or Internet when playing over an Internet Connection.
• SSID - The SSID is the unique name shared among all devices in your wire-
less network. The SSID must be identical for all devices in the wireless net-
work. It is case-sensitive and must not exceed 32 alphanumeric characters,
which can be any keyboard character.

• Passphrase - Instead of manually entering a WEP key, you can enter a
Passphrase, and the WEP Key will appear in the Key field. The Passphrase
is case-sensitive and should have 16 or fewer alphanumeric characters. It
must match the passphrase of your wireless network and is compatible with
Linksys wireless products only. (You will have to enter the WEP key man-
ually on any non-Linksys wireless products.) Write down the Passphrase
and click Next to continue.
• Key - You can also enter the WEP Key manually in the Key field. If you are
using 64-bit WEP encryption, then the key must consist of exactly 10 hexa-
decimal characters. If you are using 128-bit WEP encryption, then the key
must consist of exactly 26 hexadecimal characters. Valid hexadecimal char-
acters are "0"-"9" and "A"-"F".
If you would like to setup a second and/or third profile click Yes next to "Would
you like to configure another profile?". If not, click No.
When you have configured all of the profiles you wish, configuration is com-
plete.
