NETGEAR recommends that you use WPA2 or WPA unless your legacy wireless equipment does not support those standards.  To set up WEP: 1. In the Wireless Settings screen, in the Security Options section, select the WEP radio button. 2. Select the authentication type: Automatic, Open System, or Shared Key. The default is Open System.

Security is stronger if you use both the Shared Key and WEP encryption settings. 3. Select the encryption strength setting: • WEP 64-bit encryption. Enter 10 hexadecimal digits (any combination of 0-9, a-f, or A-F). • WEP 128-bit encryption. Enter 26 hexadecimal digits (any combination of 0-9, a-f, or A-F). Extender Network Settings 17
