Password - Linksys EtherFast Instant Broadband BEFW11S4 User Manual

WEP Encryption key can be generated in one of two ways:
1. You can create an encryption key by using a Passphrase. To generate
the encryption key using a passphrase, enter a text string in the Passphrase
box and press the Generate button. The Passphrase can be any text string
with a maximum of 31 alphanumeric characters.
2. You may enter the encryption key manually.
(The Passphrase method is recommended; however, you may need to enter
a manual key in order to meet the requirements of existing wireless equip-
ment on your network. If you are unsure, check with your System
Administrator.)
In either case, you should commit this Passphrase or Manual Key to memory.
You will probably need it for other wireless devices on the network.
Once you have chosen your key encryption method and entered either the
Passphrase or manual key, click the Apply button and the encryption portion of
the setup is complete.

Password

It is strongly recommended that you set a password for the router. When you
first power up the router, you will notice that the Password setting default is
"admin". For security, we recommend that you change your password often.
To change your password, enter your new password in the Router Password
box. Enter it again in the box just below the Router Password box, exactly as
you typed it in the first box. When you are sure you have entered the pass-
word as you want it, press the Apply button.
If you set the Restore Factory Default option and click Apply,
you will clear all of the router's settings. Do not restore to the
factory defaults unless you want to completely set up the
Router again. Once the Router is reset, you will have to re-
enter your configuration.
