There are two ways to set encryption:
•
Generate a key from text.
Enter the same text key
you used on your existing wireless devices, or create
a new one and use it on all of your wireless devices.
The text you use can be any character but it must be
exactly 5 characters or 13 characters long. Five
characters provides 40(64)-bit encryption, while the
13 character string provides 104(128)-bit encryption.
The software automatically generates a hexadecimal
encryption key from the text you enter. To see the
key that was generated, go to the Status screen and
click Details. See
Generate an encryption key from
•
Enter a key manually.
If the network you are
connecting the gateway to was configured by
manually entering a hexadecimal key (also called a
WEP key), you must use this option. See
Using data encryption may slightly affect wireless
performance. You can choose an encryption security
level of either 40(64)-bit or 104(128)-bit.
ISP settings
If you have already installed a modem, you should be
familiar with these settings. ISP settings control your
Internet connection between the gateway and your
modem. If your modem requires any settings to be made,
your ISP has provided them. For more information about
the ISP settings, refer to the online Help or the Install
Information Worksheet.
