RADIUS. This option features WEP used in coordination with a RADIUS server. (This should only be used when a

RADIUS server is connected to the Router.) First, enter the RADIUS server’s IP Address and port number, along

with a key shared between the Router and the server. Then, select a Default Transmit Key (choose which Key to

use), and a level of WEP encryption, 64 bits 10 hex digits or 128 bits 26 hex digits. Last, either generate a

WEP key using the Passphrase or enter the WEP key manually.

WEP. WEP is a basic encryption method, which is not as secure as WPA. To use WEP, select a Default Transmit

Key (choose which Key to use), and a level of WEP encryption, 64 bits 10 hex digits or 128 bits 26 hex digits.

Then either generate a WEP key using the Passphrase or enter the WEP key manually.

Change these settings as described here and click the Save Settings button to apply your changes or Cancel

IMPORTANT: If you are using WEP encryption,

always remember that each device in your wireless

network MUST use the same WEP encryption

method and encryption key, or else your wireless

network will not function properly.
