4.The Wireless Security screen will appear.

If your wireless network doesn’t use wireless security, select Disabled and then click the Next button to continue. Proceed to Step 5.

From the Security drop-down menu, select the security method you want to use: WEP, WPA Personal, WPA2 Personal, WPA Enterprise, or RADIUS. WEP stands for Wired Equivalent Privacy, and WPA uses a security standard stronger than WEP encryption. RADIUS stands for Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service. Then proceed to the appropriate instructions for your security method.

WEP

Select a level of WEP encryption to use, and then enter a passphrase or WEP key.

WEP - To use WEP encryption, select 64-bit or 128-bit characters from the drop-down menu.

Passphrase - Instead of manually entering a WEP key, you can enter a passphrase in the Passphrase field, so a WEP key is automatically generated. This case-sensitive 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- The WEP key you enter must match the WEP key of your wireless network. If you are using 64-bit WEP encryption, then the key must consist 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” to “9” and “A” to “F”.

Advanced Users:

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

Authentication - The default is set to Auto, where it auto-detects for Shared Key or Open system. Shared Key is when both the sender and the recipient share a WEP key for authentication. Open key is when the sender and the recipient do not share a WEP key for authentication. All devices on your network must use the same authentication type.
