Note: If you select Shared Key, the other devices in the network will not connect unless they are also set to Shared Key and are configured with the correct key. - WEP Encryption Key Size. Choose one: 64-bit or 128-bit. Again, the encryption key size must be the same for the wireless adapters and the wireless router. - Data Encryption (WEP) Keys. There are two methods for creating WEP data encryption keys. Whichever method you use, record the key values in the spaces provided. • Passphrase Method These characters are case-sensitive. Enter a word or group of printable characters and click Generate. Not all wireless devices support the passphrase method. • Manual Method. These values are not case-sensitive.
