Default OT Wi-Fi

Hi, got a belkin wireless router which sometimes has a mind of it`s own.
but this web page might help you out
http://www.microsoft.com/athome/more...lesssetup.mspx

But what would say when going wireless you do have to make sure that you
take all security measures possible. I no from personal experience, i
just got the router up and running, just went to get a coffee before
making sure i checked all the right boxs on the setup page. But some
cheeky bug@er got on to the system and locked me out. Another problem
was that some pcs in the house had to be repositioned to get the best
signal, one pc in my son`s bedroom had to be moved from one side of the
room to the opposite to get a good signal.

before i forget you might need to upgrade the routers firmware.

another thing you might want to look into is WEP but somehow config of
my wireless network was wrong. The box was checked for "use IEEE 802.1x
authentication for this network" and this was causing the network to
drop out momentarily

hope this helps,
