WEP keys
A WEP key is a security code used to control access to a
hotspot. A WEP key may be required to connect to the hotspot
(depending on how the hotspot is configured).
If you attempt a connection to a hotspot (listed on the WiFi tab)
that has a lock icon next to it, Watcher prompts you for the
WEP key.
Note: If you will be repeatedly using this hotspot, you can create a
profile that contains the WEP key. You will not be required to enter the
WEP key to connect thereafter.
WEP keys are composed of hexidecimal characters, and are
either 5 characters in length (where 64-bit encryption is in use)
or 26 characters in length (where 128-bit encryption is in use).
Watcher supports both standards.
