I'm using an old Linksys wireless router that only has WEP security but the manual says:
NOTE: The WEP Passphrase is compatible with Linksys wireless products only. If you are use non- Linksys products, manually enter the appropriate WEP key on those devices.
I've tried to set up a password in the router but, presumably as explained in the above note, it's not recognised from the iMac.
If I have a logon password for my iMac will that prevent anybody trying to use my wifi to access my iMac?
If not what does it mean 'manually enter the WEP key'? Is this one of the 4 long numbers, each marked Keys 1-4 generated when the password is set up?
