Changing from WPA to WEP wireless security?

January 1st, 2012 | by admin |
asked:


Ok so I have a Netgear WNR2000 router and I am switching my security setting from WPA-PSK [TKIP] + WPA2-PSK [AES] to WEP. There is a box where it says Encryption Length and I can choose either 64 bit or 128 bit. What does that mean and which one should I choose? And also, after I change it would I have to do anything else later? Like configure it on other computers? Thanks!
