WEP Encryption - If your network uses 64-bit encryption, then select 64 bits, and press the Select button. If your network uses 128-bit encryption, then select 128 bits, and press the Select button. If your network's WEP encryption is disabled, then select Disabled, and press the Select button.

It must match the passphrase of your wireless network and is compatible with Linksys wireless products only. WEP Key - If you want to manually enter a WEP key, enter it in this field, and then click the on-screen Enter key. For 64-bit WEP, the key includes exactly 10 hexadecimal characters.
