WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy)

If you have WEP enabled, this screen appears. Select 64‑Bit or 128-Bit. Then enter a passphrase or WEP key.

WEP Security

Passphrase  Enter a passphrase in the Passphrase field, so a WEP key is automatically generated. The passphrase is case sensitive and must be 31 or fewer alphanumeric characters. It must match the passphrase of your other wireless network devices and is compatible with Linksys wireless products only. (For non-Linksys wireless products, enter the WEP key manually.)

WEP Key  The WEP key must match the WEP key of your wireless network. For 64-Bit encryption, enter exactly 10 hexadecimal characters (“0”to“9”and“A”to“F”.) For 128‑Bit encryption, enter exactly 26 hexadecimal characters.

Click Connect and proceed to Step 3.

WPA2 Personal Security

Passphrase  Enter a Passphrase, also called a pre-shared key, of 8-63 characters in the Passphrase field. The longer and more complex your Passphrase is, the more secure your network will be.
