Encryption [WEP security]
The field allows you to select Disabling, 64-bit and 128-bit. When setting 64bit, or
128 bits, it means WEP security is used.
WEP Key
For 64-bit encryption:
•
Alphanumeric: 5 characters (case sensitive) ranging from “a-z”, ”A-Z” and “0-9”.
(e.g. My*#Key)
•
Hexadecimal: 10 hexadecimal digits in the range of “a-f”, "A-F" and "0-9". (e.g.
11AA22BB33).
For 128-bit encryption:
•
Alphanumeric: 13 characters (case sensitive) ranging from “a-z”, ”A-Z” and “0-
9”. (e.g.MyKey12345678).
•
Hexadecimal: 26 hexadecimal digits in the range of “a-f”, "A-F" and "0-9".
(e.g.00112233445566778899AABBCC)
TIP: WEP is a protocol defined in 802.11i to provide
encryption capabilities for wireless LAN communications.
Because data travels through air, there is a likelihood of
unintended receivers listening in on your data conversation.
WEP encryption keys can be 64-bit (minimal security) or
128-bit (more secure). Additionally a WEP key is needed to
