Help on wireless encryption

Hi! I currently purchase Aztech DSL600EW and I don't know what is the password to connect to the modem? Can sombody help me?

 

Modems are usually shipped with the default of admin:admin as login and password which you should change as soon as you can get into the modem admin.

 

No!!! Please see the picture. I can log in to the modem, but i want to connect to wireless modem, but need password, i don't the encryption password, even i insert "6c 51 e7 92 2c 01 f9 b5 66 3a 34 d2 f0" as password, but wrong.

 

Have you completed all the setup required on the modem/router?
Have you configured the client properly?

The password should be optional. All you should need is the encryption key on both ends, on the wireless end and also on the router end.

 

Yes, all setup properly already.

 

But if i use 64bit and password is "hello" and it can be connected to wireless. But if i use 128bit, i can't change to encrypt to hello and the key is ASCII, so, i think 128bit is "e4 fd hb sc da ga" and what is the word?

 

You can't use "hello" for the encryption key. Look at the screen. It tells you you need a 10 digit hex key for 64 bit, and a longer one (26) for 128 bit and so on. "hello" won't work. Just follow the example on the screen. This is not a password, but a hex encryption key. Two different things..

 

I tried, "hello" word can be use, and when i connect to wireless using "hello" as password, its connect successfully. But for 128bit, in Hex, can't be connect. Any software that i can convert Hex to word?

Hmmm, ok, for 128 bit how about trying a 13 letter word. Might work.. Otherwise I have no idea...

 

Cannot, it give this message: Invalid WEP Key 0 ...Reverting to previous configuration

 

Ok, then all that's left is a 26 digit hex code. Make one up. Something like:

AA AE 1D AB 1B 2E 2D and so on till you hit 26 characters. Or find an online conversion utility and have it convert some 13 character word to hex for you. Then input it on both ends..

 

I think my wifi can't support 128 WEP. I went here: http://www.practicallynetworked.com/support/mixed_wep.htm

 

The clients do not support 128 bit WEP? Have you checked for updated drivers?

I'm using laptop, Acer TraverMate 290 and the driver is updated already, it is built in wifi.

 

What encryption options does the laptop have?

Try putting a 13 character word in there again for the 128 bit key, but also click the little box on the right beside it that says ASCII. See if that works.

 

It can be done, can be connected, but what i want is the Hex, how to find the password?

 

Problem solved, i email to Aztech, and they give this message to me: Make sure during the time when you enter your WEP encryption key on your wireless card, you don't include the <space> in between the WEP keys.
