9.From the Encryption Strength menu, select the encryption key size:

•64-bit. Standard WEP encryption, using 40/64-bit encryption.

•128-bit. Standard WEP encryption, using 104/128-bit encryption. This selection provides higher encryption security.

10.Specify the active key by selecting the Key 1, Key 2, Key 3, or Key 4 radio button. Only one key can be the active key.

11.Enter the value for the key:

•For 64-bit WEP, enter 10 hexadecimal digits (any combination of 0–9, A–F). The key values are not case-sensitive.

•For 128-bit WEP, enter 26 hexadecimal digits (any combination of 0–9, A–F). The key values are not case-sensitive.

To join the modem router’s WiFi network, a user must enter the key value for the key that you specified as the active key.

12.Click the Apply button. Your settings are saved.

13.Make sure that you can reconnect over WiFi to the network with its new security settings. If you cannot connect over WiFi, check the following:

•If your computer or WiFi device is already connected to another WiFi network in your area, disconnect it from that WiFi network and connect it to the WiFi network that the modem router provides. Some WiFi devices automatically connect to the first open network without WiFi security that they discover.

•If your computer or WiFi device is trying to connect to your network with its old settings (before you changed the settings), update the WiFi network selection in your computer or WiFi device to match the current settings for your network.

Manage the WiFi Radio

The router includes an internal WiFi radio that broadcast a signal in the 2.4 GHz range. By default, the radio is on so that you can connect over WiFi to the modem router. You might sometimes want to turn off the WiFi radio. If you disable the WiFi radio, you can still use an Ethernet cable for a LAN connection to the modem router.

Note: If you want to disable the modem router’s WiFi radio, use a wired connection to avoid being disconnected when the WiFi radio is disabled.
