2. In the Security Options section, select the WEP radio button.
3. Select the authentication type: Automatic, Open System, or Shared Key.
The default is Open System. The authentication is separate from the data encryption.
You can select authentication that requires a shared key, but still leaves data
transmissions unencrypted. Security is stronger if you use both the Shared Key and WEP
encryption settings.
4. Select the encryption strength setting:
• WEP 64-bit encryption. Enter ten hexadecimal digits (any combination of 0–9, a–f, 
or A–F).
• WEP 128-bit encryption. Enter 26 hexadecimal digits (any combination of 0–9, a–f,
or A–F).
5. Enter the encryption keys.
You can type in the values or generate the four data encryption keys. Wireless computers
or devices must use the passphrase or type the keys to access the extender network.
• To use a passphrase to generate the keys, enter a passphrase, and click Generate.
The keys are generated.
• Fill in the Key 1–Key 4 fields.
- These values are not case-sensitive. Enter ten hexadecimal digits (any
combination of 0
–9, a–f, or A–F).
- Select which of the four keys you want to be the default.
Data transmissions are encrypted using the default key. The other keys can be used
only to decrypt received data.
6. Click Apply.
Your settings are saved.
If your computer was connected wirelessly to the extender network, it is disconnected. To
join the extender network, you need to use the new settings that you specified.
