Problem:
I am having difficulty setting up Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) security
on the Router.
Solution:
1.
Log into your Wireless Router.
Open your web browser and type in the IP address of the Wireless
Router (the Router’s default is 192.168.2.1). Log into your Router by
clicking on the “Login” button in the top, right-hand corner of the
screen. You will be asked to enter your password. If you never set a
password, leave the password field blank and click “Submit”.
Click the “Wireless” tab on the left of your screen. Select the
“Encryption” or “Security” tab to get to the security settings page.
2. Select “128-bit WEP” from the drop-down menu.
3. After selecting your WEP encryption mode, you can type in your hex
WEP key manually, or you can type in a passphrase in the “Passphrase”
field and click “Generate” to create a WEP key from the passphrase.
Click “Apply Changes” to finish. You must now set all of your clients
to match these settings. 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 example:
C3 03 0F AF 4B B2 C3 D4 4B C3 D4 E7 E4 = 128-bit key
4. Click “Apply Changes” to finish. Encryption in the Wireless Router 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 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.
Note to Mac users: Original Apple AirPort products support 64-bit
encryption only. Apple AirPort 2 products can support 64-bit or
128-bit encryption. Please check your Apple AirPort product to see
which version you are using. If you cannot configure your network with
128-bit encryption, try 64-bit encryption.
