How do I enable WEP Encryption on my DI-514, DI-524,
DI-614+, DI-624, DI-624S, DI-774, or DI-784 wireless router?
It is recommended to enable encryption on your wireless
router before your wireless network adapters. Please establish wireless
connectivity before enabling encryption.
Note:
Your network will slow down and wireless signal may degrade when enabling
encryption due to the added overhead.
Step 1 Log into the web configuration of the router by opening up a
web browser and typing in the IP address of the router (192.168.0.1).
Click
here if you cannot access the web-based configuration.
Step 2 Enter your username (admin) and your password (blank by
default). Click OK . Click the Home tab and click the Wireless
button on the left hand side of the screen.

Step 3 Select Enable next to the WEP radio buttons. For WEP
encryption select 64, 128, or 256-bit encryption. For the Key type select
HEX. If you have an option for Authentication type, select Shared
Key.
Step 4 Select Key 1. Enter a Hex encryption key that you make
up. The length of the encryption key will depend on what you selected under
WEP Encryption.
· 64-bit
encryption 10 characters
· 128-bit
encryption 26 characters
· 256-bit
encryption 58 characters (available on DI-614+ only)
The encryption key is HEX, meaning 0-9 and A-F are valid
characters. For example, A4583DFF1A (64-bit HEX key).
Step 5 Click on the Apply button then click on the Continue
button to save your settings.
Note: If using non-D-Link adapters, please refer to the manufacturer´s
documentation on enabling encryption.
