Sharing the Same Network Keys
Most Wi-Fi products ship with security turned off� So once you have
your network working, you need to activate WEP or WPA and make sure
your wireless networking devices are sharing the same network key�
The following diagram shows the effect of not having the correct
network key throughout your network�
Using a Hexadecimal Key
A hexadecimal key is a combination 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
In the boxes below, make up your key by writing in two characters
between A–F and 0–9 in each box� You will use this key to program the
encryption settings on your Router and your wireless computers�
