WEP. WEP is a basic encryption method, which is not as secure as WPA or WPA2. To use WEP, select a Default Transmit Key (choose which Key to use), and a level of WEP encryption, 64 bits 10 hex digits or 128 bits 26 hex digits. Then either generate a WEP key using the Passphrase or enter the WEP key manually.

IMPORTANT: If you are using wireless security, always remember that each device in your wireless network MUST use the same wireless security method and shared key, or else the network will not function correctly. You may mix between WPA and WPA2 Personal or WPA and WPA2 Enterprise, but not between Personal and Enterprise, Personal and WEP, or Enterprise and WEP.

Change these settings as described here and click the Save Settings button to apply your changes or Cancel Changes to cancel your changes. For detailed instructions on configuring wireless security for the Router, turn to “Appendix B: Wireless Security.”
