WEP encryption provides two levels of security:

● 64-bit key (sometimes referred to as 40-bit)

● 128-bit key (also known as 104-bit)

For improved security, use a 128-bit key. If you use encryption, all wireless devices on your

wireless network must use the same encryption keys.

You can create the key yourself and specify the key length (64-bit or 128-bit) and key index

(the location that a specific key is stored). The greater the key length, the more secure the

key. When the length of a key is increased by one character, the number of possible keys

doubles.

Key Length: 64-bit

Pass phrase (64-bit): Enter five (5) alphanumeric characters, 0-9, a-z or A-Z.

Hex key (64-bit): Enter 10 hexadecimal characters, 0-9, A-F.

Key Length: 128-bit

Pass phrase (128-bit): Enter 13 alphanumeric characters, 0-9, a-z or A-Z.

Hex key (128-bit): Enter 26 hexadecimal characters, 0-9, A-F.

With WEP data encryption, wireless station can be configured with up to four keys (the key

index values are 1, 2, 3, and 4). When an access point or a wireless station transmits an

encrypted message that uses a key stored in a specific key index, the transmitted message

indicates the key index that was used to encrypt the message body. The receiving access

point or wireless station can then retrieve the key that is stored at the key index and use it

to decode the encrypted message body.

(None)

CAUTION: Networks using no authentication or encryption are highly vulnerable to access

by unauthorized users.

On the Intel(R) PROSet/Wireless WiFi main window, use one of the following methods to

connect to a device to device network:

● Double-click a Device to Device (ad hoc) network in the WiFi Networks list.

● Select a Device to Device (ad hoc) network in the WiFi Networks list. Click Connect.
