Thinking of setting up WIFI

[Footbacon]

But I haven't a clue as to how I go about it.

I've got an FJ1S laptop. What do I need to buy to set everything up?

I bought a Netgear one today. Had a bit of trouble setting it up at first but figured it out.

It's fantastic! :smileygrin:

hope your enjoying your wireless freedom..:smileygrin:

Cheers! :smileygrin:

Just need the weather to pick up so that I can sit with it in the garden.

I've got another question. (I'm surprised there haven't been more actually!)

This is the one I got: http://www.netgear.com/Products/RoutersandGateways/GWirelessRouters/DG834G.aspx?detail=Specification...

When I've connected to the net, it says that it's an unsecured network. How do I secure it? Is a step-by-step guide too much to ask?

It's not.:smileycool:

Use this password generator.
http://www.winguides.com/security/password.php
Creat a password with 63 characters, Letters, Mixed Case, Numbers, Punctation.

copy and paste it into a text file.

Go in your Router settings and enable WPA in your wlan settings. Use your new password.

After doing that you will disconnected from wlan. Windows will popup with a new Window. Just for saying there is a WPA secured wlan nearby. Doubleclick the wlan icon in taskbar. Doubleclick your wlan connection and paste the password if it ask. Take a look in your Routers manuel if you need further information. Or just ask and may we do it for you.:smileyhappy:

Hi Footbacon,

You may find this Netgear link on security of interest.

Also if you have difficulties configuring wireless security on your DG834G, chapters 3 & 4 of the manual may offer some guidance or if you need further assistance let us know..:smileyhappy:
