How Do I Configure My DOCSIS Residential Gateway?
Field Name | Description |
Network Keys | Select these keys for use with Encryption Mode set to 64- |
1 through 4 | bit encryption. Enter |
64 bit keys | have to set all four Keys. Only one Key is used for a home |
| network. Each value is represented in hexadecimal. Use |
| only these numbers or letters: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, a, b, c, |
| d, e, and f to set up your encryption keys. |
| Note: It is generally a good practice to use only lowercase |
| letters when entering WEP encryption keys. Uppercase |
| letters can sometimes be confused with numbers. For |
| example, the uppercase letter “B” is often mistaken for the |
| number “8.” Using lowercase characters minimizes the risk |
| of confusing characters when copying keys from one |
| device to another. Uppercase characters will automatically |
| be converted to lowercase when the key or keys are |
| applied and saved to memory. |
| Use two numbers or letters in each box. Record your Key |
| values. You will need these Key values when you set up |
| your client wireless adapter. The Key values in each |
| wireless network device must match. |
