WEP Security Mode: Select WEP from the drop-down menu ONLY IF your wireless devices do not support the more secure WPA standard. WEP Encryption: The WEP standard offers two levels of encryption: 64-bit and 128-bit. Each level has the option of a key (password) consisting of either HEX digits or ASCII characters: 64Bit (10 hex digits) - Uses a key consisting of 10 hex digits (0-9, A-F). 64Bit (5 ASCII characters) - Uses a key consisting of 5 ASCII characters (0-9, A-Z, plus symbols). 128Bit (26 hex digits) - Uses a key consisting of 26 hex digits (0-9, A-F). 128bit (13 ASCII characters) - Uses a key consisting of 13 ASCII characters (0-9, A-Z, plus symbols).
