4. If you chose Infrastructure Mode, go to Step 5 now. If you chose Ad-Hoc Mode, select the correct operating

channel for your network. Then, select the Network Mode from the drop-down menu. Click the Next button,

and go to Step 5. Click the Back button to change any settings.

Channel - The channel you choose should match the channel set on the other devices in your wireless

network. If you are unsure about which channel to use, select the default channel (Channel 6).

Network Mode - Select Mixed Mode, and both Wireless-G and Wireless-B computers will be allowed on the

network, but the speed will be reduced. Select G-Only Mode for maximum speed, but no Wireless-B users

will be allowed on the network.

5. Select the type of security you want to use: 64-bit WEP, 128-bit WEP, or WPA-PSK. All devices in a network

must use the same type.

WEP

WEP - To use WEP encryption, select 64-bits or 128-bit characters from the drop-down menu, and enter a

passphrase or WEP key.

Passphrase - Instead of manually entering a WEP key, you can enter a passphrase in the Passphrase field, so

a WEP key is automatically generated. It is case-sensitive and should not be longer than 16 alphanumeric

characters. This passphrase must match the passphrase of your other wireless network devices and is

compatible with Linksys wireless products only. (If you have any non-Linksys 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. If you are using 64-bit

WEP encryption, then the key must consist of exactly 10 hexadecimal characters. If you are using 128-bit

WEP encryption, then the key must consist of exactly 26 hexadecimal characters. Valid hexadecimal

characters are “0” to “9” and “A” to “F”.

Transmit 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 Transmit Key drop-down box.

Authentication -The default is set to Auto, where it auto-detects for Shared Key or Open system. Shared

Key is when both the sender and the recipient share a WEP key for authentication. Open key is when the

sender and the recipient do not share a WEP key for authentication. All points on your network must use the

same authentication type.
