WEP Wired Equivalent Privacy WEP Wired Equivalent Privacy is a common protocol that adds security to all Wi Fi compliant wireless products WEP was designed to give wireless networks the equivalent level of privacy protection as a comparable wired network 64 Bit WEP 64 bit WEP was first introduced with 64 bit encryption which includes a key length of 40 bits plus 24 additional bits of system generated data 64 bits total Some hardware manufacturers refer to 64 bit as 40 bit encryption Shortly after the technology was introduced researchers found that 64 bit encryption was too easy to decode 49 Using the Web Based Advanced User Interface 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 net
