levels of WEP: Off, 64-bit, and 128-bit. If you do not require encryption, Actiontec recommends you select Off (the factory default setting). Encryption is not required for wireless operation, and can reduce network performance. If you select 64-bit or 128-bit encryption, click Next to continue WEP configuration.

Off

Selecting Off disables encryption. Selecting this option allows any computer with wireless capability and the correct ESSID value to join your wireless network.

64-bit WEP

64-bit WEP requires four separate keys. Each key comprises five hexadecimal digit pairs. A hexadecimal digit consists of an alphanumeric character ranging from 0-9or A-F. An example of a 64-bit WEP key is: 4E-A3-3D-68-72. To create a set of 64-bit WEP keys, enter five hexadecimal digit pairs in each Key text box (Key 1:, Key 2:, Key 3:, Key 4:). After you activate 64-bit WEP on the Router, a computer with wireless capability can join the network only if these same keys are entered in the computer’s wireless encryption scheme.

☞Note: If the WEP keys on the Router have been changed, the WEP keys on any wireless clients must also be changed, or they will not be able to access the Router.
