Key Type Encryption Key
Passphrase input is not the same as ASCII input. The passphrase input is
safer because it has up to 63 characters. ASCII input has a maximum of 5
(WEP64) or 13 (WEP128) characters and limits the number of key
combinations.
TX Key index selects the WEP key used for transmissions. Enter a value
between 1 and 4. The default setting is 1. In case the WEP key is entered in hex,
all keys (1-4) are the same. In case the WEP key is entered as a passphrase, the
four WEP keys are generated according to the Linksys algorithms and will be
different.
