5. If your wireless network doesn’t have wireless security, select Disabled and then click the Next button to
continue. Proceed to Step 6.
If your wireless network has wireless security, select the method of security used: WEP, WPA Personal, WPA2
Personal, WPA Enterprise, WPA2 Enterprise, or RADIUS. WEP stands for Wired Equivalent Privacy, and WPA
stands for Wi-Fi Protected Access. WPA2 stands for Wi-Fi Protected Access 2. WPA is a stronger security
method than WEP. WPA2 is a stronger security method than WPA. RADIUS stands for Remote Authentication
Dial-In User Service. Click the

Proceed to the appropriate section for the security method used on your network: WEP, WPA Personal, WPA2
Personal, WPA Enterprise, WPA2 Enterprise, or RADIUS.
WEP
WEP - Select 64-bit or 128-bit encryption
Passphrase - Enter a passphrase in the Passphrase field, so a WEP key is automatically generated. It is case-
sensitive and should not be longer than 16 alphanumeric characters. This passphrase must match the
passphrase of your wireless network and is compatible with Linksys wireless products only. (If you have any
non-Linksys wireless products, enter the WEP key manually on those products.)
WEP Key - The WEP key you enter must match the WEP key of your wireless network. For 64-bit encryption,
enter exactly 10 hexadecimal characters. For 128-bit encryption, enter exactly 26 hexadecimal characters.
Valid hexadecimal characters are “0” to “9” and “A” to “F”.

TX Key - The default transmit key number is 1. If your network’s access point or wireless router uses transmit
key number 2, 3, or 4, select the appropriate number from the
TX Key drop-down box.
Authentication -The default is set to Auto, so it will auto-detect for Shared Key or Open System authentication.
For Shared Key authentication, both the sender and the recipient share a WEP key for authentication. For
Open System authentication, the sender and the recipient do not share a WEP key for authentication. If you
are not sure which authentication method to select, keep the default, Auto.
