Using '128-bit' is safer than '64-bit', but will reduce some data transfer performance. There are two types of key format: ASCII and Hex. When you select a key format, the number of characters of key will be displayed. For example, if you select '64-bit' as key length, and 'Hex' as key format, you'll see the message at the right of 'Key Format' is 'Hex (10 characters), which means the length of WEP key is 10 characters. You can set up to four sets of WEP key, and you can decide which key is being used by default here. If you don't know which one you should use, select 'Key 1'. Input WEP key characters here, the number of characters must be the same as the number displayed at 'Key Format' field. You can use any alphanumerical characters (0-9, a-z, and A-Z) if you select 'ASCII' key format, and if you select 'Hex' as key format, you can use characters 0-9, a-f, and A-F. Check this box to enable 802.1x authentication function. You need a Radius authentication server to perform 802.1x authentication. 73
