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 other wireless network devices 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”.

Advanced Users

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.

menu.

Passphrase - Enter a Passphrase, also called a pre-shared key, of 8-63 characters in the Passphrase field.
