Changing the Passkey on a 861-W wireless router

[apearson1]

Does anyone know how to change the password on a 861-W router.  When it was set up cisco did it. 

[Stephen Rodriguez]

are you looking to change the WPA key?

dot11 ssid < your ssid >

wpa ascii < your new key at least 8 characters >

is this done through telnet or hyper terminal

and is there a list of commands to go on. The original set up was done by a

cisco tech.

yes, that woudl be done via a telnet/ssh or console session to the AP.

conf t

dot11 ssid < insert your ssid ?

wpa ascii < new key>

end

that should do it.

HTH,

I just logged in.

ap>

I entered

ap> conf t

This was what I received back

% Invalid input detected at '^' marker.

Also for some reason people think that the passkey has to be 26 characters.

Is that true?
