Configuring WEP
To configure WEP data encryption:
1. Log in to the modem router at its default LAN address of http://192.168.0.1 with its default
user name of admin, and default password of password, or using whatever user name,
password, and LAN address you have chosen for the modem router.
2. From the main menu, select Wireless Settings to display the Wireless Settings screen.
3. In the Security Options section, select the WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) radio button:
Figure 2-3
4. Select the Authentication Type: Automatic, Open System, or Shared Key. The default is
Automatic.
Note: The authentication scheme is separate from the data encryption. You can select
an authentication scheme that requires a shared key but still leaves the data
transmissions unencrypted. If you require strong security, use both the Shared
Key and WEP encryption settings.
5. Select the Encryption Strength setting:
• WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) 64-bit encryption. Enter 10 hexadecimal digits (any
combination of 0–9, a–f, or A–F).
