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.
Note: Not all D-Link routers, print servers and access points
have a web-based configuration utility. Please check the manual for your
particular product. In particular, the DWL-900AP does not have a web
utility while the DWL-900AP+ does have a web utility. You cannot gain
web-based configuration utility functionality for the DWL-900AP by
installing the DWL900AP+ utility.
When entering the IP address of the D-Link device (192.168.0.1 for example),
you are not connecting to a website on the Internet
or have to be connected to the Internet. The device has the utility
built-in to a ROM chip in the device itself. Your computer must be on
the same IP subnet to connect to the web-based utility.
