WEP Wireless Security

Note: Before setting up wireless security, verify that your wireless connections are set up and working. See “Setting Up Your Wireless Connections” on page 2-2.

When you are setting up wireless security, these guidelines will help make the process simpler and easier:

•Use an Ethernet cable to connect your computer to the router when you are setting up or changing wireless settings. If you are connected wirelessly and you set up the wireless security, you will lose your wireless connection when you apply the change.

•Remember to note what your wireless settings are. For help keeping track of them, see “Information to Gather Before Changing the Wireless Settings” on page 2-3.

Note: For instructions for configuring wireless computers or personal digital assistants (PDAs) for WEP, see the documentation for the product you are using.
