hexadecimal format.
Normally, select Auto for the authentication method. Otherwise, select Open System or Shared Key
according to the setting of the wireless router.
When the WEP Details screen appears after clicking Set on the Search screen, follow the on-screen
instructions and set the key length, the key format, the key number, and the authentication to enter a
WEP key.
