o2 Wireless problem

joncarpet

Hi
I was trying to be clever last night (bad sign already, i know!) and tried to rename my generic o2 wireless connection on the o2wirelessbox.lan settings page. I changed the name, clicked apply and the connection died instantly.
i tried reconnecting and was prompted for WEP key.
It wouldnt accept this and kept timing out.
I tried creating another network connection but to no avail.
any ideas please?

Cheers

rename it back to what it was originally. If that doesnt work does the Router have a master reset button where it takes it back to its factory Defaults. If so do that.

A system restore wont fix his actual router. Correct me if im wrong but if I read the Original post correctly he had accessed the router (i assume via a browser) and gave the connection on it another name.
