I’ve actually done that in the past. I guess I didn’t see the reason to this time. Thanks though.

Why not trying restrict access by MAC ADDRESS (sorry if this is too advanced) but at the end you wouldnt have to setup a WEP2 password. Only those clients (computers) that match the MAC Address on your list will be allowed to connect.

my theory is… [if you have a password, people can try to brute force into it (or try to break the password)… if there is no password there is nothing to try…

Truth be told, I didn’t know the difference. And no, I’ve NEVER taken anything to Geek Squad. I’d rather vomit blood out of my eyes.

Why wouldn’t you use WPA2 from the begining? It’s easier to setup, and easier to get new computers online with the simple passwords you can create as opposed to the 16-24 character jumbled mess they give you otherwise.

BTW…PLEASE tell me you didn’t have to call Geek Squad to setup your router. You must be better than THAT…

Good to hear! How is everything going down there? When you heading back to the operating forces? Is SSgt Lilly heading up here soon? I heard hes hitting up Staff Academy sometime this month.

The default was WPA2, and it configured with no problems before Win7.

And I’ve never used Geek Squad, so cut me some slack.
