4. Click on the Encryption tab. Under the drop-box, you can choose to have
WEP encryption Disabled, 64- or 128- Bit. Wired Equivalent Privacy
(WEP) is an encryption scheme used to protect wireless data communica-
tion. The Disabled setting prevents the sharing of data with other comput-
ers on the WEP network. When selecting Manual Entry for the WEP Key
Entry, enter the hexadecimal number set by other wireless WEP settings;
these settings have to be identical to the WEP encryption in order to net-
work to your Wireless USB Network Adapter.
In order to find out the WEP encryption set by other wireless products in
your network, such as the WAP11, you may run the USB utility or SNMP
configuration program to check the encryption tab for the correct key
entries. If you are using other access points, please check their respective
user guides for more information on WEP encryption configuration.
