CHECK SECURITY KEYS If your wireless access point (wireless router) is using Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) security, the WEP key should be: • Exactly 10 or 26 hexadecimal characters. Hexadecimal characters are A-F, a-f, and 0-9. or • Exactly 5 or 13 ASCII characters. ASCII characters are letters, numbers, and symbols found on a keyboard. If your wireless access point (wireless router) is using Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) security, the WPA passphrase should be: • From 8 to 63 ASCII characters.
