128-Bit WEP

As a result of 64-bit WEP’s potential security weaknesses, a more

secure method of 128-bit encryption was developed. 128-bit

encryption includes a key length of 104 bits plus 24 additional bits of

system-generated data (128 bits total). Some hardware manufacturers

refer to 128-bit as 104-bit encryption.

Most of the new wireless equipment in the market today supports

both 64-bit and 128-bit WEP encryption, but you might have older

equipment that only supports 64-bit WEP. All Belkin wireless products

will support both 64-bit and 128-bit WEP.

Encryption Keys

After selecting either the 64-bit or 128-bit WEP encryption mode, it is

critical that you generate an encryption key. If the encryption key is

not consistent throughout the entire wireless network, your wireless

networking devices will be unable to communicate with one another

on your network and you will not be able to successfully communicate

within your network.

You can enter your key by typing in the hex key manually, or you can

type in a passphrase in the “Passphrase” field and click “Generate”

to create a key. A hex (hexadecimal) key is a mixture of numbers and

letters from A–F and 0–9. For 64-bit WEP, you need to enter 10 hex

keys. For 128-bit WEP, you need to enter 26 hex keys.

For instance:

AF 0F 4B C3 D4 = 64-bit WEP key

C3 03 0F AF 0F 4B B2 C3 D4 4B C3 D4 E7 = 128-bit WEP key

The WEP passphrase is NOT the same as a WEP key. Your card uses

this passphrase to generate your WEP keys, but different hardware

manufacturers might have different methods on generating the keys.

If you have multiple vendors’ equipments in your network, the easiest

thing to do is to use the hex WEP key from your Router or access

point and enter it manually into the hex WEP key table in your card’s

configuration screen.
