No able to connect to router with WEP key

I want to connect to a router with a 10 digit hex WEP key. Entering this key into Airport, I says that the password is invalid. Using a XP system, I use the same key with a shared autentication option. How can I wireless connect to this router. I know the SSID name. I tried also to start with a $ sign, but no success.

Put a $ sign in front of the password. So if your password is bnghtybngh type in $bnghtybngh.

My Ipod Touch won't connect to belkin 54g router with wep password 128 bit

Well basically, I try to connect to my router it is belkin 54g, I have a 128 bit password WEP security. When I put the password in correctly, it says that it's " Unable to connect ".
However, when I only put in the first 10 hex of my password it says connected, but when I go on facebook or safari it says " No Internet Connection".
Before you refer me to any solutions these are some of the things that I have tried but didn't work:
Putting a $ sign in front of the password
Restarting my router
Turning off security and then put back on ( When i turned it off it connected but when I turned it back on it wudnt connect)
Changing it to WPA (still doesnt work)
I have noticed that on my router, it keeps blocking me from connecting to it. All of the comptuers can connect to my router as normal however, my ipod touch can't.
It's really annoying because you can't even do half of the things without being able to connect to internet.
Please help me

are other things still connecting to the wifi without a problem?
Have you tried resetting network settings, then unplugging modem and router from power for 40 seconds then plugging back in letting the lights stabilize and Then recconecting with the ipod>?

Can't connect to network with wep enabled

I'm having problems connecting my mbp to my wireless network. It connects fine with no security enabled but when security is enabled I type in the wep key and I get a message saying there was an error conecting.
I have read loads of other posts and it seems a lot of people have managed to sort this problem by putting a '$' in front of the wep key when trying to connect. This is not working for me.
Is anyone in the same boat?
Does anyone know how to get around this?

Be sure you have the latest Airport software installed on your computer. Depending upon the particular router you are using you may need a firmware update for the router (if it's third-party or an older Apple Base Station that may need a firmware update.)

Problem connecting to non-apple routers with WEP key

Hi there, have tried to connect to two wireless routers recently which have WEP keys. One gives me "Connection timed out" after about 5 seconds and the other says "incompatible security". The passcode is too long to enter if I choose any of the WEP 40/128-bit options (it's 32 characters long!)
Any help appreciated.
Thanks,
Jon

Hi.
I can't connect to WEP networks either with Leopard 10.5.1.
It just says "incompatible Security". I've tried it for one hour without any luck.
Why doesn't Apple realize that there are millions of WEP encrypted networks out there and that it is essential to be able to connect to them. (it worked with Tiger, didn't it?)
Is there a knowledge base article out there what to do about it?
I just can't walk to hotel managers and ask them to switch to WPA, especially if they don't have a clue how to do that and older windows computers won't be able to connect any more.
Why a transparent menu bar but no way to connect to WEP networks?
I'm very disappointed. Apple, fix this! (now!)
Is there actually a way to get your money back for Leopard if this basic things don't work anymore?
Thank you for any help.

Frustrated - Can't connect to router with laptop after disconnect, other devices work fine.

I have a RevI Actiontec router with dual antennas(not sure of firmware as I am not at home). My wife can be on her laptop all day, then when I come home with my IPad, it make her lose connection to the router. The router still connects to my iPhone 4 and iPad (both with iOS 6.0.1), but she is unable to connect to router at all. Everything continues to function normally on my Apple devices, so we are still connected to the internet. I have a laptop as well, and when this is happening, both of the laptops stop connecting, but the apple devices and our Toshiba TV and BluRay players continue to function normally. As a temp fix, I disconnect internet from my iPad and restart the router. It works until we try to run both at the same time.
I am mildly computer literate, though I know little about network setups beyond security, MAC filtering, and other slightly advanced setup stuff.
This is really frustrating and seems to be getting worse. We used it like this in our new house for several months before this started happening.

Also check to make sure neither of the devices are set to use a static IP address.

