(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. For 128-bit encryption, enter exactly 26 hexadecimal characters. Valid hexadecimal characters are “0” to “9” and “A” to “F”.

Then click Connect and proceed to Step 3.

•PSK (Pre-shared key)

If your network has the wireless security PSK enabled, this screen will appear. You must enter the same security settings used on your network.
