WEP Settings Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) encryption is used in the 802.11 standard is to protect wireless communication from eavesdropping. WEP provides a way of creating an encrypted key that is shared between a wireless client (such as a notebook with a wireless PC card) and the router. This key encrypts data before it is transmitted. WEP can be implemented with a 40(64)-bit or 104(128)-bit key. For added security, change your key often. When you change the key on one wireless device, it must be changed for all wireless devices in the network. · Key Format This can be ASCII or hexadecimal format. Hexadecimal format includes the numbers 0 through 9 and the letters A through F. ASCII format includes all alphanumeric characters. · Key Length This can be either 40(64)-bit or 104(128)-bit key length. Some wireless network cards are only able to use 40(64)-bit encryption. If all your clients are able to communicate at 104(128)-bit, then choose 104(128)-bit. If any client is only able to communicate at 40(64)-bit, then choose 40(64)-bit. · Key1, Key2, Key3, and Key4 You can type up to four different keys in the Key fields provided to store on the Dell Wireless 2350 Broadband Router. If you choose 40(64)-bit encryption, enter a 5-character (or 10 hexadecimal digits) WEP key. For 104(128)-bit encryption, enter a 13-character (or 26 hexadecimal digits) WEP key. · Default Key Select only one key out of the four provided in the Default Key field. Wireless Settings WPA