Does the airport express need to be connected to router with ethernet cable to work?

We are trying to set up 2 zones for streaming music. The guys at Apple sold me an airport express. However I cannot get it to connect to the internet unless it's wired directly to my wifi router. This does not work for me as the components I need to plug into it are located in another room of the house. Am I doing something wrong or am I trying to get the AX do something it can't?

The Express cannot wireless extend non apple router.. however it can join a wireless network that is non-apple and it can work as a wireless to ethernet bridge. It should be able to connect the audio output to amp or speakers. But you need to do the setup, choosing join a wireless network which is under the options and not displayed as a standard connection type in the utility.
Here is one example of doing it.

Hello Ron,
Congratulations on your new iPad! It sounds like you are trying to use your iPhone 3GS as a Personal Hotspot for your new iPad, but it stopped working when you turned off Bluetooth.
I found an article with steps to troubleshoot issues with connecting to a Personal Hotspot. There are different methods to connect. If you are trying to connect using Bluetooth, Bluetooth will need to be turned on. You can follow the steps listed under the section titled, "Bluetooth troubleshooting" in the following article:

Thank you for posting in the Apple Support Communities.

Tecra A8: Unable to set up a wireless connection with WEP KEY encription

Hello.
I've just got a new TECRA A8-143, and I'm unable to connect to my 3COM wireless ADSL Modem when the WEP Key encription in enabled. As soon as the encription is switched off I'm connected to the internet, any suggestions!!
Thanks

Delete the wireless profile in the intel software under profiles. Then search for new networks while WEP or WPA is switched on in the router. The intel software should find it. Then press connect - it should ask you for the key. Type in the correct key or passphrase and it should work.

Can I run an app on USB flash connected to router with storage link?

Hello,
I'm considering purchasing the E2100L wireless router with storage link. When a client with a specific MAC address joins the network, I want to run a script which makes an ftp connection and puts a file from the USB flash to the client. Is it possible to run a Linux bash script from the USB flash drive to perform this task automatically?

Not possible. Check 3rd party firmware like dd-wrt.

Am i able to connect 40 iPads with USB hub(Powered) to iTunes (Windows) and Sync?

Dear Apple Support,
I would like to ask about can i connect 40 iPads with (USB Hub(Powered) able to support up to 127 Devices) to iTunes(Windows) and Sync all with same Apps?
Regards,
Xentrino

Okay... I've just found the solution. It's really simple, just plug the phone to the MacBook, fire up iTunes, check the "Sync Photos from iPhoto" option, make sure all the other options are not checked, and just sync. Voila! my iPhoto library is now in the palm of my hand.

Macbook not access work or home networks with wep key

I have just purchased a Macbook. It is to be used for work and home purposes. The work network is a given, and can not be changed. It requires a wep key that is 26 charcters long. When I input this via the Network instructions on my Macbook, it is not recognized. I have tried putting the prefix '$' in front, and '0x', and '0X' and placing in '"' (double quotes) and NO LUCK! I can't get into the network. This is no issue with multiple Windows PC's that I have. I can also access via pocket PC, and Cingular 8125 smartphone, but not Macbook.
At home, I can not access my network, a 2wire router, without disabling the wep key. Not acceptable. I have 2 Windows PC's that work fine on this network, with a 13 character wep key. Have tried the $ and all the other hints and no luck.
Suggestions please! I purchased this Macbook to be able to show that it could be a more reliable and productive machine, working in the office environment. So far, can't get into the office environment!
Thanks
Macbook Mac OS X (10.4.6)

Ok, some progress, but not in yet. I was able to "connect", but have no Internet connection. On the "Network Diagnostics", I have a green light for "AirPort", "Airport Settings", "Network Settings", BUT I have a red light for "ISP", "Internet" and "Server". I checked by "Sharing" settings, and have the Firewall On, since I know that the company requires such (tried with it off, and same status). Are there some ports I need to open? What other steps do I need to take to get beyond "connected" and really access the internet??
Thanks,
