Instead of WPA encryption use wep ecnryption. It will give you a choice of 1-4 links that you want. If this does not work. Press the reset button and try again.

you could do it that way I guess, but the easiest way that I could think of is by getting on the hardwired computer that is directly connected to the router to get on the internet, once on the internet, in the address bar, type in this: "192.168.1.2". And if it gives you an login page, both the user name and password are both blank, unless changed other wise. The on the left-hand side, go to advance settings, then click on "expert". Once there, go to security, should see a passphrase and generate key, channel numbers. You then type in your passphrase, and should be a generate button, and that is your network key, depending on the coordinate charts.

Hi

That's not a lot of info to go on, but let's try: first, you've got to set the router up for the WPA encryption and put the passphrase in there. You have to do that set-up while you're connected by wire to the router otherwise you'd lose the wifi connection half way through the process. Once the router is set up, do the matching thing on your computer, switch on wifi, and disconnect the cable from your computer to the router. Get back if that's what you'd already done and let us know what stages worked and at what point it fails.
