Hello,


WEP is special. 


To setup WEP on the Hook requires you add some extra information to the WEP password, specifically:

the index of the WEP key (0-3) (in your router it's probably labelled 1-4, so just subtract 1)

the length of the key, typically 5 or 13 bytes

the key itself

For example, let's say we have the key 123456789A at index 0, then this would be written as

0005123456789A

Breaking that down:


  • 00 - this is the key index 0. Other possible values are 01, 02, 03. 
  • 05 - this is the length of the 40-bit key (5 bytes - it's the number of letters/numbers in the key divided by 2). Another possible value is 0D for 104-bit keys. 
  • 123456789A - the remainder is the actual key

Thank you.
