9. The Wireless Security Settings screen will appear next. Select a level of WEP encryption, 64-bit or 128-bit.
Enter a Passphrase, and click the Generate button to generate a WEP key. If you want to enter the WEP key
manually, then complete the KEY #1 field. (The Media Link’s WEP settings must match the WEP settings of
your existing wireless network.) Click Next to continue.
Passphrase - Instead of manually entering a WEP key, you can enter a Passphrase, so a WEP key will be
automatically generated when you click the Generate button. The Passphrase is case-sensitive and should
have 16 alphanumeric characters or fewer. It must match the passphrase of your wireless network and is
compatible with Linksys wireless products only. (You will have to enter the WEP key(s) manually on any nonLinksys wireless products.)
KEY #1 - If you enter a Passphrase, then the WEP key will automatically appear in this field after you click the
Generate key. If you prefer to enter the WEP key manually, then complete this field. If you are using 64-bit
WEP encryption, then the key must consist of exactly 10 hexadecimal characters. If you are using 128-bit
WEP encryption, then the key must consist of exactly 26 hexadecimal characters. Valid hexadecimal
characters are “0”-“9” and “A”-“F”.
10. Review your settings on the Confirmation screen before you save them. Click Save to continue. To change
your settings, click Back. To exit the Setup Wizard without saving your changes, click Exit without Saving
Changes.

you want to play . To install the software, click Install Media Server, and follow the on-screen instructions. If
you have already installed this software, click Exit.

click Performance and Maintenance and then Power Options.

settings.
