If you’re not familiar with your wireless network’s security method or your security
key, this information can be obtained by connecting to your wireless router.
See your router’s instructions if necessary, or contact your network provider or
the party who installed your wireless router.
Your wireless network’s name can be determined by using a computer on
your network that’s already connected to your wireless network.
For Windows XP and Vista
Double click on the wireless networking icon in the system tray.
For Mac OS X
Click on the wireless networking icon on the menu bar and make note of which
network has a check mark next to it.
Note to Apple Airport Base Station users: Squeezebox Boom follows the 802.11
standard and expects the WEP key to be in hexadecimal format.The Airport Base
Station uses ASCII characters for the WEP key. You’ll need to find the hexadecimal
version of your WEP key to configure your Squeezebox Duet. To do that,
please
follow these steps:
Open the Airport Admin Utility. On Mac OS X this utility can be found under
Applications -> Utilities in the Finder. In Windows, it can be found in Start ->
Programs -> Airport Admin Utility.
Select your base station and click the “Configure” button.
Once the Configuration window is open, click the “Password” icon at the top
of
the window (the icon resembling a padlock). This will show you the key in HEX
format. Write that down as the Security Key on the previous page.
Note: 64-bit WEP keys on the Airport Base Station will have exactly 5 characters;
128-bit keys will have exactly 13 characters.
