4. Click on the "Encryption" tab. Under the drop-box, you can choose to have WEP
encryption Disabled, 64-Bit, or 128-Bit. Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) is an
encryption scheme used to protect wireless data communication. The Disabled
setting prevents the sharing of data with other computers on the WEP network. For
data sharing to be enabled, select the level of encryption desired, either 64 or
128-bit.
After selecting the level of encryption, you can enter up to 4 sets of WEP Keys
(Key 1~4). WEP uses Hex decimal key, you can enter any combination of numbers
from 0 to 9 and alphabets from A to F as the encryption key. A 64-bit key has 10
characters (i.e. 01234abcde) and the 128-bit key has 26 characters (i.e.
01234567890123456789abcdef). After entering the keys, at Default TX Key ,
select the key number that you would like to use and click on Apply Changes.
When the WEP is enabled, the wireless card can only connect to wireless devices
with same level of encryption and same set of WEP key.
