Hi,
Can you tell me what kind of security it's (WEP/WPA) and the number of character your password is made of.
WEP:
Character Input - 13 characters (ASCII WEP128 104 bit, key should contain 13 alphanumeric characters a-z, A-Z, 0-9)
Character Input - 5 characters (ASCII WEP64 40 bit, key should contain 5 alphanumeric characters a-z, A-Z, 0-9)
Hexadecimal Input - 26 digits (Hex WEP128 104 bit, key should contain 26 characters A-F, 0-9)
Hexadecimal Input - 10 digits (Hex WEP64 40 bit, key should contain 10 characters A-F, 0-9)
WPA:
Character Input - between 8 and 63 characters (ASCII WPA-PSK)
Hexadecimal Input - 64 digits
If your password is smaller or bigger than those values, it's not valid and your router/wireless access point shouldn't have let you set it.
