4.If you chose Infrastructure Mode, go to Step 5 now. If you chose Ad-Hoc Mode, the Ad-Hoc Mode Settings screen will appear.

If your wireless network has wireless security, select the method of security used: WEP, PSK, PSK2, PSK+RADIUS, PSK2+RADIUS, or RADIUS. WEP stands for Wired Equivalent Privacy, and PSK stands for Pre- shared key. PSK2 stands for Pre-shared key 2. RADIUS stands for Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service. Click the Next button to continue or the Back button to return to the previous screen.

Proceed to the appropriate section for the security method used on your network: WEP, PSK, PSK2, PSK+RADIUS, PSK2+RADIUS, or RADIUS.

WEP

WEP - Select 64-bit or 128-bit encryption. You must enter the same security settings used on your network.

Passphrase - Enter a passphrase in the Passphrase field, so a WEP key is automatically generated. It is case- sensitive and should not be longer than 16 alphanumeric characters. This passphrase must match the passphrase of your wireless network 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. For 64-bit encryption, enter exactly 10 hexadecimal characters. For 128-bit encryption, enter exactly 26 hexadecimal characters. Valid hexadecimal characters are “0” to “9” and “A” to “F”.
