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
Using a Hexadecimal Key
A hexadecimal key is a mixture of numbers and letters from A–F
and 0–9 64-bit keys are five 2-digit numbers 128-bit keys are 13
2-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
note to Mac users: Original Apple
