access to the net via my wireless router
 

hi

have just set up a netgear wgt624 wireless router and my daughter was able to to connect until I changed the security from none to wpa-psk. Have I done something wrong?

Thanks

You need to configure your daugher's computer with the WPA-PSK password.

well done on adding security - now you know it works! You will probably have to log into the router and all your daughter's machine to access the router - probably in advanced - wireless settings. It will want to know the pc's mac address.

I've given my daughter the password but she still can't connect. I can't get in to the router via my daughters wi fi as we can't connect to the internet.

Any other ideas - simple instructions please I'm new to the networking thing

Thanks

What happens when you point the other PC at the login address? (Make sure the PC browser isn't set to use a proxy).

How thick am I - I'd clicked on enable access control and left it blank. Have now taken off access control and said daughter is happily connected. Just one other thing which security is best WPA-PSK or WPA-PSK2 (TKIP or AES)

Thanks:dunce:

I'm guessing WPA-PSK2 is better but I haven't used either... I still use WEP... :shocking:
