new laptop

Post by ace_caz »

Hi,

i want to set up my laptop with wireless security I have completed the following but lost internet access.
What am I doing wrong and what should I be doing...

To implement wireless security: Common encryption methods are:

WEP - poor (see note below)
WPA (sometimes called PSK) - good
WPA2 (sometimes called PSK2) - best - this is what I choose

WPA and WPA2 sometimes come in versions of "personal" and "enterprise". Most home users should use "personal". - this is what I choose

Also, the choice between AES and TKIP, and your wireless equipment is capable of both - AES - this is what I choose

With any encryption method, you will need to supply a key (sometimes called a "password" ) - I created a password

AND Then I had no internet connection..

ps. I love this site.

many thanks

Caz.
