Wireless LAN Configuration 7-5
• On - Manual allows you to enter your own encryption keys manually. This is a difficult process, but only
needs to be done once. Avoid the temptation to enter all the same characters.
Default Key (#1 – #4): Specifies which key the Router will use to encrypt transmitted traffic. The default is
key #1.
Key (#1 – #4): The encryption keys. You enter keys using hexadecimal digits. For 40/64bit encryption, you
need ten digits; 26 digits for 128bit, and 58 digits for 256bit WEP. Hexadecimal characters are 0 – 9, and
a – f. The longer the key, the stronger the encryption and the more difficult it is to break the encryption.
Examples:
• 40bit: 02468ACE02
• 128bit: 0123456789ABCDEF0123456789
• 256bit: 592CA140F0A238B0C61AE162F592CA140F0A238B0C61AE162F21A09C
You must restart your router for these settings to take effect. Press Escape twice to return to the Main Menu.
Select Utilities & Diagnostics and press Return.
