Note to Mac users: The “Passphrase” option will not operate with
Apple ® AirPort ® . To configure encryption for your Mac computer, set the
encryption using the manual method described in the next section .
1 . Select “128-bit WEP” or “64-bit WEP” from the drop-down menu .
2 . After selecting your WEP encryption mode, you can enter you WEP
key manually by typing in the hex WEP key manually, or you can type
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 .
3 . Encryption in the Router is now set . Each of your computers on
your wireless network will now need to be configured with the same
passphrase . Refer to the documentation of your wireless network
adapter for information on making this change .
Using a Hexadecimal Key
A hexadecimal key is a mixture of numbers and letters from A–F and
0–9 . 64-bit keys are 10 digits long and can be divided into five two-digit
numbers . 128-bit keys are 26 digits long and can be divided into 13 two-
digit numbers .
For instance:
af 0f 4b C3 d4 = 64-bit key
C3 03 0f af 0f 4b b2 C3 d4 4b C3 d4 e7 = 128-bit key
In the boxes below, make up your key by writing in two characters
between A–F and 0–9 . You will use this key to program the encryption
settings on your Router and your wireless computers .
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 product to see which version you are
using . If you cannot configure your network with 128-bit encryption, try
64-bit encryption .
