If you have WEP passwords, the procedure is similar:
In almost all cases you would select Authentication to be “Auto”
The next setting is critical, so you need to be careful to select the right choice.
Some laptop computers are more forgiving and will connect anyway, but the
camera needs to know
exactly
what type of WEP encryption is used.
Fortunately there is a way to tell based on the exact number of characters
used in your encryption key.
Key length 5 characters = WEP64 with ASCII
Key length 13 characters = WEP128 with ASCII
Key length 10 characters = WEP64 with HEX
Key length 26 characters = WEP128 with HEX
For example, Verizon often sets up their DSL modem / Wifi router with a
password similar to the customer’s telephone number, which is 10 digits and
therefore implies WEP64 and HEX. Some routers are configured for a key index
other than the factory default of 1. This is very rare.
When you’re done, click “Apply”, then “Test”.
Important: Do not forget to click on “Apply” before you leave the page.
Without “Apply” the wireless settings that you tested will
not
be saved.
If the test reports “Success!” you can remove the network cable and it should
work wireless after a short delay of about 30 seconds.
