Hi All
I'm a newby, glad to join you.
Just bought a new AW-NR 580 from maplin, wired up and plugged it into my vista pc, its running through a talktalk modem, and it works a treat, just took my medion laptop down the garden, works great, just got to do the security bit now, any advice would be appreciated as even after background research, not used to the terms [tywanesse, oops, defeats me late at night], does anyone know what WPS [wi-fi protected setup] is? as does not, when enabled seem to protect pc/network, also the WPS button on router seems redundant, the manual says "reserved for advanced functions".
Any help appreciated

Hi this is the link to the user manual and if you look at page 22 of the manual it will tell you all about it:

Hi---many thanks, yup got manual, but does not tell u what WPS button on the router can do.
Have now got security WPA2-PSK enabled, which I believe is the best for home n/wrk, although I was thrown by pass phrase not accepting a " for some reason, then it required user name & p/word to connect niether router or isp's would it accept so re-booted router and no problem, but I just wondered why.
Just going load the toolbox, which gives bandwidth [QoS] control, and allows easy setup adjustments (I hope). It seems to be A very good router with excelent range, aa-and an excelent price for an N at just under £30. again thanks

WPS is just a secure way of setting up your wireless network if you are not so good at doing it manually thats all. In other words wireless setup for dummies lol

Hi Smee
Sorry for delay, been playing, well swearing a bit hear and there.
Thanks for reply, sussed most of the network out no problem, but, oh yes, a but, u allways have to have one!
Attempting to get my workshop computer, with XP on[main computer using vista], to link up using an Azurewave AW-NU221 usb adapter, it identifies the network, but wont join it, done all that manual says, no joy so far, after imputting security code of 17 digits, it flips and comes up with about 7 asterix's, as if it wont accept 17 digits.
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
