Step 6: Type in any phrase in the field.
Step 7: Click Generate to automatically generate WEP key. You will notice that the values will change according to your pass phrase.
Step 8: Select one of the WEP key you want to use.
(note: make sure that your other computer has the same WEP key to communicate with the wireless router.)
Step 9: Click on Apply button.
Step 10: Click on Save Settings link to save the settings and for the settings to take effect.

You can also type in the WEP key manually.
(note: 0x is to differentiate that the key is in Hexadecimal.)
