Where to insert passphrase on Dlink-524

Archived from groups: alt.internet.wireless (More info?)

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.
