Using a Hexadecimal Key for WEP Encryption
A hexadecimal key is a mixture of numbers and letters from A–F and
0–9. 64-bit keys are five two-digit numbers. 128-bit keys are 13
two-digit numbers. 64-bit keys are five two-digit numbers.
For instance:
AF 0F 4B C3 D4
= 64-bit key
C3 03 0F AF 0F 4B B2 C3 D4 4B C3 D4 E7
= 128-bit key
In the boxes below, make up your key by writing in two characters
between A–F and 0–9. You will use this key to program the encryption
settings on your Router and your wireless computers.
Note to Mac users:
Original Apple AirPort products support 64-bit
encryption only. Apple AirPort 2 products can support 64-bit or
128-bit encryption. Apple AirPort Extreme uses up to 128-bit
encryption. Please check your product to see which version you are
using. If you cannot configure your network with 128-bit encryption,
try 64-bit encryption.
