1.
To enable wireless security on the Router, use
the drop-down menu to select the desired option.
To enable WEP, select Enable WEP Wireless
Security (basic) .
2. Next to Authentication , select either Open or
Shared Key . Shared Key provides greater security.
3.
Select either 64Bit or 128Bit encryption from the
drop-down menu next to WEP Encryption .
4. Next to Default Key Type , select WEP Key 1 and
enter a WEP key that you create. Make sure you
enter this key exactly on all your wireless devices.
You may enter up to four different keys either using
Hex or ASCII . Hex is recommended (letters A-F and
numbers 0-9 are valid). In ASCII all numbers and
letters are valid.
5. Click Save Settings to save your settings. If you
are configuring the Router with a wireless adapter,
you will lose connectivity until you enable WEP on
your adapter and enter the same WEP key as you
did on the Router.
NOTE:
It is recommended to enable encryption on your wireless
Router before your wireless network adapters. Please establish
wireless connectivity before enabling encryption. Your wireless
signal may degrade when enabling encryption due to the added
overhead.
