Network signals broadcast by a router can be encrypted, and one method of security is WEP, Wired Equivalent Privacy. Encrypted signals help make sure only authorised people are using the router - this is done by having a WEP key. If a device knows the same WEP key as the router, then it is able to unencrypt the signal. If someone does not have access to the WEP key, it means they are unable to use the router.

What is difference between WEP 64 and WEP 128?
The 64 bit WEP key uses a 40 bit (10 Hex character) Encryption and a128 bit WEP key uses a 104 bit (26 Hex Character) Encryption.So the 128 bit WEP key is a higher level of encryption compared to 64 bit WEP.
What does WLAN security setting mean on a psp?
Wireless routers can be secured by using different types of encryption, which require an encryption key to download. So if your router uses 'WEP' encryption, then you'd select WEP on the PSP, before entering the WEP key specific to your router.
Where can you find a WEP key for your Nintendo DS without using a router?
That doesn't technically make sense - a WEP key is the password used to access an encrypted (one form of encryption at least) router. If you don't have a router, it makes no sense to ask for a WEP key - a WEP key to access what? It's like a key with no lock, the WEP key is for a router.So if there's no router, there's no point wanting a WEP key. If there is a router and you don't know the WEP key, then clearly it's someone else's router, and the encryption is precisely to stop unauthorised people using it.
What security key will work on a DSI?
The WEP key is the encryption code needed to access a wireless router.
What is suddenlinks wep key?
The WEP key is the encryption key needed to access the wireless network. Only people who are authorised to use it, will know the key, keeping unauthorised people off.
Is my WEP KEY my network?
No, the WEP key is the encryption code used to access your network. If you did a scan for active networks, the things you see are the 'SSN', the network 'names'.
How many characters are used in a 64 bit WEP encryption key?
10 characters
When I change my WPA key to WEP it doesn't save Help?
WPA and WEP are not compatible with each other. They are completely different kinds of encryption.
What does WEP stand for on Nintendo dsi?
WEP, or Wired Equivalent Privacy, is a kind of wireless encryption. So if your wireless router is using WEP encryption, it will have a passcode to allow your devices to connect and use it. That is what the DS is asking for.
Would you need the wep key of your internet modem to get on to the internet using a nintedo ds lite web browser?
If your router is protected by WEP encryption, then yes, you need to know the WEP key to allow the DS to access it.
What does the WEP key mean when setting up your web browser?
WEP is a type of wireless encryption, it encrypts the signal between router and connected device. The router will have a decryption key which is what all connected devices must use. So that is the WEP key it is asking for.
What is the wep key for a psp go?
The 'WEP' key is the encryption key set by the owner of the wireless router. If it's your own router, then you should already know the WEP key, it's the same one your PC/Laptop uses to connect. If it's someone else's router, then you'd need to get their permission. Otherwise the encryption is doing its job fine and keeping unauthorised people off the network.
