    From your screenshot, wep security is enabled.., you just need to tell your PC what the key is.

    if it supports wpa, from the dropdown wep box, that is better.
    Ever get the feeling you are wasting your time? :rolleyes:
  • Hmm... the options are as follows :
    WEP2.jpg
    I tried to find a WEP code (as I can't have WAP) but I typed in one off the Internet then typed in the code in the wireless network connection but it didn't log in properly, I think as the codes are wrong somehow..? Any ideas?

    Perhaps if you could direct me to the correct website for the 128bit code, why is there 4 keys on the router page?

    your hex key is the one beginning with 63 (forget the 0x), and make sure 128 bit wep is set to the encryption type on the pc, post a pic of the PC screen you are using if it doesn't work

    Can you count to 26?:D

    Yes, copy and paste the same 26 characters made up of 0123456789ABCDEF into the windows network key dialogue.

    e.g. [FONT=courier new,courier]

    D721BB2F2C8A70CA50A5BAA03D
    E666176321C02E59FEE25BA9C6
    B37089C7B5AB
    [/FONT][FONT=courier new,courier]6176321C02E5C3

    if that doesn't work, try 13 alphanumeric instead.

    [/FONT]
