I've just upgraded from wired(befSR41) to wireless(wrt54G)
Got it all working wired & wireless except I can't get the wireless security stuff working
On Router
Entered a new SSID
I've selected WEP,
left default Transmit key at 1
WEP encrypt set to 64 bit
Entered a passphrase, pressed generate key, get 5 hex pairs in each key
save that on router
on XP notebook
Wireless network is detected- shows as "security enabled wirelss network"
using Wireless Network setup wizard as follows
select "set up a new wireless network"
enter SSID same as on router
checked "Manually assign a network key"
when asked to enter WEP key I enter the 5 Hex pairs from Key 1 on the router screen
Finish the wizard but it wont connect (although its set to automatic connect) - still says requires a network key
Only set up one other wireless network and thats all I had to do before
note : I know 64 bit WEP may not be ideal but lets walk before we can run
Any suggestion would be welcome
TIA
