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 WEP Key
C3 03 0F AF 0F 4B B2 C3 D4 4B C3 D4 E7 = 128-bit WEP 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 wireless router (or access point) and
your wireless computers.

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.
Setting up your Belkin Wireless Router (or Access Point)
to use Security
To start using security, you need to first enable WEP or WPA for your
wireless router (or access point). For Belkin Wireless Routers and
Access Points, these security features can be configured by using
the web-based interface. (See your wireless router's or access point's
manual for directions on how to access the management interface.)
Changing the Wireless Security Settings
The Belkin Wireless G Router and Access Point are equipped with
the latest WPA security feature. They also support the legacy WEP
security standard. By default, wireless security is disabled.
To enable security, you will need to determine which standard you
want to use (see page 15). To access the security settings, click
"Security" on the wireless section using the web-based interface.
(See your wireless router's or access point's manual for directions on
how to access the security settings.)
