I keep getting a message up that the information I am sending is not encrpted and and be seen by others. I am using the above router and have checked the hide wireless network box. Should I be doing something else.

Thanking you

Has your wireless connetion been setup encrpted using either WPA or WEP? If not, your on an "open system" where anyone can use your wireless connection, thus stealing your broadband.

No it has not been set up that way. How do I do that please?

If you look about 3/4 down on this page: http://www.thinkbroadband.com/hardware/reviews/2005/q1/voyager2100.html it will give you an idea.

You need to log into your router page: 192.168.1.1 then type "admin" for both the username and password. This then lets you into your router. If you then go to "configuration" and "wireless" this si where you can set up wireless encryption.

I found this on the 2100 home page but dont know what the last sentence means

After enabling security and clicking Apply, you will lose the connection with your Voyager 2100. You should now set-up security on your wireless adapters in order to re-establish the connection.

Are you sure the message you are getting is not from IE?

Does sound like the standard alert for switching between secure and insecure sites. Your browser wouldn't know what encryption is set on the router.

To tell if you network is secure, look at this screen

Does it say security enabled network (WPA)?

Goitster

Not exactly been here before.

The wireless network is not secure, so the box tells me

Then secure it, it's easy enough if you follow the user manual instructions.
