If you want to use WEP to protect your wireless network, you need to set
the same parameters for the Barricade and all your wireless clients.

keys. To generate the key automatically with passphrase, check the
Passphrase box, enter a string of characters. Select the default key from the

(A hexadecimal digit is a number or letter in the range 0-9 or A-F.)
