What Is The Default Network Key For Di-524?
I have had my computer, modem, and wireless router for many years. I decided I needed to secure the network and followed the instructions on the DI-524 quick instalation guide. I never entered any numbers, letters, passwords, etc. When I found something called WEP it was disabled. I enabled it by checking the box. When I was done, I tried to access the internet using our security-enabled "default" network. It asked for a network key and I do not know the key. It was never set by me. Is there a default network key?

There is no default key. You are required to enter one at the time you enable WEP. It may have entered some random characters in for you. Just log back into the management page and reset or disable it. You'll need to use a LAN cable plugged into the back of the router.
