Network key help (2 digits too many)

[Thebadbandit]

Can you help with the following ?

I have had this problem before but cant remember the correct way.
I have a pc conected in oe room through ethernet and another im trying to connect wireless from another room.

It has worked with no problemS for months, it is only after a complete reinstall of the pc which is wireless that as meant I need to know the wep key.

When generating the key through zyxel config page the key is always 2 digits long.
Have you any ideas ?

Rather than let your router generate the passkey try generating one here and entering it directly.

It was not a bump it was the answer to my own question (0x needed removing from the key)

Just manually override and change the WEP key. You can select how many bits to encrypt the WEP key. I would suggest the most secure 256bit.

Even though WEP is totally worthless and can be cracked in 2 minutes, it's better than nothing.
ZyXEL doesn't support WPA on old routers. Not sure about the new one.
