wireless stations must use the same WEP key for data transmission.

If you chose 64-bit WEP, then enter any 5 ASCII characters or 10 
hexadecimal characters ("0-9", "A-F").

If you chose 128-bit WEP, then enter 13 ASCII characters or 26 
hexadecimal characters ("0-9", "A-F"). 

You must configure at least one key, only one key can be activated at 
any one time. The default key is key 1.
