If it's asking for a 5 digit key it might want the key in ASCII?? Does you have the option of changing how the key is input (the format)?
Thanks for your response!
Actually I'm sorry, it is definitely a 26 character WEP. When I enter it, i am told that to be a valid key, it must have 5 or 13 charaters. Any ideas?? I will ask my Internet provider about changing to a ASCII.
