When manually, the encryption key must consist of the letters “A” through “F” and the numbers “0” through “9” and should be 10 characters in length for 64-bit encryption, 26 characters in length for 128-bit encryption, or 32 characters in length for 152-bit encryption.) All points in your wireless net- work must use the same WEP key to utilize WEP encryption.

If you wish to have the encryption key generated through a Passphrase, it can be a maximum of 16 alphanumeric characters. Type this in the Passphrase field and a key will be automatically generated. This passphrase may not work with non-Linksys products due to possible incompatibility with other vendors’ passphrase generators.
