Re: Wireless Security (WEP)

Try entering hex key, not as ascii key, on both ends. I have heard that some
products generate the key differently if ASCII format is used. So just enter
the keys manually, or generate the key on other end using ASCII key and copy
the produced hex key as such to the other end.
