•WEP Encryption - In order to use WEP encryption, select 64-Bit (10 hex digits) or 128-Bit (26 hex digits) from the drop-down menu.

•Passphrase - Instead of manually entering WEP keys, you can enter a Passphrase. This Passphrase is used to generate one or more WEP keys. It is case-sensitive and should not be longer than 16 alphanumeric characters. (The Passphrase function is compatible with Linksys wireless products only. If you want to communicate with non-Linksys wireless products, you will need to enter your WEP key(s) manually on the non-Linksys wireless products.) After you enter the Passphrase, click the Generate button to create WEP key(s).

•Keys 1-4 - If you are not using a Passphrase, then you can enter one or more WEP keys manually.

In each key field, manually enter a set of values. (Do not leave a key field blank, and do not enter all zeroes. These are not valid key values.) If you are using 64-bit WEP encryption, then each key must consist of exactly 10 hexadecimal characters in length. If you are using 128-bit WEP encryption, then each key must consist of exactly 26 hexadecimal characters in length. Valid hexadecimal characters are “0”-“9” and “A”-“F”.

Enter the new Password a second time to confirm it.

•Restore Factory Defaults - Click the Yes radio button to reset all configuration settings to their default values. If you do not want to restore the factory defaults, then keep the default setting, No.
