Using the Belkin Wireless Network Utility
128-Bit WEP Encryption
1.
Select "128-bit WEP" from the drop-down menu.
2.
After selecting your WEP encryption mode, you can enter your
key manually 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 128-bit WEP, you need to enter 26 hex
characters.
For instance:
C3 03 0F AF 0F 4B B2 C3 D4 4B C3 D4 E7 = 128-bit WEP key
3.
Click "Apply Changes" to finish. Encryption in the wireless router
or access point is now set. Each of the 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.
