2-5-3 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 page will be displayed:
Key Length
Key Format
Default Tx Key
Encryption Key

Authentication
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.
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 side of
'Key Format' is 'Hex (10 characters), which means the length of
WEP key is 10 characters.
You can set up to four sets of WEP key, and you can decide
which key is being used by default here. If you don't know
which one you should use, select 'Key 1'.
Input WEP key characters here, the number of characters must
be the same as the number displayed at 'Key Format' field. You
can use any alphanumerical characters (0-9, a-z, and A-Z) if
you select 'ASCII' key format, and if you select 'Hex' as key
format, you can use characters 0-9, a-f, and A-F. You must
enter at least one encryption key here.
