the default setting.

continue. Proceed to Step 5.
If your wireless network has wireless security, select the method of security used: WEP, WPA-Personal,
WPA-Enterprise, RADIUS, or LEAP. WEP stands for Wired Equivalent Privacy, and WPA stands for Wi-Fi
Protected Access. WPA is a stronger security method than WEP. RADIUS stands for Remote Authentication
Dial-In User Service, and LEAP stands for Lightweight Extensible Authentication Protocol. Click the Next
button to continue or the Back button to return to the previous screen.
Proceed to the appropriate section for your security method: WEP, WPA-Personal, WPA-Enterprise, RADIUS, or
LEAP.
WEP
WEP - Select 64-bit or 128-bit encryption
Passphrase - Enter a passphrase in the Passphrase field, so a WEP key is automatically generated. It is case-
sensitive and should not be longer than 31 alphanumeric characters. This passphrase must match the
passphrase of your other wireless network devices and is compatible with Linksys wireless products only. (If
you have any non-Linksys wireless products, enter the WEP key manually on those products.)
WEP Key - The WEP key you enter must match the WEP key of your wireless network. For 64-bit encryption,
enter exactly 10 hexadecimal characters. For 128-bit encryption, enter exactly 26 hexadecimal characters.
Valid hexadecimal characters are "0" to "9" and "A" to "F".
