Wireless Security

Select the security method you want to use, WEP or WPA Personal (all devices on your wireless network must use the same security settings). Then follow the appropriate instructions.

WPA Personal

WPA Algorithm. TKIP is automatically selected as the encryption method.

WPA Shared Key. Enter the WPA Shared Key (also called Passphrase or Pre-Shared Key) used by your wireless network. It must have 8-32 characters.

WEP

TX Key. Select which WEP key (1-4) will be used when your network’s access point or wireless router sends and receives data.

WEP Encryption. Select the level of WEP encryption you wish to use, 64 Bit Keys (10 Hex chars) or 128 Bit Keys (26 Hex chars).

Passphrase. Instead of manually entering WEP keys, you can use a Passphrase to generate them. It is case- sensitive and should not be longer than 16 alphanumeric characters. (This Passphrase is compatible with Linksys wireless products only. If you are also using non-Linksys wireless products, you will need to enter your WEP keys manually on those products.) After entering the Passphrase, click the Generate button to create WEP key(s).

Key 1-4. If you used a Passphrase, the WEP keys will be displayed after you have generated them. If you are not using a Passphrase, manually enter a set of values in each field. (For 128-bit WEP, only one WEP key is permitted.) If you are using 64-bit WEP encryption, then each 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” through “9” and “A” through “F”.

Authentication. The default is set to Open System, for which the sender and the recipient do NOT use a WEP key for authentication. You can also choose Shared Key, when the sender and recipient use a WEP key for authentication. This setting should match the one on your network’s access point or wireless router.
