2-7-2 WEP

WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) is a common encryption mode, it’s safe enough for home

and personal use. But if you need higher level of security, please consider using WPA

encryption (see next Section).

However, some wireless clients don’t support WPA, but only support WEP, so WEP is still a

good choice for you if you have such kind of client in your network environment.

When you select ‘WEP’ as encryption type, the following messages will be displayed:

Here are descriptions of every setup item:

Key Length 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 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.

Default Tx Key You can set up to four sets of WEP key, and you

can decide which key is being used by default here.
