sensitive and should not be longer than 16 alphanumeric

characters. This passphrase must match the passphrase

of your other wireless network devices and is compatible

with Linksys wireless products only. (If you have any non-

Linksys wireless products, enter the WEP key manually on

those products.)

The WEP key you enter must match 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”.

TX Key

The default transmit key number is 1. If your

network’s access point or wireless router uses transmit key

number 2, 3, or 4, select the appropriate number from the

TX Key drop-down box.

Authentication

The default is set to Auto, so it will

auto-detect for Shared Key or Open System authentication.

For Shared Key authentication, both the sender and the

recipient share a WEP key for authentication. For Open

System authentication, the sender and the recipient do

not share a WEP key for authentication. If you are not sure

which authentication method to select, keep the default,

Auto.
