These instructions assume that you are starting from factory defaults.
STEP 1: Select madatory WEP encryption and set a 128-bit key in encryption key 1. Your clients will need to match this information. They will need a 128-bit key in the same slot.
Security >> Encryption Manager
- Encryption Modes section
-- Choose "WEP Encryption" and select "Mandatory"
- Encryption Keys section
-- Set Transmit Key to Encryption Key 1
-- Encryption Key 1: 12345678901234567890123456
-- Encryption Key 1 Key Size: 128 bit
- Click Apply
STEP 2: Setup a SSID.
Security >> SSID Manager
- Current SSID List (delete the default SSID, and create your own)
- Current SSID List:
- SSID: my-ssid
- Authentication Settings:
-- Select "Open Authentication"
--- NOTE: You can come back later and enable MAC authentication. Keep it simple the first time through and don't use MAC authentication.
--- NOTE: All other settings on this page should be at factory defaults.
- Click Apply
The following is the CLI equivalent of the instructions:
