Click Wireless Settings in the RouteFinder Manager menu to open the Wireless
Settings dialog box. You can enter the ESSID and Channel number for your wireless

Encryption (WEP)
The WEP is a data security measure. The RC4 algorithm encrypts the wireless portion of
data transmissions. Select an encryption option from the list: Disabled (default), 40 bits
(Must use shared with WEP), or 40 bits (WECA Compliant). When selecting either of
the 40 bits options, you can select the Create with Passphrase option, enter the words
in the Passphrase box, then click Generate Key. Select a key from the Default Tx Key
list. You can also select the Manual Entry option to enter the encryption keys manually.
