And have a look under wireless setup

Or download the PDF file (files.dlink.com.au)

WEP is easy enough to hack, and Mac address filtering is the lamest of them all.

For a really random and complex 256-bit password, go here (www.grc.com) and get a password generated.
Just make sure you write it down somewhere safe and don't loose it! :lol:
