Hex (Hexadecimal) Key
A hex 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.
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

Encryption in the Router is now set. Each of your computers
on your wireless network will now need to be configured with
the same hex key. Refer to the documentation of your wireless
network adapter for information on making this change.
Setting WPA Security
To use WPA security, your clients must be upgraded to drivers and
software that support WPA. At the time this manual was published,
a security patch from Microsoft was available for free download.
This patch works only with Windows XP. You also need to download
the latest driver for your Belkin 802.11g CardBus Card from Belkin’s
support site. Other operating systems are not supported at this time.
Only Belkin 802.11g clients support WPA at this time.

After selecting your WEP encryption mode, you can enter your
WEP key manually by typing in the HEX WEP key. Click “Apply
Changes” to finish.
