Subject: Hardware: WEP won't work in Netgear WGR 614 wireless router
I've tried to set up WEP security in my WGR 614 Netgear wireless router
using 64-bit and then 128-bit encryption and Open Access though the
router's admin page
with a pass phrase.
Then no internet connection outside the router.
ALso tried using shared key with 64-bit and 128-bit encryption still the
same result.
What am I doing wrong?
You're only giving half of the equation. You say you're setting up WEP
security on your wireless router. Are you then setting this up on your
wireless network card on whichever PC your're trying to connect with? You
say "no internet connection outside router", do you mean from a PC
connecting to the router or from the router status on the admin page of the
router?
If you use the passphrase on router, you either need a wireless card that
will use a passphrase or you'll have to type in the full hex key. (I would
always use 128-bit, since although WEP is not the most secure at least don't
make it any easier!). If you have the MAC addresses of your wireless card(s)
loaded into the router you will need to use Shared, otherwise use Open
access.
