Where to insert passphrase on Dlink-524

It depends on the model and the firmware your are running. Sounds like your dlink just supports 64bit WEP. A passphrase is just a phrase you type in and it converts it and sticks it in the wep location. Using the hex is fine. You might check for a firmware update at dlink.

I was told I need to insert a long pass phrase but my Dlink, I believe only allows 10 HEX values. Is there another place I can insert a long pass phrase?


First of all, make sure you update your DI-524 to version 1.05. According to the D-link website, this particular version fixes the WPA passphrase issue. The link is:

Once you've done this, you should be able to select WPA-PSK and enter a long nonsense passphrase up to 63 characters. Let us know how it goes. Take care.
