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 all your wireless devices are sharing the same network key.
The following diagram shows the effect of not having the correct
network key throughout your network.
The Card cannot access the network because it uses a different network key
than the one configured on the wireless router.
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 two-digit numbers. 128-bit keys are 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
