Using a Hexadecimal Key
A hexadecimal key is a mi xture of numbers and letters fr om A–F and
0–9. 64-bit keys are 10 digits long and c an be divided int o five two-digit
numbers. 128-bit keys are 26 digits long and can be divided in to 13
two-digit numbers.
For instance:
AF 0F 4B C3 D4 = 64-bi t key
C3 03 0F AF 0F 4B B2 C3 D4 4B C3 D4 E7 = 128-b it key
In the boxes below, make up you r key by writing in t wo characters
between A–F and 0 –9. You will use this key to program the encryption
settings on your Router and your wireles s computers.
