Remember that we are the largest free online dating service, so you will never have to pay a dime to meet your soulmate. For someone to connect to your wireless network, they'll need both. I suggest you make the SSID something less obvious than netgear. Please scan neighbourhoods for networks and when they see some that have default SSIDs, they are more likely to try and hack it. As for the passphrase, if it's asking for 26 hexadecimal characters, that means you're setting a 128bit WEP encryption key. You've probably heard the term. A hexadecimal character is anything between 0 and 9, and a to f. So: 0123456789abcdef Hexadecimal is a base 16 numbering scheme used by computers. Binary you've probably heard of, is a base 2 numbering scheme. And our numbering scheme is a base 10. After 9, we roll over to 10. In binary, it goes, 0, 1, 10, 11, 100, 101, 111, 1000, and so on. In hex, after f, it rolls over after 'f' to '10' which ISNT ten So basically, you need to enter a 24-character hexadecimal key. Using a computer already on the network either a wireless with the SSID and passphrase already, or a wired computer open an internet window and go to in the address bar 192. If it asks for a password, try the user admin, and the password left blank. If that doesnt work, either read the manual that came with the router, or reset the router there is a button on the back of the router. Once you are in the router's config, click on the left on wireless settings or something similar somewhere in the menu and it should be apparent where to type the SSID and passphrase. Its important that you write down your SSID and password to avoid problems in the future.
