Wep Configuration - Zoom 3G+ Modem/Router User Manual

WEP Configuration

Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) is a basic encryption method that does not offer the
security strength of WPA or WPA2. Use this method only if some of your network's
wireless devices, such as a gaming console, do not support WPA2/WPA.
Important! If you choose to configure your Modem/Router using WEP encryption,
then you must configure all devices on your wireless network with the same WEP
encryption method and key.
You can configure WEP encryption using the
Configuration Manager's Advanced program.
1
In the Encryption drop down bar select WEP.
2
In the WEP KEY 1 box you have the choice of entering either a 64-bit key or a
128-bit key. If you want to use a 64-bit key enter 10 hex characters. (Hex
characters are the numbers 0-9, and the characters A-F.) If you want to use a
128-bit key enter 26 Hex characters. A 64-bit key provides slightly faster
performance while a 128-bit key provides slightly better security. We
recommend using a 64-bit key.
3
Write down this key and put it where you can find it – on the bottom of the
Modem/Router case, for instance.
4
Click Save. If you are connected wirelessly to the Modem/Router you will lose
the connection as soon as you click Save. When you re-establish your
wireless connection you will be prompted for the key that you just entered. You
must enter this key to be able to connect to the Modem/Router.
5
Now you need to set up each of your wireless devices with the Key that you
entered. See
instructions on connecting devices to the Modem/Router.
