I have a problem with the connection with the router wireless in my office. I know the connection is a WEP 128 bit. and I have the key.
The problem is that the key is longer than the field in wich i can write the key on my AXIM x51.

The key is 26 character long.

Could someone help me, please?

many thanks,
Rudy from Italy

Just keep entering the key, the *'s scroll along to the left.

I think I have not understood. I have entered the key, but it doesn't work anyway.
Under the key field there is a field named "indice chiave", in english I think Indicator or Index key. I can choose from 1 to 4. Someone knows what does it mean??

Thanks

Most wireless networks allow administrators to enter one 'password' and have four keys created. This allows them to tell their users, "we are using key 2 this week" and then not have to go from station to station making the more complex changes required for a completely different password. In practice, I've never heard of anyone bothering to use it and the default is always key 1.

Even though you think you entered the 26-characters, it's pretty easy to make a mistake entering that many keyboard strokes using the onscreen keyboard when you can not see what has actually been entered. The only option is to try again (or convince the network administrator to switch to 64-bit - it's really just as secure as 128 and it's a lot easier to get 10 characters right).
