Log into your Wireless Router or Access Point

Open your web browser and type in the IP address of the Wireless

Router or Access Point (The Router default is 19216821, the

80211g Access Point is 1921682254) Log into your Router by

clicking on the “Login” button in the top right-hand corner of the

screen You will be asked to enter your password If you never set a

password, leave the password field blank and click “Submit”

Click the “Wireless” tab on the left of your screen Select the

“Encryption” or “Security” tab to get to the security settings page

Select “128-bit WEP” from the drop-down menu

After selecting your WEP encryption mode, you can type in your

hex WEP key manually, or you can type in a passphrase in the

“Passphrase” field and click “Generate” to create a WEP key from

the passphrase Click “Apply Changes” to finish You must now set

all of your clients to match these settings A hex (hexadecimal) key

is a mixture of numbers and letters from A–F and 0–9 For 128-bit

WEP, you need to enter 26 hex keys

For example: C3 03 0F AF 4B B2 C3 D4 4B C3 D4 E7 E4 = 128-bit key

Problem:

I am having difficulty setting up Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) security on a Belkin Router or Belkin Access Point

solution:

Click “Apply Changes” to finish Encryption in the Wireless Router

is now set Each of your computers on your wireless network will

now need to be configured with the same security settings

WaRnInG: If you are configuring the Wireless Router or Access Point

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, you will

lose your wireless connection

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 Apple AirPort product to see which

version you are using If you cannot configure your network with 128-bit

encryption, try 64-bit encryption
