I'm attempting to set up wife's laptop to my existing [wired ] broadband connection.
Existing connection has iinet BELKIN modem/router & has been working for a couple of years.
Last month bought a wireless router. Netgear RT-N10
My son setup the wireless router as an 'access point' with an
access code [ or whatever you call it ] for security.
after some farting around, M$ knowledge base articles etc re wireless zero
connection, the laptop show's the following in "wireless network connection"
----------------------------------------------------------------
Ian's ASUS AUtomatic
security enabled wireless network (WPA2)
---------------------------------------------------
linksys
security enabled wireless network (WPA)
---------------------------------------------------
When i try to connect to "connect" to either network the connection doesn't work.
Any suggestions?
event viewers?
network utilities ?

P.S. i've been playing with mainframe computers since 1963
& pc's etc since 1970's- 1980's.
But thesedays mostly i leave the techo stuff to son Adam,
but he ( & Anita ) have three month old twins and get a bit busy<grin>

Linksys is probably a neighbors wifi.
When trying to connect to yours, you must enter the passphrase verbatim, case sensitive.
_______________________________________________________________________
logged into router on wired pc. at 10.1.1.3
access code is definitely lower case [ as written down by Adam].
There are a couple of other parameters
"Authentication Method" = WPA2-Personal
"WPA Encryption" = AES
"WPA Pre shared key" = [adam's lower case key]
"WEP Encryption" = none
"Key Index" = 2
"WEP Key 1" = [blank]
ditto 2,3,4 all blank
"ASUS Passphrase" = [blank]

Maybe we have misread one of these keys.
On the laptop i did try to set [windows xp]
TCP/IP values 10.1.1.3
& dns as 10.1.1.1 [ dsl broadband modem]
