Wi-Fi password from passphrase and hex

Question

On my Wi-Fi box, I have set a passphrase and also know the hex code. However, my iPhone needs a password.

Can I figure out the password from this information?

How else can I get around this?

Solution

The passphrase is the password. When done right, it is a long password though.

(However, as you also have a Hex version, it seems you're not using WPA or WPA2? WEP is not very secure, so change to WPA2 if possible, or WPA as your second choice! Also note that WEP has some problems with non-standard password lengths. Choose 5 characters for a 40 bit WEP, or 13 characters for 128 bit. Still, use WPA2 when possible!)
