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.

Select “WEP” from the “Security” menu’s “Allowed Client Type”.

Select “128-bit” as the WEP mode.

After selecting your WEP encryption mode, you can enter your

key by typing in the hex key manually, or you can put a check

mark in “Passphrase”, then type in your passphrase. Click “Apply

Changes” to generate four different hex keys.

A hex (hexadecimal) key is a combination 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

Select the “Default Key ID” from the drop-down menu.

WARNING:

If you are configuring the Wireless G 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,

your client will lose its wireless connection.
