Passphrase
Select "WEP-64bits" or "WEP-128bits" in the Encryption field, and the Access
Point generates four WEP keys automatically. A combination of up to 64 letters,
numbers, or symbols is required. Alternatively, leave this field blank and type in
four WEP keys manually.
WEP-4bit key: 10 hexadecimal digits (0~9, a~f, and A~F)
WEP-128bit key: 26 hexadecimal digits (0~9, a~f, and A~F)
The ASUS WLAN family of products uses the same algorithm to generate WEP
keys. It eliminates the need for users to remember passwords and maintains
compatibility between products. But, this method to generate WEP keys is not
as secure as manual assignment.
WEP Key
You can set a maximum of four WEP keys. A WEP key is either 10 or 26
hexadecimal digits (0~9, a~f, and A~F) based on whether you select 64-bits
or 128-bits in the WEP pull-down menu. The ASUS 802.11g AP and ALL of its
wireless clients MUST have at least the same default key.
Key Index
The Default Key field lets you specify which of the four encryption keys to use to
transmit data on your wireless LAN. As long as the ASUS 802.11g AP or wireless
mobile client with which you are communicating has the same key in the same
position, you can use any of the keys as the default key.
If the ASUS 802.11g AP and ALL of its wireless clients use the same four WEP
keys, select "key rotation" to maximize security. Otherwise, choose one key in
common as the default key.
Network Rotation Key Interval
This field specifies the time interval (in seconds) after which a WPA group key is
changed. Enter '0' (zero) to indicate that a periodic key-change is not required.
