How to Configure WEP

To configure WEP data encryption, follow these steps:

1. Log in to the DG834G firewall at its default LAN address of http://192.168.0.1 with its default

user name of admin and default password of password, or using whatever LAN address and

password you have set up.

2. Click the Wireless Settings link in the main menu of the DG834G router.

3. Go to the Security Encryption portion of the page:

Select the Authentication Type.

5. Select the Encryption setting.

6. Enter the encryption keys. You can manually or automatically program the four data

encryption keys. These values must be identical on all computers and Access Points in your

network.

• Automatic — enter a word or group of printable characters in the Passphrase box and click

the Generate button. The four key boxes will be automatically populated with key values.

• Manual — enter hexadecimal digits (any combination of 0-9, a-f, or A-F).

Select which of the four keys will be active.

7. Select the radio button for the key you want to make active.

Be sure you clearly understand how the WEP key settings are configured in your wireless

adapter. Wireless adapter configuration utilities such as the one included in Windows XP only

allow entry of one key which must match the default key you set in the DG834G.
