Encryption Choices. Please refer to “Preparing a Computer for Network Access:” in
Appendix B for a full explanation of each of the following choices, as defined by the IEEE
802.11g wireless communication standard. Choose the encryption strength from the drop-down
list:
64 or 128 bit WEP. When 64 Bit WEP or 128 Bit WEP is selected, WEP encryption will be
applied.
If WEP is enabled, you can manually or automatically program the four data encryption keys.
These values must be identical on all computers and access points in your network.
There are two methods for creating WEP encryption keys:
• Passphrase. Enter a word or group of printable characters in the Passphrase box and click the
Generate button.
• Manual. 64-bit WEP: Enter 10 hexadecimal digits (any combination of 0-9, a-f, or A-F).
128-bit WEP: Enter 26 hexadecimal digits (any combination of 0-9, a-f, or A-F).
Select the radio button for the key you want to make active.

1. Log in to the wireless modem router at its default LAN address of http://192.168.0.1 with its
default user name of admin and default password of password, or using whatever LAN
address and password you have set up.
2. Click the Wireless Settings link in the main menu of the wireless modem router.
