Using the Belkin Wireless Networking Utility
128-Bit Encryption
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.
You can enter your key by typing in the hex key manually, or you can type
a passphrase into the "Passphrase" field and click "Generate" to create a
key. A hex (hexadecimal) key is a combination 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' equipment in your network, the easiest thing to do
is to use the hex WEP key from your wireless router (or access point) and
enter it manually into the hex WEP key table in your Card's configuration
screen.
