If you are using WPA security A valid WPA passphrase is: • From 8 to 63 ASCII characters. ASCII characters in a WPA passphrase are case-sensitive. • Exactly 64 hexadecimal characters. Hexadecimal characters are A-F, a-f, and 0-9. If your wireless network is not using security, then you will not have a security key. Using a wireless network with no security is not recommended because it can allow intruders to use your network resources without your consent. - Page 96 HECK YOUR KEY OR A WEP key or WPA passphrase is like a password. All devices on a WEP-secured wireless network must share the same WEP key, and all devices on a WPA-secured wireless network must share the same WPA passphrase. Note: Make sure you copy it exactly, including any capital letters, and store it in a safe place for future reference.
