NETGEAR WN3100RP manual Set Up WEP, Select Setup Wireless Settings

Universal Pass Through WiFi Range Extender WN3100RP

Set Up WEP

1.Select Setup > Wireless Settings.

2.In the Security Options section, select the WEP radio button.

3.Select the authentication type: Automatic, Open System, or Shared Key. The default is Open System.

Note: The authentication is separate from the data encryption. You can select authentication that requires a shared key, but still leaves data transmissions unencrypted. Security is stronger if you use both the Shared Key and WEP encryption settings.

4.Select the encryption strength setting:

•WEP 64-bit encryption. Enter 10 hexadecimal digits (any combination of 0–9, a–f, or A–F).

•WEP 128-bit encryption. Enter 26 hexadecimal digits (any combination of 0–9, a–f, or A–F).

5.Enter the encryption keys.

You can manually or automatically program the four data encryption keys. These values must be identical on all computers and access points in your network:

•Passphrase. To use a passphrase to generate the keys, enter a passphrase, and click the Generate button. This automatically creates the keys. Wireless computers must use the passphrase or keys to access the extender.

Note: Not all wireless computers support passphrase key generation. If your computer does not support the passphrase, then you have to type the encryption key to join the wireless network.

•Key 1–Key 4. Manually enter the four data encryption keys. These values are not case-sensitive. These values must be identical on all computers and access points in your network. Enter 10 hexadecimal digits (any combination of 0–9, a–f, or A–F).

6.Select which of the four keys is the default.

Data transmissions are always encrypted using the default key. The other keys can be used only to decrypt received data. The four entries are disabled if WPA-PSK or WPA authentication is selected.

7.Click the Apply button. Your settings are saved.
