Section 4 - Security

Configure WEP

It is recommended to enable encryption on your wireless router before your wireless network adapters. Please establish
wireless connectivity before enabling encryption. Your wireless signal may degrade when enabling encryption due to
the added overhead.

1. Log into the web-based configuration by opening a web browser and entering the IP address of the router (192.168.0.1).

Click on

Wireless Settings on the left side.

2. Next to Security Mode, select

Enable WEP Security.

3. Next to Authentication, select

Shared Key.

4. Select either

64-bit or 128-bit encryption from the drop-down

menu next to WEP Encryption.

5. Next to Key Type, select either

Hex or ASCII.

Hex (recommended) - Letters A-F and numbers 0-9 are valid.

ASCII - All numbers and letters are valid.

6. Next to Key 1, enter a WEP key that you create. Make sure you

enter this key exactly on all your wireless devices. You may enter
up to 4 different keys.

7. Click

Save Settings to save your settings. If you are configuring the router with a wireless adapter, you will lose

connectivity until you enable WEP on your adapter and enter the same WEP key as you did on the router.
