TROUBLESHOOTING, SUPPORT, AND WARRANTY
I am having difficulty setting up Wired Equivalent
Privacy (WEP) security on my Router°
1°
Log in to your Router. Visit “http://router/” or “http://192.168.2.1”
with your web browser. Click “Security” under the WiFi
heading. You should now be on the Security page.
2°
Under Security Mode, select the “128-bit WEP” option.
3°
You may type in a WEP key manually, or generate one from
a passphrase. Type a phrase in the “Passphrase” field and
click the “Generate” button. A WEP key is composed of 26
hexadecimal digits (0–9, A–F). For example, C3 03 0F AF
4B B2 C3 D4 4B C3 D4 EE 74 is a valid 128-bit WEP key.
4°
Click “Save” to finish. Your wireless activity is now encrypted. Each
computer using your wireless network will need to use the new key.
Note:
If you are configuring the Router over a wireless
connection, you will have to re-connect to the
Router after changing any security settings.
Note:
Some older networking hardware supports
only 64-bit WEP encryption. If your older computers
cannot connect to your network, try 64-bit WEP.
