WEP
Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) is a data encryption protocol
for 802. 1 1 wireless networks. All wireless stations and SSIDs
on the network are configured with a static 64-bit or 128-bit
Shared Key for data encryption. The higher the bit for data
encryption, the more secure for your network.
WEP encryption is an older encryption method that is not
considered to be secure and can easily be broken. Choose
this option only if you need to allow access to devices that do
not support WPA or WPA2.
If you choose this option, enter the following information:
•
Authentication Type: Choose either Open System or
Shared key. The default is Open System.
•
Encryption: Choose the encryption type: 64 bits (10
hex digits), 64 bits (5 ASCII), 128 bits (26 hex digits), or
128 bits (13 ASCII). The default is 64 bits (10 hex digits).
The larger size keys provide stronger encryption, thus
making the key more difficult to crack.
•
Passphrase: If you want to generate WEP keys by
using a Passphrase, enter any alphanumeric phrase
(between 4 to 63 characters) and then click Generate
to generate 4 unique WEP keys. Select one key to use
as the key that devices must have to use the wireless
network.
•
Default Transmit Key: Choose a key index as the
default transmit key. Key indexes 1 through 4 are
available.
•
Key 1-4: If a WEP Passphrase is not specified, a key
can be entered directly into one of the Key boxes. The
length of the key should be 5 ASCII characters (or 10
hex characters) for 64-bit encryption and 13 ASCII
characters (or 26 hex characters) for 128-bit
encryption.
