Configure WEP Legacy WiFi Security for the Main WiFi
Network
Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) security is a legacy authentication and data encryption
mode that is superseded by WPA-PSK and WPA2-PSK. WEP limits the WiFi transmission
speed to 54 Mbps (the modem router is capable of speeds of up 300 Mbps).
Note: WPS and WEP security cannot function together. When you enable
WEP security, WPS is disabled.
Tip: If you want to change the WiFi settings of the modem router's main
network, use a wired connection to avoid being disconnected when
the new WiFi settings take effect.
To configure WEP security for the main WiFi network:

1. Launch an Internet browser from a computer or WiFi device that is connected to the
network.
2. Type http://www.routerlogin.net.
A login window opens.
3. Type admin for the user name and type your password.
If you did not yet personalize your password, type password for the password.
