Available Wireless Network

The available networks are listed in the table on the center of the screen by SSID. Select the wireless network you

wish to connect to and click the Connect button. (If you do not see your network listed, you can click the Refresh

button to bring the list up again.) If the network utilizes wireless security, you will need to configure security on

the Adapter. If not, you will be taken directly to the Congratulations screen.

1. If you have wireless security enabled on your network, continue to step 2. If you don’t have wireless security

enabled, continue to step 3.

2. If your network has the wireless security WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) enabled, this screen will appear.

Select 64-bit or 128-bit.

Then enter a passphrase or WEP key.

Passphrase - Enter a passphrase in the Passphrase field, so a WEP key is automatically generated. The

passphrase is case-sensitive and should not be longer than 31 alphanumeric characters. It 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. 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”.

Then click Connect and proceed to Step 3.
