Setting WEP Encryption (64-bit, 128-bit)
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” or “64-bit WEP” from the drop-down menu.
2.
After selecting your WEP encryption mode, you can enter your
WEP key manually by typing in the 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. Note on passphrases: The
passphrase generation technique works with all Belkin wireless
clients. It is not guaranteed to work with other brands of wireless
clients. If you are using a mix of Belkin and other products, it is
recommended that you use a hex key. For more information on
hex keys, see page 51 in this User Manual.
3.
Encryption in the Router is now set. Each of your computers on
your wireless network will now need to be configured with the
same passphrase. Refer to the documentation of your wireless
network adapter for information on making this change.
