Setup Wizard will search for all of the Wireless-G Range Expanders on your network.
9. Click the Yes button to continue or No to exit the Setup Wizard.
10. The Security screen shows the WEP key. If you would like to use Wired Equivalent Privacy
(WEP) encryption for your wireless network., enter the required information on the screen.
WEP. In order to utilize WEP encryption, select the WEP setting from the pull-down
menu, 64-bit (10 hex digits) or 128-bit (26 hex digits). If you do not wish to utilize
WEP encryption, make sure Disabled is selected. The Access Point's WEP
encryption is unique to Linksys and may conflict with other vendors' WEP encryption.
Passphrase. Instead of manually entering WEP keys, you can enter a Passphrase.
This Passphrase is used to generate one or more WEP keys. It is case-sensitive and
should not be longer than 16 alphanumeric characters. (The Passphrase function is
compatible with Linksys wireless products only. If you want to communicate with
non-Linksys wireless products, you will need to enter your WEP keys manually on
the non-Linksys wireless products.)
11. If you entered a passphrase, then the Key 1 field will display the automatically generated
WEP key. If you did not enter a passphrase, then enter a WEP key in the Key 1 field. Each
device in your wireless network must use the same WEP key for the network to function
properly.
Key 1. WEP keys enable you to create an encryption scheme for wireless LAN
transmissions. If the WEP key hasn't been automatically generated, then manually
enter a set of values. (Do not leave the field blank, and do not enter all zeroes. These
are not valid key values.) If you are using 64-bit WEP encryption, then each key must
consist of exactly 10 hexadecimal characters. If you are using 128-bit WEP
encryption, then each key must consist of exactly 26 hexadecimal characters. Valid
hexadecimal characters are "0"-"9" and "A"-"F".
