Wireless-G Router WGR614v10 Reference Manual

Wireless Network Name (SSID). ______________________________ The SSID identifies the wireless network. You can use up to 32 alphanumeric characters. The SSID is case- sensitive. The SSID in the wireless adapter card must match the SSID of the wireless router. In some configuration utilities (such as in Windows XP), the term “wireless network name” is used instead of SSID.

If WEP Authentication is used, circle one: Open System, Shared Key, or Auto.

Note: If you select Shared Key, the other devices in the network will not connect unless they are also set to Shared Key and are configured with the correct key.

WEP Encryption Key Size. Choose one: 64-bitor 128-bit. Again, the encryption key size must be the same for the wireless adapters and the wireless router.

Data Encryption (WEP) Keys. There are two methods for creating WEP data encryption keys. Whichever method you use, record the key values in the spaces provided.

Passphrase Method. ______________________________ These characters are case-sensitive. Enter a word or group of printable characters and click Generate. Not all wireless devices support the passphrase method.

Manual Method. These values are not case-sensitive. 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.

Key 1: ___________________________________

Key 2: ___________________________________

Key 3: ___________________________________

Key 4: ___________________________________

If WPA-PSK or WPA2-PSK authentication is used:

Passphrase. ______________________________ These characters are case-sensitive. Enter a word or group of printable characters. When you use WPA-PSK, the other devices in the network will not connect unless they are also set to WPA-PSK and are configured with the correct passphrase. Similarly, when you use WPA2-PSK, the other devices in the network will not connect unless they are also set to WPA2-PSK and are configured with the correct passphrase.
