Security Wizard: Set Admin Password
You can protect against unauthorized access to network settings by entering a password here. Only
those who know the password will be allowed to change network settings.
NOTE: Be sure to choose a password you can remember. If you forget your password, you will not have
access to any settings until you reset the router to factory programmed default settings.
Enter your password twice. Symbols will
replace your key strokes on the screen. The
password can be up to 15 characters (letters,
numbers, spaces and other punctuation marks).
The password is case sensitive (i.e., "cat" and
"Cat" are not the same).
Click Next to display the WEP Encryption
screen.
Set WEP Encryption
WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) helps protect your privacy by scrambling data that passes through your
network.
WEP: Click On to activate WEP encryption.
WEP encryption: Select encryption strength
from the drop down menu (64, 128 or 152-bit).
Larger numbers will make your system more
secure, but may result in slower data transfer.
Security Phrase: Enter a security phrase in the
last text box. (You can use letters, numbers,
spaces, and punctuation marks. You must enter
five characters for 64-bit, 13 characters for 128-
bit, or 16 characters for 152-bit encryption.)
Click Next to display the Security Setup
Completed screen.
CAUTION: All WEP settings must be identical in all wireless network devices. WEP Security
Phrase must match the WEP settings used in all your wireless adapters (may be called Security
Phrase, Ascii/Hex Key or other term).
