You need to go into the advanced settings of the router. Under LAN config there should be a tab for DHCP server. There will be a section to "Add Client Information". For each device you want to connect the network, you need to add the MAC address of the network card in that device. You will also need to enter the IP address that you want to assign to it. Do this for each wireless device you want to connect to the network. At the top of the page will be the available IP address range.
On the client (PC) end of the connection, Windows should take you through what information it needs (at least it did for me).
To find out the MAC address of the network card in a PC, open the command prompt and enter IPCONFIG/ ALL. The MAC address is listed under Physical Address.
Hope this helps

Thanks for this, will try it over the wkend. Is there another way to find the Mac address of the wireless adapter, last time i tried using IPCONFIG in run, the window opened and closed, think the computer might need a re-install, but thats another story
I've managed to swap some automatically given IP addresses to manual in the DHCP section, thanks for the help. I'd already done this a few wks ago for my PS3. Come to think of it, I should be able to get the mac address for the wireless adapter from this menu, i'll just change the IP addy from auto to manual, that should then make it static. Does this sound right.
I'll get shut of the AOSS when it next goes crazy and do a manual setup. Am I better sticking with the AES security or should I use another? And is there any other settings I should be aware of?
Thks again
