Check your security keys

A security key is like a password. All devices on the same network share the same security key.

Note: Make sure you copy down the security key exactly, including any capital letters, and store it in a safe place
for future reference.

The security key must follow the following criteria.

WEP key

•

Exactly 10 or 26 hexadecimal characters. Hexadecimal characters are A–F and 0–9.

•

Exactly 5 or 13 ASCII characters. ASCII characters are letters, numbers, and symbols found on a keyboard.

WPA-PSK or WPA2-PSK key

•

Up to 64 hexadecimal characters. Hexadecimal characters are A–F and 0–9.

•

Between 8 and 64 ASCII characters. ASCII characters are letters, numbers, and symbols found on a keyboard.
