 64-bit
Key Format
There are two types of key format: ASCII and Hex. When
users select a key format, the number of characters of key
will be displayed. For example, if users select ’64-bit’ as key
length, and ‘Hex’ as key format, the message at the right of
‘Key Format’ is ‘Hex (10 characters), which means the length
of WEP key is 10 characters.
Default Key
Select one of the four keys to encrypt the data. Only the key
selected in the "Default key" will take effect.
Key 1 - Key 4
