wireless products only. (If you have any non-Linksys
wireless products, enter the WEP key manually on those
products.)

WEP Key

If you do not have the Passphrase, enter the

WEP key of your wireless network. For 64-bit encryption,
enter exactly 10 hexadecimal characters. For 128-bit
encryption, enter exactly 26 hexadecimal characters. Valid
hexadecimal characters are “0” to “9” and “A” to “F”.

System authentication, the sender and the recipient do
not share a WEP key for authentication. For Shared Key
authentication, both the sender and the recipient share a
WEP key for authentication.
