Log onto your router?

lol What am I doing wrong?

albertross_2

try using a 13 character ascii, then generate, which will generate 26 hex.

or just copy and paste one of my examples

robert_harper_2000

all your examples produced the following error message
ERROR: FAIL TO UPDATE DUE TO... The value WEP key is wrong

Is it suppose to be this difficult? Thank you for your help with this

albertross_2

is this on the router, or windows? if on the router, did you paste it into the screen on post 18?

Keep trying Google '13 character ascii generate 26 hex' but not sure what I'm looking for

Post 18 was on the router via internet explorer

It must be either due to the length or the format.

if you are using the screen on post 18, it is either expecting

13 ascii e.g. abcdefzo$12dF or 2cookiecruble or any 13 characters you can type.

or

26 hex .. see my earlier examples, one of those should work.

alternatively, use the generator you were using, put in length 13, type in a 13 character password, calculate custom key, it will generate 26 hex, copy and paste that.

EDIT correction.. when putting it in the router in hex, you have to put 0x at the beginning to tell it you are talking hex, not ascii

so

0x[FONT=courier new,courier]D721BB2F2C8A70CA50A5BAA03D[/FONT][FONT=courier new,courier]

should work on the router

windows doesn't need the 0x at the beginning (I think .. never use wep/hex, it's too much hassle, wpa/ascii is easier and more secure).

It still doesn't seem to like it.. do I have to change any other settings ?

When I try to connect when it asks for the network key I enter D721BB2F2C8A70CA50A5BAA03D

on the router page I enter ox[/FONT][FONT=courier new,courier]D721BB2F2C8A70CA50A5BAA03D[/FONT]

albertross_2

first character is a zero?

0x ?
