wireless security setup

Hi,

I set up a secured wireless network and want to share my connection with some people. I am using 128-bit WEP. I used a passphrase to generate the Hex code and then copied and pasted it to my windows wireless settings.

Everything is working and here's the question: How do I share my connection with my friends using a password? As for now, they have to enter the hex code.

Thanks for your suggestions

When I set my system up, I created a small file and put it in a secure place. If I wanted to add computers to my network later on, all I have to do is access this file and put it on a jump or flash drive and download it to the other computers and away they go.
Look through your router's configuration screens for a way to download the set up to add more computers. Maybe the help file can be of assistance.

Whether or not the phrase or the hex code must be entererd depends on the client.
