Section 4 - Security
Congure WEP
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.
1. Log into the web-based conguration by opening a web browser and entering the IP address of the router (192.168.0.1).
Click on Wireless Setup on the left side.
2. Next to Security Mode, select Enable WEP Wireless Security (basic).
3. Next to Authentication, select either Shared Key or Open.
Shared Key is recommended as it provides greater security
when WEP is enabled.
4. Select either 64Bit or 128Bit encryption from the drop-down
menu next to WEP Encryption.
5. Next to Default Key Type, select WEP Key 1 and enter a WEP
key that you 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.
6. 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 adapter and enter the
same WEP key as you did on the router.
