Wireless Configuration

Using WEP Encryption

From the Initial Setup page, click on “Encryption” under Wireless in the right side of the screen to access the Encryption page. The default setting for Encryption is “Disabled”.

Setting Encryption

Encryption requires a key on both the Router and the wireless-equipped computer to match. Keys can be entered manually or automatically by typing a passphrase. The easiest method is the use of a passphrase. To Enable 64-bit manual encryption, select 64-bit manually from the menu. You will notice when using 64-bit manual encryption there are 4 keys labeled “Key 1” through “Key 4”. Only one key can be used at a time. In manual mode, keys can be entered manually, but for ease of use, the software can generate keys using a “Passphrase” that you enter. Select “64-bit automatically” and enter a passphrase. This passphrase can be easily distributed to wireless equipped computer users in your network. For instance, creating a key using the passphrase “Passphrase” generates 4 keys in 64-bit encryption mode. 128-bit encryption mode uses only one key. Keys can be manually entered or created with a passphrase. A user of a laptop needs only to enter the passphrase and the key number (key number for 64-bit only) into their computer’s wireless management software to be able to communicate while using encryption. All computers on the network must use the same encryption rate and passphrase. The passphrase can be changed as often as desired.
