Security Encryption (WEP) Key
These key values must be identical on all wireless devices in your network (key 1 must be
the same for all, key 2 must be the same for all, and so on).
The DG834G provides two methods for creating WEP encryption keys:
• Passphrase. These characters are case sensitive. Enter a word or group of printable
characters in the Passphrase box and click the Generate button.
Note: Not all wireless adapters support passphrase key generation.
• Manual. These values are not case sensitive.
64-bit WEP: enter 10 hexadecimal digits (any combination of 0-9, a-f, or A-F).
128-bit WEP: enter 26 hexadecimal digits (any combination of 0-9, a-f, or A-F).
