Figure 4-4:  Encryption Strength
The WGU624 lets you select the following wireless security modes with the WEP Cypher Type: 
Open System. With Open Network Authentication and 64-, 128-, or 152- bit WEP data 
encryption, the WGU624 performs data encryption, but does not perform any authentication. 
Shared Key. Encrypts the SSID and data. Choose the Encryption Strength (64-, 128-, or 
152-bit data encryption). Manually enter the key values or enter a word or group of printable 
characters in the Passphrase box. Manually entered keys are case sensitive but Passphrase 
characters are not case sensitive. 
Note: 
Not all wireless adapter configuration utilities support Passphrase key generation.
Be sure to set your wireless adapter according to the authentication scheme you choose for the 
WGU624 wireless router. Please refer to 
 for a full 
explanation of each of these options, as defined by the IEEE 802.11 wireless communication 
standard.
Cipher Type Choices
Choose the encryption strength from the drop-down list. Please refer to 
 for a full explanation of each of these options, as defined by the IEEE 
802.11 wireless communication standard.
Note: 
The security mode is separate from the data encryption cipher type. You 
can choose the Shared Key security mode, but still leave the data transmissions 
unencrypted. If you require strong security, use both the Shared Key and WEP 
encryption settings
