Airport Express Issues With 64 Bit WEP & D-Link Router
I have spent two days trying to set up my new Airport Express, but I am having major issues with connecting it to a wireless router via WEP. I have read hundreds of forums and tried everything but nothing has worked.
Some Information:
1. I can manually configure my Airport Extreme with no problem from a laptop that I have with wireless connection
2. If I set my wireless router to no security, the Airport Extreme works fine.
3. When I enable WEP with a 64 Bit Hex key, and use the exact same key as a 40-bit key on the Airport Extreme, the Airport Extreme won't connect
4. Every other device in my house (PS3, XBOX, AppleTV, Other PC, IPOD Touch) works fine with the 64 Bit HEX WEP Key. Just not the Airport Extreme
5. I have tried adding $ signs to the front of the key
6. I have tried changing to a 64 BIT ASCII key and 128 BIT Hex key, but no luck
My setup is a D-Link DI-524 802.11g wireless router. My PC runs Windows XP.
Would appreciate some help. I have found a few posts with the same sort of setup where people have not had success, so I am wondering if it is time to take the AX back?
