    The WEP key is printed on the side of the 02 router. If he managed to see it without you noticing, he could have entered the password without you knowing?

    i don't understand how one device will see the network encrypted, and another device will see it unencrypted...


    My mums on the phone to o2 now as we're unsure about our box. Just conected about half hour ago - mum (Mac) sees it as unencrypted and I (Vista) see it as encrypted!

    ETA: I have a Nokia N95 8GB and have just tried to connect to the wireless - it asked for a password then too.
