I am having difficulty setting up Wired equivalent
Privacy (WeP) security on my Router .
1 .
Log in to your Router . Visit
http://router/
with your web browser .
Click on the “Login” button in the top right-hand corner of the
screen . You will be asked to enter your password . If you have never
set a password, leave the “Password” field blank and click “Submit” .
2 .
Click “Wireless” in the left-hand menu . Then
click “Security” just below that .
3 .
Select the “128-bit WEP” option .
4 .
You may type in a WEP key manually, or generate one from
a passphrase . Type a phrase in the “Passphrase” field and
click the “Generate” button . A WEP key is composed of 26
hexadecimal digits (0–9, A–F
.
. For example, C3 03 0F AF
4B B2 C3 D4 4B C3 D4 EE 74 is a valid 128-bit WEP key .
5 .
Click “Apply Changes” to finish . Your wireless
activity is now encrypted . Each computer using your
wireless network will need to use the new key .
note:
If you are configuring the Router over a wireless
connection, you will have to re-connect to the
Router after changing any security settings .
note:
Some older networking hardware supports
only 64-bit WEP encryption . If your older computers
cannot connect to your network, try 64-bit WEP .
