802.11e/WMM  (Wi-Fi®  Multimedia)  QoS

while  WPA2-Enterprise  (RADIUS)  is  implemented  in  a  business 
environment  where  an  external  radius  server  distributes  the  network 
key  to  the  clients  automatically.  This  guide  will...

Using a Hexadecimal KeyA hexadecimal key is a mixture of numbers and letters from A–F and 
0–9. 64-bit keys are 10 digits long and can be divided into five two-
digit numbers. 128-bit keys are 26 digits long and can be divided into 
13 two-digit numbers.
For instance:
AF 0F 4B C3 D4 = 64-bit key
 
C3 03 0F AF 0F 4B B2 C3 D4 4B C3 D4 E7  = 128-bit key
In the boxes below, make up your key by writing in two characters 
between A–F and 0–9. You will...
