on my Hub?
It may be possible to upgrade your computer operating system or wireless adapter
to support WPA. See your wireless adapter manufacturer's web site for more
information. If your adapter or device only supports WEP, you can change your
Hub to accept WEP wireless connections (see below).

How do I change my Hub to accept WEP wireless connections?

Q
We recommend that you use WPA, but if you need to change the settings, type
http://home in the address bar of your web browser and press
key to access your Hub Manager. Then:
click on the Wireless

under Wireless Security, select

under Wireless Key, use either the
3
key and type in a new 'key' of your choice. You can use letters 'a' to 'f' or any
numbers. It should be ten characters for 64-bit and 26 characters for 128-bit
WEP key length. (Please don't enter the default key that came with your Hub.)
make a note of your new key and click Save. You may be asked to enter your

password – if you haven't changed it, the default password is the same as the
serial number on the side of your Hub.
Please note: any devices already connected wirelessly to your Hub will be
disconnected. To reconnect these, you'll need to use the new key you've
just chosen and change their security setting to WEP. Follow the instructions
provided with the devices. You'll probably need to locate the wireless network
connection settings, select your Hub from the list of devices in range, choose
to connect to it and enter your new key when asked.
