How Do I Configure the Cable Modem Gateway?

128 Bit Keys

For use with Encryption Mode set to 128-bit encryption. Enter 13-byte values for a Key. You do not have to set all four Keys. Usually only one is needed 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.

Use two numbers or letters in each box. Record your Key values. You will need these Key values when you set up your client (PCMCIA) wireless card. The Key values in each respective column must match.
