UNDERSTANDING THE WEB-BASED USER INTERFACE
2. After selecting your WEP encryption mode, you can enter you WEP key
manually by typing in the 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 must now set all of
your clients to match these settings.
3. Encryption in the Router is now set. Each of your computers on your wireless
network will now need to be configured with the same passphrase. Refer to
the documentation of your wireless network adapter for information on making
this change.
Using a Hexadecimal Key
A hexadecimal key is a mixture of numbers and letters from A–F and 0–9. 64-bit
keys are five two-digit numbers. 128-bit keys are 13 two-digit numbers.
For instance:
AF 0F 4B C3 D4 = 64-bit key
C3 03 0F AF 0F 4B B2 C3 D4 4B C3 D4 E7 = 128-bit key
In the boxes below, make up your key by writing in two characters between A–F
and 0–9. You will use this key to program the encryption settings on your Router
and your wireless computers.
