Hey all.

Had no issues using my ATV at all, ever. Recently moved to a new town and a new apartment, and as part of the rent I get wireless internet included from the landlord.

Problem is the password is a WEP password, 26 digits, and I can't for the life of me get my ATV to connect. When I go to check the network settings it asks me if I want to use a WEP password, WEP 40/128-bit Hex, or WEP 40/128-bit ASCII, and I have no idea which one I'm even supposed to be trying. My Macbook Pro and Ipad had no troubles at all connecting by just typing in the password but my ATV is having some troubles.

How do I know which type of WEP security my network is using? I don't have access to the actual router but is there any way for me to tell at all? All the other networks I was ever connected to were WPA/WPA2 so it was much easier.

Thanks beforehand to whoever replies!
