Figure 35 64 bit/128 bit Encryption Keys Screen - WEP Configuration
To set up WEP encryption:
1 Select 128 bit encryption or 64 bit encryption from the Encryption
Strength drop-down list.
2 Enter the passphrase which can be up to 31 characters long and may
contain any alphanumeric characters in the field.
3 Click on the Generate to generate 4 hex keys automatically. Virtually all
manufacturers support this scheme. Hexadecimal numbers are formed
from 0-9 and A-F. In 64 bit WEP, the passphrase will generate 4
different keys. However, in 128 bit WEP, this method only generates 1
key which is replicated for all 4 keys.
If you encounter any difficulty when you enable WEP ensure that you
check that each key on your wireless computer is exactly the same as
each key on your Router. In other words, Key number 1 on the
Wireless computer must have the same Hex number as Key number 1
on the Router, Key 2 on the Wireless computer must match Key 2 on
the Router and so on.
4 Select the Current WEP Key, which is the key the Router uses when it
transmits. You can change the selected key periodically to increase the
security of your network.
5 Click on Save to save your changes.
