Ah just reread dis. If you can hook up to the router with wires, then that mean you just have to match the wireless security settings. Also assuming that the laptop capable of using the wireless security settings of the router.

Yeah, but it not always correct because what the laptop show, may not be what the router is using, or vice versa. (I know this from spending many hours scratching mi chin too!) Here is what I would do. First figure what is the highest security the router can handle. Once we know that, then check each laptop to see if it can support that security. If not, then we have to step down to next available security.

So step one. Go into the router, and look under section wireless. It should normally tell you what type of security it using. If it doesn't, then I usually turn off all the <u>wireless</u> security to the router, reboot it and then verify that the laptop can connect via wireless with no security. Once I do that, then I add the security to the router first, then to the laptop, rebooting each in sequence. Never had any issues doing it that way.

Don't mek a difference unless them went from dsl to cable. The security fi di wireless still not going to change. The only thing going change going from isp to isp is the connectivity section of the setup. [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/smile.gif[/img]
