Using the MyEssentials Wireless Networking Utility
128-Bit WEP Encryption
1.
Select “WEP” from the drop-down menu.
2.
After selecting your WEP encryption mode, you can enter your
key by typing in the hex key manually. A hex (hexadecimal) key is
a combination of numbers and letters from A–F and 0–9. For 128-
bit WEP, you must enter 26 hex keys.
For instance:
C3
03
0F
AF
0F
4B
B2
C3
D4
4B
C3
D4
E7
= 128-bit WEP key
3.
Click “Save” to finish. Encryption in the wireless router (or
access point) is now set. Each of the computers on your wireless
network must now 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 temporarily
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).
