I can't find a good discusion of this but IMS it is a WEP router and a WPA router are both connected through a third router. You need to to have the WEP router hooked up so it is not accessing the the rest of the network. The third router should be WPA but I think it can be wired if it has a way to segregate the WEP from the rest of the network. The other option I found is a wired connection between the TiVO and a WPA access point. I avoid these problems by keeping my network wired. -- John Duncan Yoyo -------------------------------o) ************************************************************************* ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *************************************************************************
