A method of encrypting data for wireless communication intended to provide the same level of privacy as a wired network. WEP is not as secure as WPA encryption. To gain access to a WEP network, you must know the key. WEP Key Length. The key is a string of characters that you create. When us- ing WEP, you must determine the level of encryption. The type of encryption determines the key length. 128-bit encryption requires a longer key than 64- bit encryption. Keys are defined by entering in a string in HEX (hexadecimal - using characters 0-9, A-F) or ASCII (American Standard Code for Information Interchange - alphanumeric characters) format. ASCII format is provided so you can enter a string that is easier to remember. The ASCII string is con- verted to HEX for use over the network. WEP Key 1, 2, 3 and 4.

When a new firmware update file is loaded into the router, the following checks are made to insure that the new file is correct. 1. B efore the new firmware update is loaded into the NVRAM code area, it is first downloaded into a RAM area for checking. 2. T he downloaded file is first checked against a checksum to insure that the entire file has been downloaded and no data errors have occurred. 3. E ach firmware file is encoded with a special product identification, which must match the current code in the router. If the two identifiers match, the update is allowed to proceed. If either of these checks fail, the firmware update file is rejected and a failure message given to the user. 4. A fter the new firmware file passes both of these checks, the code is written to the NVRAM code area. Power to the unit must be maintained dur- ing this critical step; do not turn off unit. As the router writes the new code to NVRAM, the user is presented with a screen on the browser which counts down for 60 seconds.
