This is format I used to enter my key: FFFF-FFFF-FF [4] Notice I am using key 4. There have been multiple posts by people who are using 128-bit keys, but I have never tried using anything but the standard 40-bit keys. AFAIK, anything above 40-bit with 802.11b is proprietary, but you may still get it to work. I believe the 802.11a and 802.11g standard both support higher levels of encryption.
