I tried Devices and Printers, but this is clearly not the equivalent of the System Devices and Properties tab in older versions of Windows - all it would tell me was that it's a Packard Bell notebook.

<annoyed>Um, I already know that, you condescending piece of...</annoyed>

Is it just me, or is Windows taking even more control away from the user? Aren't there too many layers of abstraction already?!

Ooh, I miss the old days, when you knew exactly what was going on and you could tweak it to make it work better!
Sky has two Sagem routers:

The older Sky V2 Sagem F@ST2504 (black) and the newer (Wireless N) Sky Sagem F@ST2504n (black/silver).

The Wireless N router definitely supports WPA2, as I'm using it with that right now.

I'm not sure about the previous Sagem, but I would have thought that it did support it. AFAIK, only the older Netgear routers didn't have WPA2.

Log in to the router via http://192.168.0.1 (default username is "admin", default password is "sky" - CHANGE THESE!). Under "Setup > Wireless Settings" it will show the available "Security Options". If WPA2-PSK is supported, it will be listed there along with WEP and WPA-PSK.
