If your access point is using WPA or WPA2 security, then the WPA passphrase should be:
•
Exactly 64 hexadecimal characters. Hexadecimal characters are A–F, a–f, and 0–9.
or
•
From 8 to 63 ASCII characters. ASCII characters are letters, numbers, and symbols found on a keyboard. ASCII
characters in a WPA passphrase are case
‑
sensitive.
Note:
If you do not know this information, then see the documentation that came with the wireless network, or
contact the person who set up your wireless network.

printer can be added.
