wifi wap

[daveraby]

I have a D-Link DI-624 wireless router. I have just realised that I have not WAP running on it and is therefor not secure from being used / seen by others. How do I enable WAP and will I have to do anything on my laptop to ensure I receive the link? Thank you

I think you mean WEP and not WAP. However, if possible you want WPA and not WEP. WEP's not very good at all.

You need to log into your router's settings pages. Still have the manual? It should tell you there -- basically you open your web browser and type 192.168.1.1 or a similar number (may be 192.168.2.1 perhaps...). Then, you type in the default username and password, and then goto the security settings page for wireless, and enable it. You'll need to give it a password, that you'll also need to set on your laptop too.

if you can't find the manual, it seems to be here:
