WEP Setup
64-Bit WEP Encryption

2. After selecting your WEP encryption mode, you can enter your key by typing in the hex key manually, or you can type in a passphrase
in the "Passphrase" field and click "Generate" to create a key.
A hex (hexadecimal) key is a mixture of numbers and letters from A–F and 0–9. For 64-bit WEP, you need to enter 10 hex characters.
For instance:
AF 0F 4B C3 D4 = 64-bit WEP Key
3. Click "Apply Changes" to finish. Encryption in the wireless router or access point is now set. Each of your computers on your wireless
network will now need to be configured with the same security settings.
WARNING: If you are using a wireless client to turn on the security settings in your wireless router or access point, you will
temporarily lose your wireless connection until you activate security on your wireless client. Please record the key prior to applying
changes in the wireless router or access point. If you don't remember the hex key, your client will be locked out of the wireless router or
access point.
