key is used for authentication. The default setting is Open System.
Data encryption (WEP): The IEEE 802.11 WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) stan-
dard defines two levels of encryption, a 64-bit key (this is sometimes represented
by 40bits) and a 128-bit key.

1 to 4.
Using an encryption key: Click Use pass phrase to activate, and enter 5 (for 64-
bit) or 13 (for 128-bit) alphanumeric characters (represented by 0-9, a-z, or A-
Z).
