I am attempting to setup a repeater bridge and i'm at the step of setting up the encryption but I only have one key. I don't have access to the router I am connecting to to find out what the others are.

How do I enter the keys into DDWRT? I've tried but when I save it blanks them out.

I have, what I assume is, key1 and i've tried to fake the other three. I assume they have to be a matched group or something.

The "other" keys are just there for the router to try in case the first key does not work. (At least I think that is how those keys work.)

That's what I thought as well but then why would WPA only require one?

Anyways thanks for the comment, hopefully someone can give me an answer as to why the router won't save the key.

I can enter a "password/phrase" and hit generate. That works.
But not entering the HEX keys by hand.
