Configuring a Wireless Client for WEP

If you enabled WEP and set a key by configuring WEP on the SBG941, you must configure the same WEP key on each wireless client. The SBG941 cannot authenticate a client if:

Shared Key Authentication is enabled on the SBG941 but not on the client

The client WEP key does not match the SBG941 WEP key

For all wireless adapters, you must enter the 64-bit or 128-bit WEP key generated by the SBG941.

CAUTION Never provide the WEP key to anyone who is not authorized to use your WLAN.

Configuring a Wireless Client with the Network Name (SSID)

After you specify the network name on the Wireless Primary Network Page, many wireless cards or adapters automatically scan for an access point, such as the SBG941 and the proper channel and data rate. If your card requires you to manually start scanning for an access point, do so following the instructions in the documentation supplied with the card. You must enter the same SSID in the wireless configuration setup for the device to communicate with the SBG941.
