screen will appear for one of

those encryption methods.

WEP Key Needed for

Connection

Select the level of encryption

you want to use, 64-bit or

128-bit. Then, enter a

passphrase or WEP key.

Passphrase - Enter a

passphrase, so a WEP key is

and should not be longer than

31 alphanumeric characters.

WEP Key 1 - For 64-bit

encryption, enter exactly 10

hexadecimal characters. For

128-bit encryption, enter
