When did WEP encryption come out for routers?

WEP stands for Wireless Equivalent Privacy and was introduced in September 1999, and originally provided only 64-bit encryption (it was later upgraded to offer 128-bit encryption). WEP was officially deprecated in 2004 because it is less secure than the newer methods, but it is still found on modern routers for purposes of compatibility.

Why is the WEP encryption key so small?

Though this was later lifted to 128-bit, even this form of encryption offered a very limited possible key size. This proved problematic for WEP. The small key size resulted in being easier to brute-force, especially when that key doesn’t often change.
