ØPull down the Encryption (WEP) menu and select either 64bit or 128bit encryption method.

ØSpecify the encryption keys. There are two methods to set the WEP keys, as described below:

Create Encryption Keys by Using a Passphrase

To create encryption keys by using a passphrase, click the Create Key with Passphrase check box and type a character string in the Passphrase field. As you type, the utility uses an algorithm to generate 4 keys automatically. Select either the 64bit or 128bit encryption first, and type a string in the Create Key with Passphrase field. Select one key from the 4 WEP keys and click OK. Then click the Apply button on the Configuration tab to make the setting take effect.
