The key can be either a hexadecimal or ASCII string. For WEP 64 (40-bit key), the keys are 10
hexadecimal characters in length or 5 ASCII characters. Select one of these keys for activation by
clicking its radio button.

Configuring WEP 128 / KeyGuard
WEP 128 provides a more robust encryption algorithm that WEP 64 by requiring a longer key length and pass
key. Thus, making it harder to hack through the replication of WEP keys. WEP 128 may be all that a small-
business user needs for the simple encryption of wireless data.
KeyGuard is a proprietary encryption method. KeyGuard is an enhancement to WEP encryption, and was
developed before the finalization of WPA-TKIP. This encryption implementation is based on the IEEE Wireless
Fidelity (Wi-Fi) standard, 802.11i.
To configure WEP 128 or KeyGuard:
1. Select
