WEP (64-Bit)

To use 64-bit WEP encryption, select WEP (64-bit). Then enter a passphrase or WEP key.

It must match the passphrase of your other wireless network devices and is compatible with Linksys wireless products only. (If you have any non-Linksys wireless products, enter the WEP key manually on those products.)

WEP Key - The WEP key you enter must match the WEP key of your wireless network. For 64-bit encryption, enter exactly 10 hexadecimal characters. Valid hexadecimal characters are “0” to “9” and “A” to “F”.

Click the Next button to continue or the Back button to return to the previous screen.
