8. The Security Setting screen will appear next. Configure the Wired
Equivalent Privacy (WEP) encryption settings for your wireless network.
Note: The screen you see may vary slightly from the one shown in

WEP (Disabled/64-bit WEP/128-bit WEP) - If you do not want to use
WEP encryption, choose Disabled. To use WEP encryption, select 64-bit
or 128-bit WEP from the drop-down menu (recommended).
If you select 64-bit or 128-bit WEP, you have two choices. Enter the
passphrase of your wireless network in the Passphrase field, or enter the
WEP key of your wireless network in the Key 1 field.
Passphrase - This passphrase must match the passphrase of your wireless
network. This is the code used when logging a wireless device onto the
wireless network. The passphrase is case-sensitive and should not be longer
than 16 alphanumeric characters. Based upon the passphrase created by
you, WEP key settings are automatically generated. This passphrase is com-
patible only with other Linksys wireless products.
Key 1 - This WEP key must match the WEP key of your wireless network.
If you are using 64-bit WEP encryption, then the key must consist of exact-
ly 10 hexadecimal characters in length. If you are using 128-bit WEP
encryption, then the key must consist of exactly 26 hexadecimal characters
in length. Valid hexadecimal characters are "0" to "9" and "A" to "F".
