Hello people
I now have 3 strands of hair left after trying to sort out the wireless network at home.
Router: Netgear MR814 v3
Laptop adaptor: Intel PRO/wireless 2200BG Network Connection
I was sitting pretty doing bits and bobs and the wife brought home her laptop from work, and she says to me, "the net isn't working through wireless."
So I set it up (as I didn't need to before as I have Ethernet, which plugged straight into the cable box) and it worked fine on my PC and on hers without WEP.
We need WEP as I'm in London and it's very urban with lots of people around trying to steal some bandwidth! So, I thought it would be good to set it up. No joy at all.
The laptop sees the router, and it doesn't connect. The router window looks like this:
Security Options
Disable
WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy)
WPA-PSK (Wi-Fi Protected Access Pre-Shared Key)
Security Encryption (WEP)
Authentication Type: AutomaticOpen SystemShared Key
Encryption Strength: Disable64bit128bit
Security Encryption (WEP) Key
Passphrase:
Key 1: LONG LONG CHARACTERS
Key 2: LONG LONG CHARACTERS
Key 3: LONG LONG CHARACTERS
Key 4: LONG LONG CHARACTERS
I have it set to 128bit and I setup the passphrase. I assume you type in the Key1 into the pass for the laptop? No luck.
I really want to learn about this technology, so please can you help me? I will then pass the knowledge on to others!
