If wireless security has been
enabled on this network, you will
see a wireless security screen. If
your network utilizes WEP (Wired

the WEP Key Needed for Connec-
tion screen will appear. If your net-
work utilizes PSK (Pre-Shared Key)

Then, enter a passphrase or WEP

case-sensitive and should not be
longer than 16 alphanumeric

network devices and is compati-
ble with Linksys wireless products
only. (Non-Linksys wireless prod-
ucts, require a WEP key to be
entered.)

match the WEP key of your wire-
less network. For 64-bit encryp-
tion, enter exactly 10
hexadecimal characters. For 128-
