Hi all !

Can some one explain how to activate the wep protocol on my new router ?

Best regards.

Sorry i cant answer your question, but i can offer advice. Dont use wep. A wep password can be cracked in just minutes by even an amateur. There are tutorials all over the net on how to do it. Of course, you may have a reason for using it. Your choice…

I know, it’s just for my country-side house. There is an old box there … no worries

I read somewhere on the forum, that via SSH you could activate WEP encryption on this device. But I don’t know how. How to connect to the router via ssh and how to edit the files.

Pls check ssh and winscp usage from SSH to the Router - GL.iNet Docs

Thanks for your answer. Wether i’m using Yummy ftp on mac or Winscp on Win i get the same error. See screenshots below. I’m using wifi.

The first screenshot should be correct. Maybe just a wrong password.

The 2nd screenshot says sftp, which means wrong protocol. Should be scp, which is different from sftp.

Thanks a lot, the connection worked.
I did the text file editing as mentionned in this post: GL-MT300N V2 "Mango" Wifi WEP security encryption

I rebooted the router, but I can’t seem to find the wep setting anywhere ? Any hint ?

The setting is in /etc/config/wireless

Can you post the content of this file?
