Very helpful, thanks.
I just want to be sure. I was able to do apply WPA – PSK. My question is my whenever I open my laptop, it automatically connects to the wireless network. Isn’t it that it should ask my network key first every time I open it? Or does my laptop remember the first time I entered my passphrase?
Thanks. Hope you can answer me.
The passphrase is remembered so you don’t have to worry about entering it each and every time.
Hmm can you explain me for this please: http://img517.imageshack.us/my.php?image=routerph5.jpg
Its quite different from what you said
P.S. My email is dedi4you@yahoo.com
Thank you for replying. Now one more question if you don’t mind. There is no log out button in my router’s web page, 192.168.something. I just close the page, that’s it and I’m logged out?
You can simply close the browser.
Thank you. You have been very helpful to me.
I have the same problem as Star who posted on November 19.

I can’t find anything after step 11.
What are the options in the “Security” dropdown list?
Thank you VERY much !!! your detailed instructions did the trick ! i must admit that i had spent hours searching and following other techs suggestions but once i stumpled across yours, it was a breeze. once again, thank you ! cheers ! … Joseph
thanks for the info on the D Link router, i am curious however as to teh pros/cons of using TKIP opposed to AES encyrption, also in my installation I have two wired PC (Cat5) and then a wireless link to a laptop, I also have a Cat 5 link running from the D-link to another wireless router to act as a “repeater” for being out in the garden (come summer) I am damned if I can get XP pro to let all computers have a file/printer share and shared drives, half the time I can’t get the PCs to see eachother, and even when they can I can’t access shared drives or print.
Any suggests most appreciated.
