128-Bit WEP Encryption
Note to Mac users: The Passphrase option will not operate with Apple
AirPort. To configure encryption for your Mac computer, set the encryption
using the manual method described in the next section.
1. Select “128-bit WEP” from the drop-down menu.
2. After selecting your WEP encryption mode, you can enter your key
manually by typing in the hex key manually, or you can type in a
passphrase in the “Passphrase” field and click “Generate” to create a
key. A hex (hexadecimal) key is a mixture of numbers and letters from
A–F and 0–9. For 128-bit WEP, you need to enter 26 hex keys.
For instance:
C3 03 0F AF 0F 4B B2 C3 D4 4B C3 D4 E7 = 128-bit WEP key
3. Click “Apply Changes” to finish. Encryption in the Wireless Router or
Access Point is now set. Each of your computers on your wireless
network will now need to be configured with the same security
settings.
WARNING: If you are configuring the Wireless Router or Access Point from
a computer with a wireless client, you will need to ensure that security is
turned ON for this wireless client. If this is not done, you will lose your
wireless connection.
Changing the Wireless Security Settings
Your Router is equipped with WPA (Wireless Protected Access), the latest
wireless security standard. It also supports the legacy security standard,
WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy). By default, wireless security is disabled.
To enable security, you must first determine which standard you want to
use. To access the security settings, click “Security” on the Wireless tab.
