How Do I Configure the Gateway Cable Modems?
65
64 Bit Keys For use with Encryption Mode set to 64-bit encryption.
Enter 5-byte values for a Key. You do not have to set
all four Keys. Only one Key is used for a home
network. Each value is represented in hexadecimal.
Use only these numbers or letters: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7,
8, 9, a, b, c, d, e, and f.
It is generally a good practice to use only
lowercase characters when entering WEP encryption
keys. Uppercase characters can sometimes be
confused with numbers. For example, the uppercase
letter “B” is often mistaken for the number “8.” Using
lowercase characters minimizes the risk of confusing
characters when copying keys from one device to
another. Uppercase characters will automatically be
converted to lowercase when the key or keys are
applied and saved to memory.
Use two numbers or letters in each box. Record your
Key values. You will need these Key values when you
set up your client wireless adapter. The Key values in
each wireless network device must match.
128 Bit Keys For use with Encryption Mode set to 128-bit
encryption. Enter 13-byte values for a Key. You do not
have to set all four Keys. Usually only one is needed
for a home network. Each value is represented in
hexadecimal. Use only these numbers or letters: 0, 1,
2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, a, b, c, d, e, and f.
