Hello,
I can see the key on the router end is being creates in HEX, I am typing
it in on the laptop as HEX as well. Not sure if there is anything special
that I need to do, I don't see why. I hope this is OK, but I have copied
what I have been looking at and the options I have to select from.
Wireless Settings
Wireless Network
Name (SSID):
Region: --- Select
Region ---AfricaAsiaAustraliaCanadaEuropeFranceIsraelJapanMexicoSouth
AmericaUnited States
Channel: 0102030405060708091011
Mode: b onlyg onlyg and b108Mbps onlyAuto 108Mbps
--> Channel is really set to 11 & Mode to G & B
Security Options
Disable
WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy)
WPA-PSK (Wi-Fi Protected Access Pre-Shared Key)
--> Not sure what WPA-PSK should be used for, I used WEP.
Security Encryption (WEP)
Authentication Type: AutomaticOpen SystemShared Key
--> Open System & Shred Key are the other 2 options under
Authentication Type
Encryption Strength: 64bit128bit152bit
--> 64 bit, 128 & 154bit are the options
Security Encryption (WEP) Key
Passphrase:
Key 1:
Key 2:
Key 3:
Key 4:
--> I enter any alpha numeric characters under the passphrase field,
click on Generate and it creates 4 diff keys, I select one and that is the
key that I enter on the laptop end.
what else is there? I can't see why this shouldn't work.
Any further suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
