RADIUS. This option features WEP used in coordination with a RADIUS server. (This should only be used when a
RADIUS server is connected to the Router.) First, enter the RADIUS server’s IP Address and port number, along
with a key shared between the Router and the server. Then, select a Default Transmit Key (choose which Key to
use), and a level of WEP encryption, 64 bits 10 hex digits or 128 bits 26 hex digits. Last, either generate a
WEP key using the Passphrase or enter the WEP key manually. If you are using 64-bit WEP encryption, the key
must be exactly 10 hexadecimal characters in length. If you are using 128-bit WEP encryption, the key must be
exactly 26 hexadecimal characters in length. Valid hexadecimal characters are “0”-“9” and “A”-“F”.

WEP. WEP is a basic encryption method, which is not as secure as WPA. To use WEP, select a Default Transmit Key
(choose which Key to use), and a level of WEP encryption, 64 bits 10 hex digits or 128 bits 26 hex digits. Then
either generate a WEP key using the Passphrase or enter the WEP key manually. If you are using 64-bit WEP
encryption, the key must be exactly 10 hexadecimal characters in length. If you are using 128-bit WEP
encryption, the key must be exactly 26 hexadecimal characters in length. Valid hexadecimal characters are “0”-
“9” and “A”-“F”.

IMPORTANT: If you are using WEP encryption, always remember that each device in your
wireless network MUST use the same WEP encryption method and encryption key, or else your
wireless network will not function properly.
