you need to enter 10 hex keys.
For instance:

If you are using a wireless
client to turn on the security settings
in your wireless router (or access point), you will temporarily lose your
wireless connection until you activate security on your wireless client.
Please record the key prior to applying changes in the wireless router
(or access point). If you don’t remember the hex key, your client will be
locked out of the wireless router (or access point).
