Using a Hexadecimal Key

A hexadecimal key is a mixture of numbers and letters from A–F and 0–9. 64-bit
keys are 10 digits long and can be divided into five two-digit numbers. 128-bit
keys are 26 digits long and can be divided into 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. You will use this key to program the encryption settings on your Router
and your wireless computers.
