If you want to enable WEP encryption for greater wireless security, select the level of WEP encryption, 64-bitor 128-bit, and then enter a Passphrase.

Passphrase - Instead of manually entering a WEP key, you can enter a Passphrase, so a WEP key will be automatically generated after you click the Next button. The Passphrase is case-sensitive and should have 16 alphanumeric characters or fewer. It must match the passphrase of your wireless network and is compatible with Linksys wireless products only. (You will have to enter the WEP key(s) manually on any non-Linksys wire- less products.)

KEY #1 - If you are using 64-bit WEP encryption, then the key must con- sist of exactly 10 hexadecimal characters. If you are using 128-bit WEP encryption, then the key must consist of exactly 26 hexadecimal characters. Valid hexadecimal characters are “0”-“9” and “A”-“F”.

9 . Review your settings on the screen shown in Figure 5-8, before the Setup Wizard starts to copy your files. Click the Save button to continue.
