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).
