WEP - Manual allows you to enter your own encryption keys manually. This is a difficult
process, but only needs to be done once. Avoid the temptation to enter all the same char-
acters.
Encryption Key Size #1 – #4: Selects the length of each encryption key. The longer the
key, the stronger the encryption and the more difficult it is to break the encryption.
Encryption Key #1 – #4: The encryption keys. You enter keys using hexadecimal digits.
For 40/64bit encryption, you need ten digits; 26 digits for 128bit, and 58 digits for 256bit
WEP. Hexadecimal characters are 0 – 9, and a – f.
Examples:
• 40bit: 02468ACE02
• 128bit: 0123456789ABCDEF0123456789
256bit: 592CA140F0A238B0C61AE162F592CA140F0A238B0C61AE162F21A09C

client's data, it must likewise have the identical key of the same length.
