Adding a WEP Password?
Hi,
How does one go about adding a WEP password to secure an internet connection.
We have a Linksys router and 3 Mac's all with Airport cards. How can I add a WEP key to stop anyone else using the network.
Thanks in advance.

The Linksys router admin tool should provide a means of securing the wireless connection. Typically you go to http://192.168.1.1 to log into the admin tool on the router. Check your documentation that came with the router, or if you don't have it, go to the Linksys web site (http://www.linksys.com) and check their technical support pages.

Use M.A.C. filtering, it is fairly effective without the messiness of WEP encryption. If you're not too paranoid... :smokey:

Add WPA encryption instead of WEP (that can be cracked in less than one hour nowadays) PLUS use MAC address filtering. That should be enough security for a home network.
