WLAN Profile WEP Settings
WEP security is available in both Infrastructure and AdHoc modes. WEP is a simple and efficient
security mode encrypting the data via the RC4 algorithm. However, WEP has become more
vulnerable due to advances in hacking technology. State of the art equipment can find WEP keys
in five minutes. For stronger security, please use WPA, or better, WPA2 with AES (CCMP).

WLAN Profile WEP Settings Description
Authentication Select one of the following options:
Shared = encryption keys of both parties are compared as a
form of authentication. If mismatched, no connection is
established.
Open = a connection is established without first checking for
matching encryption keys. However, mismatched keys will
result in garbled data and thus a lack of connectivity on the IP
level.
Key Size Select the key size in bits. Select 40 for WEP40 and WEP64;
select 104 for WEP104 and WEP128.
TX Key Index Select one of four index listing keys for transmitting data.
Reception is allowed with all four keys.
Note: For operability with some products that generate four
identical keys from a passphrase, this index must be one.
Keys 1-4 Enter one or more encryption keys in hexadecimal format. Enter
10 hexadecimal digits (0-9, a-f) for WEP40 and 26 for WEP104.
The configured keys are not shown for security reasons.
