i want to enable wep with 128bit encryption but need a 26 digit hexadecimal key whats that ?

What its asking is for you to come up with a WEP key (passsword) that is 26 characters long using only the numbers from 0-9 and letters from A-F , u then enter this in to you router and you will prompted to enter it again on your laptop when u try to connect to your router.

Hex is 0 - 9 and A - F, as stated above. as long as you make up a 26 character string containing these digets you it should be ok. hust make sure your router is expecting hex as some now accept mny forms then convert it to hex without you knowing.
