WEP

Make sure the settings you configure match the settings of your wireless network.

WEP

WEP  Select 64-bitor 128-bitencryption.

Passphrase  Enter the network’s Passphrase, so a WEP key is automatically generated. It is case-sensitive and should not be longer than 16 alphanumeric characters. This passphrase must match the passphrase of your other wireless network devices and is compatible with Linksys wireless products only. (If you have any non-Linksys wireless products, enter the WEP key manually on those products.)

WEP Key  If you do not have the Passphrase, enter 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”.

Advanced Users

TX Key  The default is 1. If your network’s wireless router or access point uses transmit key number 2, 3, or 4, select the appropriate number.

Authentication  The default is Open System. For Open System authentication, the sender and the recipient do not share a WEP key for authentication. For Shared Key authentication, both the sender and the recipient share a WEP key for authentication.
