Follow the steps below to configure WEP Encryption Security.

a. Make sure the software is installed and the Wireless Adapter is into the USB port in your
computer.
b. Use the icon to open the Smart Wizard. The Settings tab page opens.
2. Configure the Security settings.
a. In the Profile box, select the profile or type in a profile name.
b. In the Network Name (SSID) field select the network, or enter the SSID.
c. In the Security section, select WEP.

Note: You will not get a wireless network connection unless the network SSID
matches exactly what is configured in the access point.
Note: The 128-bit encryption keys require more processing, and slow performance
slightly.
