Setting up your wireless network adapter

3 After selecting your WEP encryption mode, enter your key by typing in the hex key
manually, or type in a passphrase in the Passphrase field, then click Generate to
create a key.
A hex (hexadecimal) key is a combination of numbers and letters from A–F and 0–9.
For 64-bit WEP, you need to enter 10 hex characters.
For instance:
AF 0F 4B C3 D4 = 64-bit WEP key
4 Click Save to finish. Encryption in the wireless router is now set. Each of your
computers on your wireless network will now need to be configured with the same
security settings.
Caution: If you are using a wireless client to turn on the security settings in your wireless
router, 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.
If you don’t remember the hex key, your client will be locked out of the wireless router.
Setting up 128-bit WEP encryption:
1 Select OPEN from the Network Authentication menu on the Wireless Network
Properties tab on the Edit information for a network page.
2 Select WEP from the Data Encryption menu.
