Hi,

WinXP Home SP2 updated.

I'm hoping someone can assist me in finding the solution to this problem. I have a new (to me) laptop a Feujitsu-Siemens Amilo M704, it has wireless capability and has no problem detecting my Linksys WRT54G router.

Unfortunately, my laptop cannot communicate with my router. The router uses WPA\PKIP encryption. Whilst the laptop uses WEP.

Does anyone know how to get the laptop to use the same level of encryption that the router does? Specifically WPA.

Thank you.
