If you are using WPA security
A valid WPA passphrase is:
•
From 8 to 63 ASCII characters. ASCII characters in a WPA passphrase are case-sensitive.
or
•
Exactly 64 hexadecimal characters. Hexadecimal characters are A-F, a-f, and 0-9.
If your wireless network is not using security, then you will not have a WEP key or WPA passphrase. Using a wireless
network with no security is not recommended because it can allow intruders to use your network resources without
your consent.
