Using no security means that anyone within range of your wireless network can use your network resources—including Internet access— if your wireless network is connected to the Internet. The range of your wireless network may extend far beyond the walls of your home, allowing access to your network from the street or from your neighbors’ homes.

If your access point is using WEP security, then the WEP key should be:

•Exactly 10 or 26 hexadecimal characters or

•Exactly 5 or 13 ASCII characters

If your access point is using WPA or WPA2 security, then the WPA/WPA2 preshared key/passphrase should be:

•Exactly 64 hexadecimal characters or

•From 8 to 63 ASCII characters

Notes:

•Hexadecimal characters are A–F, a–f, and 0–9.

•ASCII characters are letters, numbers, and symbols found on a keyboard. ASCII characters in a WPA/WPA2 preshared key/passphrase are case‑sensitive.
