Linksys WAP & Cisco Aironet 340

bungopah · 08-04-2002

I have linksys WAP & Cisco Aironet 340 but cant seem to figure out how to set up WEP on my Cisco. I had no problem doin it for my linksys WCF11 through linksys configuration utilities. I tried windoze utilities but it only support 40 & 104 bit whereas linksys works on 64 & 128 bit.

40 bit is the same as 64 bit.
104 bit is the same as 128 bit.

This is because the initialization vector is 24 bits. So 40+24=64, and 104+24=128. Its the same, just a different way to express it.

SO HOW DO I CONFIGURE IT? THERE IS NO PHARAPRASE TO GENERATE THE KEY ENCRYPTION SORRY FOR CAPS.

don't use a passphrase. just enter the WEP key in hex.

OK, got my XP laptop running with WEP but if I tried using Cisco utiities with win98 it will not go beyond the router. Its talking to the router with an excelent signal and everything. I tried winipcfg release and renew all but its not working, restart the card using the utilities etc. Help !!!
