I have decided to switch form AOL to O2 broadband.

When I get the O2 wireless box I will want to make some changes such as the network name and set it up from WEP to WPA. I have 3 computers / laptops set up already to that name and WPA pre-shared key so the idea is that once I have set the router to the same name and WPA key the computers and laptops should connect wirelessly without having to make any changes to them.

To make the changes I would like to read the user manual for the O2 wireless box so does anybody know where I can download one?
Regards

    Should come with them, just type the routers IP address in your browser.
    ofcourse will be stamped on it when you get it.

    I don't think you do get a user manual with the router but perhaps any O2 users could confirm this.

    Don't know where to get a manual, but this is how you change the SSID and encryption:

    Go to http://o2wirelessbox.lan in your browser. This takes you to the wireless box configuration scree. Choose Home Network from the menu on the left and then click on Interfaces and then WLAN at the bottom of the tree. At the top right of the next screen you will see Configure. Click on that and the usual router set-up screen will appear, where you can change the settings.

    I had to go to O2 Customer Services for this, but as it's a free 24/7 call, I would use them rather than waste time looking for manuals. They seem to know what they are talking about.
