128-Bit WEP Encryption
Note to Mac users: The passphrase option will not operate with Apple AirPort� To configure encryption for your Mac computer, set the encryption using
the manual method described in the next section�
WArNiNG: if you are configuring the Wireless G router or access point
from a computer with a wireless client, you will need to
reconnect to the router and set up the connection with the
security key you’ve set up�
1� select “WeP” from the “security” menu’s “Allowed Client Type”�
2� select “128 bit” from the drop-down menu in “WeP Mode”�
3� 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 “Apply Changes” to
generate four different 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
