Enabling Wep Wireless Security - D-Link DIR-400 User Manual

Section 3 - Configuration
Security Mode:
1. To enable wireless security on the router, use the
drop-down menu to select the desired option.
To enable WEP, select Enable WEP Wireless
Security (basic).
2. Next to Authentication, select either Open
or Shared Key. Shared Key provides greater
security.
3. Select either 64Bit or 128Bit encryption from the
drop-down menu next to WEP Encryption.
4. Next to Default Key Type, select WEP Key 1
and enter a WEP key that you create. Make sure
you enter this key exactly on all your wireless
devices. You may enter up to four different keys
either using Hex or ASCII. Hex is recommended
(letters A-F and numbers 0-9 are valid). In ASCII
all numbers and letters are valid.
5. Click Save Settings to save your settings. If you
are configuring the router with a wireless adapter,
you will lose connectivity until you enable WEP
on your adapter and enter the same WEP key as
you did on the router.
NOTE: It is recommended to enable encryption on your wireless router before your wireless network adapters. Please
establish wireless connectivity before enabling encryption. Your wireless signal may degrade when enabling encryption
due to the added overhead.
