128-Bit WEP Encryption
Note to Mac® users:
The Passphrase option will not operate with
Apple® AirPort®. To configure encryption for your Mac computer,
set the encryption using the manual method described in the
next section.
1.
Select “128-bit WEP” from the drop-down menu.
2.
After selecting your WEP encryption mode, you can enter your
key manually by typing in the hex key manually, or you can type
in a passphrase in the “Passphrase” field and click “Generate” to
create a key.
A hex (hexadecimal) key is a mixture of numbers and letters from
A–F and 0–9. For 128-bit WEP, you need to 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 “Apply Changes” to finish. Encryption in the Router is now
set. Each of your computers on your wireless network will now
need to be configured with the same security settings.
WARNING:
If you are configuring the Wireless Router or Access Point
from a computer with a wireless client, you will need to ensure that
security is turned ON for this wireless client. If this is not done, you
will lose your wireless connection.
