• Is your computer or mobile device connected to another WiFi network in your area? Some mobile
devices automatically connect to the first open network without WiFi security that they discover.
• Is your computer or mobile device trying to connect to your network with its old settings (before you
changed the settings)? If so, update the WiFi network selection in your computer or mobile device
to match the current settings for your network.
Configure WEP Legacy WiFi Security
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superseded by WPA-PSK and WPA2-PSK.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 router
is capable of speeds of up 800 Mbps in the 2.4 GHz band).
If you want to change the WiFi settings of the router’s main network, use a wired connection
to avoid being disconnected when the new WiFi settings take effect.
Tip
To configure WEP security:
1. Launch a web browser from a computer or mobile device that is connected to the router network.
2. Enter http://www.routerlogin.net.
A login window opens.
3. Enter the router user name and password.
The user name is admin.The password is the one that you specified the first time that you logged in.
The user name and password are case-sensitive.
The Dashboard displays.
4. Depending on the WiFi network that you are configuring, do one of the following:
• If you are configuring the main WiFi network, do the following:
a. Select Settings > Setup > Wireless Setup.
The Wireless Settings page displays.
b. From the Mode menu, select Up to 54 Mbps.
The page adjusts to display the WEP radio button.
• If you are configuring the guest WiFi network, select Settings > Setup > Guest Network.
The Guest Network page displays.
You can configure WEP security for the guest network only if the selection from
the Mode menu for the main WiFi network is Up to 54 Mbps.You cannot set the
WiFi mode for the guest network separately from the main WiFi network.
Note
5. In the Security Options section, select the WEP radio button.
The page adjusts.
