Configuration
WEP encryption is an older encryption method that is not
considered to be secure and can easily be broken.
Choose this option only if you need to allow access to
devices that do not support WPA or WPA2, and enter the
following information:
• Authentication Type: Choose either Open System
or Shared key. The default is Open System.
• Key Length: Choose either 64 bits or 128 bits. The
default is 64 bits. The larger size keys provide
stronger encryption, which makes the key more
difficult to crack.
• Passphrase: If you want to generate WEP keys by
using a Passphrase, enter any alphanumeric phrase
(between 4 to 63 characters) and then click
Generate to generate 4 unique WEP keys. Select
one key to use as the key that devices must have to
use the wireless network.
• Key Index: Choose a key index as the default
transmit key. Key indexes 1 through 4 are available.
• Key 1-4: If a WEP Passphrase is not specified, a key
can be entered directly into one of the Key boxes.
The length of the key should be 5 ASCII characters
(or 10 hex characters) for 64-bit encryption and 13
ASCII characters (or 26 hex characters) for 128-bit
encryption.
