wireless router or access point. Select a channel that is not being used by any other wireless
networks within several hundred feet of your wireless router. For a link to more information
on the wireless channel frequencies, see “Wireless Communications” in Appendix B.

Once your computers have basic wireless connectivity to the wireless router, then you can
configure the advanced wireless security functions of the wireless router.
How to Configure WEP
To configure WEP data encryption, follow these steps:
1. Log in to the WGT624 v3 wireless router at its default LAN address of http://192.168.1.1 with
its default user name of admin and default password of password, or using whatever LAN
address and password you have set up.
2. Click the Wireless Settings link in the Setup section of the main menu.
3. From the Security Options section, select WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy). The WEP
options display.
Warning: If you are configuring the router from a wireless computer and you
change the router’s SSID, channel, or security settings, you will lose your
wireless connection when you click Apply. You must then change the
wireless settings of your computer to match the firewall’s new settings.
For this reason, it is best to use a wired connection between the computer
and the router while changing the basic setup or security settings.
