Manage the Extender Network and Security Settings

N300 WiFi Range Extender WN2000RPT

Configure WEP

WEP is legacy WiFi security. Unless your WiFi network includes devices that do not support

WPA2 or WPA security, NETGEAR recommends that you use WPA2, WPA, or WPA + WPA

security.

Note: WEP security does not support WPS. If you change the security to

WEP, you can no longer let WiFi devices join the extender’s WiFi

network by using WPS.

 To set up WEP:

1. On your computer, launch an Internet browser such as Mozilla Firefox or Microsoft

Internet Explorer

2. In the address field of your browser, enter http://www

.mywifiext.net.

You are prompted to enter a user name and password. If you do not see the login prompt,

make sure to include http:// when you type http://www.mywifiext.net in your browser

3. Type admin for the user name and type your password.

If you have not yet personalized your password, type password for the password.

4. Select Setup > Wireless Settings.

5. In the Security Options section, select the WEP radio button.

6. From the

Encryption Strength menu, select the encryption strength setting:

• 64 bit. Requires an encryption key of 10 hexadecimal digits (any combination of 0–9,

a–f, or A–F) or a string of five characters.

• 128 bit

. Requires an encryption key of 26 hexadecimal digits (any combination of

0–9, a–f, or A–F) or a string of 13 characters.

7. Specify the active key by selecting the Key 1, Key2

, Key3, or Key 4 radio button.
