Configure WEP Legacy WiFi Security for the Main WiFi
Network
Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) security is a legacy authentication and data encryption
mode that is superseded by WPA-PSK and WPA2-PSK. WEP limits the WiFi transmission
speed to 54 Mbps (the modem router is capable of speeds of up 300
Mbps).
Note: WPS and WEP security cannot function together. When you enable
WEP security, WPS is disabled.
Tip: If you want to change the WiFi settings of the modem router’s main
network, use a wired connection to avoid being disconnected when
the new WiFi settings take effect.
To configure WEP security for the main WiFi network:
1. Launch an Internet browser from a computer or WiFi device that is connected to the
network.
2. Type http://www.routerlogin.net.
A login window opens.
3. Type admin for the user name and type your password.
If you did not yet personalize your password, type password for the password.
4. Click the OK button.
The BASIC Home page displays.
5. Select BASIC > Wireless.
The Wireless Setup page displays.
6. From the Mode menu, select Up to 54 Mbps.
The WEP and WPA-PSK [TKIP] security options become visible.
7. In the Security Options section, select the WEP radio button.
