Using a Hexadecimal Key

A hexadecimal key is a mixture of numbers and letters from A–F

and 0–9° 64-bit keys are 10 digits long and can be divided into five

two-digit numbers° 128-bit keys are 26 digits long and can be divided

into 13 two-digit numbers°

For instance:

AF 0F 4B C3 D4

= 64-bit key

C3 03 0F AF 0F 4B B2 C3 D4 4B C3 D4 E7

= 128-bit key

In the boxes below, make up your key by writing in two characters

between A–F and 0–9° You will use this key to program the encryption

settings on your Router and your wireless computers°

Note to Mac users:

Original Apple AirPort products support 64-bit

encryption only° Apple AirPort 2 products can support 64-bit or

128-bit encryption° Please check your product to see which version

you are using° If you cannot configure your network with 128-bit

encryption, try 64-bit encryption°

Setting MAC Address Control

The MAC address filter is a powerful security feature that allows you

to specify which computers are allowed on the wireless network°

Note:

This list applies only to wireless computers° This list can be

configured so any computer attempting to access the wireless network

that is not specified in the filter list will be denied access° When you

enable this feature, you must enter the MAC address of each client

(computer) to which you want to allow network access° The “Block”

feature lets you turn on and off access to the network easily for any

computer without having to add and remove the computer’s MAC

address from the list°
