| 708370 | 2008-09-28 19:52:00 | I’m trying to setup my wireless USB adaptor on a Presario 700 notebook. All goes normally until I enter the password and get the following message. “The network password needs to be 40bits or 104 bits depending on your network configuration. This can be entered as 5 or 13 assci characters or 10 or 26 hexadecimal characters”. I’ve never struck this before and I’ve set up a number of notebooks for visitors so they can use my broadband. The password is 8 characters by the way. All help appreciated. |

The other option if the password is correct is to temp remove the protection from the router - make it open / no password, then see if it will connect, assuming it does, enable the security and try again. |
