Wireless Passphrase. To complete your wireless security setup, you should choose a wireless passphrase that is easy for you to remember and hard for anyone else to guess. The first time you connect a new wireless device to this network you may need to enter this passphrase into the appropriate setup section in the connected device. To improve your network security, do not give out this passphrase to unauthorized uses. Please enter a phrase of letters and/or numbers from 4 to 24 digits long. Then, click Generate to create the Passphrase.

Key 1-4. If you want to manually enter WEP keys, then complete the fields provided. Each WEP key can consist of the letters A through F and the numbers 0 through 9. It should be 10 characters in length for 40/64-bit encryption or 26 characters in length for 104/128-bit encryption.

TX Key. Choose a Transmit (TX) Key from 1 to 4. The TX key is the key that will be used to encrypt your data. Although four keys can be created, only one key is used for encrypting data. Select one of the four keys for WEP encryption. Use the selected TX key to set up your wireless clients.
