[NTLK] Cool Device for WEP Access

[Chris Chapman]

Hi Alvin,

It's pretty easy to do. You choose to the Asus access point like any other network which has no password by default and once you connect it will take you to the management interface in a web browser. From there you tell the Asus to put it into share mode, and select the network you want to share, enter in the password for that network and then I set the Asus to WEP mode and entered in a hex string for the password, which you would then use on the Newton.
