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 .
Note to Mac users: Original Apple AirPort products support 64-bit
encryption only . Apple AirPort 2 products can support 64-bit or 128-bit
encryption . Please check your product to see which version you are
using . If you cannot configure your network with 128-bit encryption, try
64-bit encryption .
