Access the web interface for the BEFW11S4 by going to 192.168.1.1 in your web browser. Click the button marked "WEP Key Setting". A pop-up window will give you options for encryption (64 or 128 bit). You can enter a passphrase and click Generate to automatically generate a WEP Key. When connecting a non-Linksys client to your BEFW11S4, enter the WEP Key on the client (as opposed to the passphrase).

Note: When reading the WEP key, make sure that you click the text box that the key is in, and press your right-arrow key to see the entire key (only the first 18 characters show up in the box - you have to scroll to see the remaining 8).
