My computer is connected to the above router with a ethernet cable while two other computers connect wirelessly. Now I am trying to secure my network but I don't know how to go about it. I went into my router settings enabled WEP 128 bits 26 HEX digits and I have a empty box labelled passphrase and WEP key with a random sequence. How do I enable securoty? I tried putting in a passphrase and entered it and the key into the other computers but couldn't get in.

Did you make sure you entered in the correct SSID on all the devices?

Yep all the same ID

Just to be sure, when you enter in the key into the other computers, are you making sure it's actually hex values?

Thanks for the help it's all sweet now. One question though is the passphrase in the router settings supposed to be the same as the network name? I coulnd't get it to work with a different name but now it works when I enter the network name as passphrase. Thanks anyway

Well, something sounds odd about that, but if it works, hey I'm glad.
