d. To use WEP encryption (recommended
to increase network security), select
64-bit
or
128-bit WEP
from the drop-down
menu, and enter either a Passphrase or WEP key.
Passphrase
- Instead of manually entering WEP keys, you can enter a
Passphrase, 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 prod-ucts,
enter the WEP key(s) manually on those products.)
Key 1
- This WEP key must match the WEP key of your wireless network.
If you are using 64-bit WEP encryption, then the key must consist of exact-ly
10 hexadecimal characters in length. If you are using 128-bit WEP
encryption, then the key must consist of exactly 26 hexadecimal characters
in length. Valid hexadecimal characters are “0” to “9” and “A” to “F”.
