When manually, the encryption key must consist of the letters “A” through
“F” and the numbers “0” through “9” and should be 10 characters in length
for 64-bit encryption, 26 characters in length for 128-bit encryption, or 32
characters in length for 152-bit encryption.) All points in your wireless net-
work must use the same WEP key to utilize WEP encryption.
If you wish to have the encryption key generated through a Passphrase, it
can be a maximum of 16 alphanumeric characters. Type this in the
Passphrase field and a key will be automatically generated. This passphrase
may not work with non-Linksys products due to possible incompatibility
with other vendors’ passphrase generators.
