If you have selected Passphrase, enter a word or a character string from
which a key is generated according to the specied key length (per default,
128-bit) .
ASCII requests an input of 5 characters for a 64-bit key and 13 characters
for a 128-bit key.
For Hexadecimal, enter 10 characters for a 64-bit key or 26 characters for a
128-bit key in hexadecimal notation.

older hardware), click WEP Keys and set the Key Length to 64 bit. The WEP

default key.
