Availability

The WEP Configuration page is available in all operation modes.

WEP basics

Wired Equivalent Protocol (WEP) relies on a secret key that is shared between the 
wireless client and the Access Point. The fixed secret key is used to encrypt data before 
they are transmitted. I.e. during transmission between client and access point (“in the 
air”) the information in the packets is encrypted.

Access Point and

Repeater mode

Click WEP Configuration to configure your WEP parameters:

Select the level of WEP encryption you wish to use.

Higher encryption levels offer higher levels of security, but due to the 
complexity of the encryption, they may decrease network perform-
ance.

Enter the WEP key of your choice. In case of:

•

64-bit, Alphanumeric
The WEP key must consist of 5 alphanumeric characters.

•

64-bit, Hexadecimal
The WEP key must consist of 10 hexadecimal digits

•

128-bit, Alphanumeric
The WEP key must consist of 13 alphanumeric characters.

•

128-bit, Hexadecimal
The WEP key must consist of 26 hexadecimal digits

Note Hexadecimal values range from 0 to 9 and from A to F.
Alphanumeric values range from 0 to 9 and from A to Z.

Click Apply to apply the WEP encryption settings.

Reconfigure your wireless client(s) to use the changed settings.

All devices in your network must use the same WEP key.
