Note to Mac users: The “Passphrase” option will not operate with Apple® AirPort®.. To configure encryption for your Mac computer, set the encryption using the manual method described in the next section..

1.Select “128-bit WEP” or “64-bit WEP” from the drop-down menu..

2.After selecting your WEP encryption mode, you can enter you WEP key manually by typing in the hex WEP key manually, or you can type a passphrase in the “PassPhrase” field and click “Generate” to create a WEP key from the passphrase.. Click “Apply Changes” to finish.. You must now set all of your clients to match these settings..

3.Encryption in the Router is now set.. Each of your computers on your wireless network will now need to be configured with the same passphrase.. Refer to the documentation of your wireless network adapter for information on making this change..

Using a Hexadecimal Key

A hexadecimal key is a mixture of numbers and letters from A–F and 0–9.. 64-bit keys are 10 digits long and can be divided into five two-digit numbers.. 128-bit keys are 26 digits long and can be divided into 13 two- digit numbers..

For instance:

AF 0F 4B C3 D4 = 64-bit key

C3 03 0F AF 0F 4B B2 C3 D4 4B C3 D4 E7 = 128-bit key

In the boxes below, make up your key by writing in two characters between A–F and 0–9.. You will use this key to program the encryption settings on your Router and your wireless computers..

Note to Mac users: Original Apple AirPort products support 64-bit encryption only.. Apple AirPort 2 products can support 64-bit or 128-bit encryption.. Please check your product to see which version you are using.. If you cannot configure your network with 128-bit encryption, try 64-bit encryption..
