Chapter 3: Installation and Configuration

3.7.2 WEP

WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) is a common encryption mode that’s safe enough for home and personal use. If you need a high-

er level of security, consider using WPA encryption.

However, some wireless clients don’t support WPA, but only support WEP, so WEP is still a good choice for you if you have this

type of client in your network environment.

When you select WEP as an encryption type, the following screen will be displayed:

Option Description

Key Length There are two types of WEP key length: 64-bit and 128-bit. Using 128-bit is safer than 64-bit,

but will reduce some data transfer performance.

Key Format There are two types of key format: ASCII and Hex. When you select a key format, the number

of key characters will be displayed. For example, if you select 64-bit as key length, and Hex as

key format, you’ll see the message at the right of Key Format is Hex (10 characters), which

means the length of WEP key is 10 characters.

Default Tx Key You can set up to four WEP keys, and you can decide which key is being used by default here.

If you don’t know which one you should use, select Key 1.

Encryption Key 1 to 4 Input WEP key characters here. The number of characters must be the same as the number dis-

played in the Key Format field. Use any alphanumerical characters (0-9, a-z, and A-Z) if you

select ASCII key format, and use characters 0-9, a-f, and A-F if you select Hex as key format.

Enter at least one encryption key here. If you entered multiple WEP keys, they should not be

the same as each other.
