WEP Encryption allows you to configure：
Wireless Encryption Type
There are two levels of encryption available, 64 bit
(sometimes referred to as 40 bit) and 128 bit
(sometimes referred to as 104 bit). 128 bit WEP is
more secure than 64 bit. Use the Wireless
Encryption Type box to select the desired level.
Key Generation Method
A Key is a hexadecimal (0-9, A-F) number used to
encrypt and decrypt the data. There can be up to 4
keys and each key can be as long as 26 digits. The
Router also offers a number of methods for
converting plain text into hex keys. The text is much
easier to remember than hex keys but it relies on
your wireless adapters also supporting this feature.
Different manufacturers have developed different
ways of converting plain text and so interoperability
is not guaranteed. If you are experiencing difficulty,
the Manual Hex Key method is supported by most
vendors.
