down menu to select the desired option. To enable WEP,
select Enable WEP Wireless Security (basic).

Key. Shared Key provides greater security.
3. Select either 64Bit or 128Bit encryption from the drop-
down menu next to WEP Encryption.
4. Next to Default Key Type, select WEP Key 1 and enter
a WEP key that you want to create. Make sure you enter
this key exactly on all your wireless devices. You may
enter up to four different keys either using Hex or ASCII.
Hex is recommended (letters A-F and numbers 0-9 are
valid). In ASCII all numbers and letters are valid.
5. Click Save Settings to save your settings. If you are
conguring the Router with a wireless adapter, you
will lose connectivity until you enable WEP on your

Router.

NOTE:
It is recommended to enable encryption on your wireless Router before your wireless network adapters. Please establish wireless connectivity before
enabling encryption. Your wireless signal may degrade when enabling encryption due to the added overhead.
