Reference Manual for Cable/DSL Wireless Router WGR614
3-6 Wireless Configuration
•Disable. No encryption will be applied. This setting is useful for troubleshooting your wireless
connection, but leaves your wireless data fully exposed.
•64-bit or 128-bit WEP. When 64-bit or 128-bit is selected, WEP encryption will be applied.
If WEP is enabled, you can manually or automatically program the four data encryption keys.
These values must be identical on all PCs and access points in your network.
There are two methods for creating WEP encryption keys:
•Passphrase. Enter a word or group of printable characters in the Passphrase box and click the
Generate button. These characters are case sensitive.
•Manual. For 64-bit WEP, enter 10 hexadecimal digits (any combination of 0-9, a-f, or A-F).
For 128-bit WEP, enter 26 hexadecimal digits (any combination of 0-9, a-f, or A-F). These
values are not case sensitive.
