I am trying to help my daughter set up her Netgear router on a Dell
Inspiron Windows XP computer which has a D-Link wireless adapter
fitted from a previous set up.

I am informed by Netgear that I cannot enable WPA security unless I
fit a Netgear wireless adapter. I am getting a bit out of my depth
here and wonder if someone can advise me.

Thank you.

That can't be right, WPA isn't vendor specific, although a very old adapter
might not support it.
Netgear do support there own preparatory 108 Mb/s protocol which
presumably needs Netgear devices at both ends.

Please post model numbers of the router and adapter.
