Re: Wireless encryption help
yeah cuz your probably setting it all up wirelessly., if you wanna do the easy 1 then use WPA-PSK with TKIP as technique.
thats easy and hard to crack

Re: Wireless encryption help
If you have got a network cable set it up wirelessly that way.
I did\with no problems, use the IP address for the router/ wireless access point

Re: Wireless encryption help
Just altered ours from WEP to WPA-PSK. As easy as entering a pass phrase on the router then reconnecting to the WLAN.
I do use a RJ45 when I'm configuring the router though.

Re: Wireless encryption help
