128-Bit WEP Encryption
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

Click “Apply Changes” to finish. Encryption in the wireless router
(or access point) is now set. Each of the computers on your
wireless network will now need to be configured with the same
security settings.
WARNING:
If you are using a wireless client to turn on the security
settings in your wireless router (or access point), you will temporariy
lose your wireless connection until you activate security on your
wireless client. Please record the key prior to applying changes in the
wireless router (or access point). If you don’t remember the hex key,
your client will be locked out of the wireless router (or access point).
