It was reported in another thread that you must use HEX values in order to input the thread correctly. I have not had a chance to try this as I ended up setting up another router without WEP security (which is a Joke anyway).
eh? 64bit on MacOS and Windows is 5 ascii letters, and 128bit is 13...

i know this from setting up 23 netgear routers and infinite amount of airport expresses while working for Apple
