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 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.
The Wireless G
Desktop Network
Card cannot access
the network because
it is using a different Network key than the Network key
that is configured on the Wireless G Router.
