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 need to enter 26 hex keys.
For instance:
C3
03
0F
AF
0F
4B
B2
C3
D4
4B
C3

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 will now need to 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).
