802.11b clients inserted into your laptop or desktop 
computer must have the same WEP settings as the 
AP in order for them to communicate with each 
other. 

 

WEP keys can automatically be created by using a Pass Phrase 
or generated Manually. 
 

PASS PHRASE METHOD 

When you enter a pass phrase, the  WNR2004 AP/Router 
generates four WEP keys for you.  You can generate those 
same WEP keys on any wireless client whose configuration 
utility supports pass phrases.  To setup WEP using a pass 
phrase, perform the following steps. 

1.  Select  either  64-bit or  128-bit  WEP encryption from the 

pull-down menu. 

2.  Type a pass phrase of up to 31 alphanumeric characters into 

the Pass Phrase field and click Generate to create the hex 
key(s). 

3.  Select  the active WEP key set (1, 2, 3,  or  4) for 64-bit 

encryption.   WEP 128-bit encryption creates only one key.   
Verify that you are using the same active key for all clients 
on your wireless network.  (If a client does not support pass 
phrases, you may manually enter the desired key on that 
client.)

A sample WEP configuration using a pass phrase is shown in the
