WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy)
Select
the
WEP radio button if your wireless network uses WEP encryption. WEP is
an acronym for Wired Equivalent Privacy, and is a security protocol that provides the
same level of security for wireless networks as for a wired network.
same level of security for wireless networks as for a wired network.
WEP is not as secure as WPA encryption. To gain access to a WEP network, you
must know the key. The key is a string of characters that you create. When using
WEP, you must determine the level of encryption. The type of encryption determines
the key length. 128-bit encryption requires a longer key than 64-bit encryption. Keys
are defined by entering in a string in HEX (hexadecimal - using characters 0-9, A-F)
or ASCII (American Standard Code for Information Interchange - alphanumeric
characters) format. ASCII format is provided so you can enter a string that is easier
to remember. The ASCII string is converted to HEX for use over the network. Four
keys can be defined so that you can change keys easily. A default key is selected for
use on the network.
