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 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 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

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�
