(If you have any nonLinksys 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". Advanced Users TX Key The default transmit key number is 1. If your network's access point or wireless router uses transmit key number 2, 3, or 4, select the appropriate number from the TX Key drop-down box. Authentication The default is set to Auto, so it will auto‑detect for Shared Key or Open System authentication. For Shared Key authentication, both the sender and the recipient share a WEP key for authentication. For Open System authentication, the sender and the recipient do not share a WEP key for authentication. If you are not sure which authentication method to select, keep the default, Auto.
