Hi,

I have my wife hooked up to my netgear router via a netgear wireless hub.

Its not secure and i would like to make it so.

Can anyone point me to some instructions?

thanks
Vrooooooooooom........oh wait. Whats happened?

Myst

Unless i'm missing something obvious go to http://192.168.0.1/start.htm then midway down you will see your security options, select whats best
i.e either
WPA-PSK (Wi-Fi Protected Access Pre-Shared Key)
WPA2-PSK (Wi-Fi Protected Access 2 with Pre-Shared Key)

add a pass phrase (password) then when the wife attempts to join the network it will ask for the pass, add it and away you go
Growing old is compulsory, Growing up is optional

Or for more detailed instructions, go the the FAQ in the help board. :)
