WEP Encryption
Hi-
I have a wireless network with the TrueMobile 1184 router. Currently there are two Dell computers communicating wirelessly with it, and another connected through ethernet. All have windows XP. I would like to begin using WEP encryption, but I have no idea how to generate the keys. I have searched dell support but all I have come up with is what WEP is and how to enter the keys, not how to generate them. Any links or help would be appreciated. Thanks!!

This link takes you to a page that will display randomly generated hex keys of various lengths. The ones you want for "128-bit" WEP are the 104 bit keys. You can refresh the display to obtain a set of keys.
There's a problem with the site's SSL certificate that causes a warning to appear when you first access the site. I'm pretty certain that the site is legitimate, though. You can well imagine the potential for a well-publicized "trojan" key generation site. I've checked the output repeatedly and at different times and never found any duplicates.
