Sharing the Same Network Keys
Most Wi-Fi products ship with security turned off. So once you have your
network working, you need to activate WEP or WPA and make sure your
wireless networking devices are sharing the same network key.

Using a Hexadecimal Key
A hexadecimal key is a combination of numbers and letters from A–F and 0–9.
64-bit keys are five two-digit numbers. 128-bit keys are 13 two-digit numbers.
For instance:
AF 0F 4B C3 D4
= 64-bit key
C3 03 0F AF 0F 4B B2 C3 D4 4B C3 D4 E7
= 128-bit key
In the boxes below, make up your key by writing in two characters
between A–F and 0–9 in each box. You will use this key to program the
encryption settings on your Router and your wireless computers.
Note to Mac users:
Original Apple
®
AirPort
®
products support 64-bit
encryption only. Apple AirPort 2 products can support 64-bit or
128-bit encryption. Please check your product to see which version you
are using. If you cannot configure your network with 128-bit encryption,
try 64-bit encryption.

WEP Setup
64-Bit WEP Encryption
1.
Select “64-bit WEP” from the “Security” menu’s “Security Mode”.

After selecting your WEP encryption mode, you can enter your key
by typing in the hex key manually, or you can put a check mark in
“Passphrase”, then type in your passphrase. Click “Generate” to
generate four different hex keys.
A hex (hexadecimal) key is a combination of numbers and letters from
A–F and 0–9. For 64-bit WEP, you need to enter 10 hex keys.
For instance:
AF 0F 4B C3 D4
= 64-bit WEP key
3.
Click “Apply Changes” to save the setting.
WARNING:
If you are configuring the Wireless G Router from a computer
with a wireless client, you will need to ensure that security is turned
ON for this wireless client. If this is not done, your client will lose its
wireless connection.

Apple AirPort. To configure encryption for your Mac computer, set the
encryption using the manual method described in the next section.
1.
Select “128-bit WEP” from the “Security” menu’s “Security Mode”.
2.
After selecting your WEP encryption mode, you can enter your key
by typing in the hex key manually, or you can put a check mark in
“Passphrase”, then type in your passphrase. Click “Generate” to
generate the hex keys.
A hex (hexadecimal) key is a combination of numbers and letters from
A–F and 0–9. For 128-bit WEP, you need to enter 26 hex keys.
For instance:
C3 03 0F AF 0F 4B B2 C3 D4 4B C3 D4 E7
= 128-bit WEP key
3.
Click “Apply Changes” to save the setting.
WARNING:
If you are configuring the Wireless G Router from a computer
with a wireless client, you will need to ensure that security is turned
ON for this wireless client. If this is not done, your client will lose its

Changing the Wireless Security Settings
Your Router is equipped with WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access), the latest
wireless security standard. It also supports the legacy security standard,
WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy). By default, wireless security is disabled.
To enable security, you must first determine which standard you want to
use. To access the security settings, click “Security” on the “Wireless” tab.
WPA Setup
Note:
To use WPA security, all your clients must be upgraded to drivers
and software that support it. At the time of this User Manual’s publication,
a security patch download is available, for free, from Microsoft
®
. This
patch works only with the Windows XP operating system. You must also
download the latest driver for your Wireless G Notebook Network Card
from the MyEssentials support site. Other operating systems are not
supported at this time. Microsoft’s patch supports only devices with
WPA-enabled drivers such as MyEssentials 802.11g products.
WPA uses a so-called pre-shared key as the security key. A pre-shared
key is a password that is between eight and 63 characters long. It can be
a combination of letters, numbers, and other characters. Each client uses
the same key to access the network. Typically, this mode will be used in
a home environment.
WPA2 is the second generation of WPA, offering a more advanced
encryption technique over WPA.
Setting WPA/WPA2
1.
Select “WPA/WPA2-Personal (PSK)” from the “Security Mode”
drop-down box.
2.
Select “WPA-PSK” for just WPA authentication, or “WPA2-PSK” for just
WPA2 authentication, or you may select “WPA-PSK + WPA2-PSK” for
WPA and WPA2 as the authentication type.
3.
Enter your pre-shared key. This can be from eight to 63 characters and
can be letters, numbers, or symbols. This same key must be used on
all of the clients that you set up. This pre-shared key will allow users
full access to your network including shared files and printers.
4.
Click “Apply Changes” to finish. You must now set all clients to match
these settings depending on the type of access you want them to have.
