Setting 64-Bit or 128-Bit Encryption Using a Passphrase
(Easiest)
1. Select "64-bit" or "128-bit" from
the drop-down menu (a).
2. Select "Create with Passphrase" (b).
3. Enter a passphrase and click
"Generate" (c). Clicking "Generate"
will generate four keys (d) if you
choose "64-bit" or one key if you
choose "128-bit". The keys are
obscured for security reasons so they
cannot be read by another person.
4. You can now select which 64-bit key you want to use from the
"Default
Key ID" drop-down menu. Leave this set to "1" unless you have a
specific
reason to use another key. Click "Apply" for the changes to be saved.
Encryption is now enabled. Each wireless-equipped computer (client)
that needs
to communicate on the wireless network must be set to the same
encryption
settings (rate, passphrase, and key).
