9. The Wireless Security Settings screen will appear next. Select a level of WEP encryption, 64-bit or 128-bit.
Enter a Passphrase, and click the Generate button to generate a WEP key. If you want to enter the WEP key
manually, then complete the KEY #1 field. (The Media Link’s WEP settings must match the WEP settings of
your existing wireless network.) Click Next to continue.
Passphrase - Instead of manually entering a WEP key, you can enter a Passphrase, so a WEP key will be
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.)
KEY #1 - 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”.
10. Review your settings on the Confirmation screen before you save them. Click Save to continue. To change

Passphrase: used much like a password, a
passphrase simplifies the WEP encryption
process by automatically generating the WEP
encryption for Linksys products.
WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy): a method

network for greater security.
