Select “128-bit WEP” from the drop-down menu.

After selecting your WEP encryption mode, you can type in
your hex WEP key manually, or you can type in a passphrase
in the “Passphrase” field and click “Generate” to create a WEP
key from the passphrase. Click “Apply Changes” to finish. You

(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 characters.
For example:

WARNING:

ensure that security is turned on for this wireless client. If this is not
done, you will lose your wireless connection.

64-bit or 128-bit encryption. Please check your Apple AirPort
product to see which version you are using. If you cannot configure
your network with 128-bit encryption, try 64-bit encryption.

same key.
