I've just set up a wireless connection. Can you tell me how to do this?
NOTE, once you enter key on router, you'll loose connectity via wireless until you enter same key on laptop/pc

you'll still be able to log on router/ go on net via ethernet port


log on to router

go to wireless security

enable 128bit web enter a 26 letter/number password in say key 1

enter the same detail on your laptop/pc

it should reconnect
Don't use WEP, it can be broken easily. If your router supports it and your running XP SP2, use WPA with PSK. Its a lot more secure.

agreed, but wep is in on every device so is a good start

to run wpa psk on xp you need the patch
