I am trying to help a friend get their wireless back up and protected. The
have a Aopen AOI-908 wireless router. It indicates in the manual the
length of a WEP128 key needs to be 13. It also indicates that it needs to
be in the format of xx-xx-xx-xx... for Hex.

We selected WEP128 Key 1 Hex and have tried a number of different
combination, but keep getting invalid encryption key error.

Any thoughts or help would be greatly appreciated!

Only numbers 0-9, and A-F are valid for hex.

WEP is a very poor form of protection - Google WEP and you'll see. Could
you use WPA instead?
