Using 128-Bit Encryption
Selecting 128-bit encryption will bring up a screen similar to that shown in
Figure 5-8.
Select the Default Key that you will be using for your wireless network and then
enter the encryption key in the fields, under the heading “128-Bit Keys”, for
the corresponding key number you chose.The WEP key must be composed of
hexadecimal digits, which are any character between the numbers “0” through
“9” and the letters from “a” through “f”.
Then, click the Apply button.
Figure 5-8
Important: Some wireless products allow the use of a
“passphrase” in generating a WEP key. The Cable Gateway
does not, at present, allow the use of a “passphrase” and
requires the WEP key to be entered manually.
Do not utilize a “passphrase” in your wireless network
when using the Cable Gateway.
Important: All points on your wireless network must use
the same WEP encryption method and the same Key for
WEP to function properly.
Using 64-Bit Encryption
Selecting 64-bit encryption will bring up a screen similar to that shown in
Figure 5-7.
Select the Default Key that you will be using for your wireless network, and
then enter the encryption key in the fields under the heading “64-Bit Keys” for
the corresponding key number you chose. The WEP key must be composed of
hexadecimal digits, which are any character between the numbers “0” through
“9” and the letters from “a” through “f”.
Then, click the Apply button.
