I am trying to connect my new HP laptop to my existing BT1800HG network. It can see it but tells me it is incorrectly configured.

Being a bit of a technophobe I don't know what to do next.

Can anyone help?

Hi,

Have you tried inputting the necessary security code to your HP laptop? Most if not all BT1800HG wireless router modem comes pre-configured to use a certain WEP code.

In your HP laptop go through the WiFi configuration/Setup. Select option to use WEP security, type in required code normally found on the bottom of the BT1800HG. The numbers and/or characters below the bar code is the WEP code.

Hope this be of some help/idea. Post back how things turned up or should you need additional information.

Good luck and kind regards.
