automatically generated when you click the Generate button. The Passphrase is case-sensitive and should

have 16 alphanumeric characters or fewer. It must match the passphrase of your wireless network and is

compatible with Linksys wireless products only. (You will have to enter the WEP key(s) manually on any non-

Linksys wireless products.)

- If you enter a Passphrase, then the WEP key will automatically appear in this field after you click the

Generate key. If you prefer to enter the WEP key manually, then complete this field. If you are using 64-bit

WEP encryption, then the key must consist of exactly 10 hexadecimal characters. If you are using 128-bit

WEP encryption, then the key must consist of exactly 26 hexadecimal characters. Valid hexadecimal

characters are “0”-“9” and “A”-“F”.
