You want the WPA-PSK one, then put in your desired password

Its still not working, ive changed it to that one, put in the password, clicked connect put in the password twice and it just says trying to connect you grrrrrr

ive still got the ethernet cable in though, should it be unplugged now?

Did you save the long random passphrase to a file?

Did you copy & paste the passphrase into the router and click Apply to save it?

Did you disconnect the Ethernet cable before trying to connect using wireless?

Did you copy & paste the passphrase when prompted?

It's quite easy if you follow the steps which are in the Netgear User Manual.

If you want to use wireless then yup unplug the ethernet cable (they cant be connected at the same time) and reconnect to the wireless with the new password you put in for the WPA-PSK

You've just re-worded posts 18 and 25!

Do you need me to re-word it for you? Dumb it down a bit?

Sorry you are loseing yout patience,

yes i saved the long passphrase, and clicked apply, i have now disonnected the ethernet cable, it said you cant copy and paste a passphrase but i retyped it correctly.

Jaffa.

Try right clicking on the wireless icon in the bottom right of the screen where the clock is and click repair

You did the second time - obviously it never occured to you the first time.

Dumb it down for yourself if you want - you're the one looking dumb.
