WiFi terminology has been inherited from the standards side with no attempt to make it more accessible ...
Diagnosis at a distance is difficult but here goes... 1. If your internet access has been upgraded this should have no affect on your WiFi set up. WiFi is purely internal to your network so unless they changed the settings on your wireless base-station (or router, or access point, or whatever you are used to calling it) nothing should have changed. So, the first question is: what exactly did they "upgrade". Did they mess around with your WiFi wireless settings? 2. WEP is an old deprecated standard. No one who knew what they were doing would "upgrade" to this. The current domestic standard is WPA, normally (in the UK at least) WPA with TKIP or WPA2. If you have been given a password that is not a hexadecimal number (using the characters 0 - 9 and A -F [or a - f] only) - in other words just a normal password then you have a WPA set up. If you can check on or confirm the above that will help with what we suggest next. -- dBerriff iMac/SqueezeCenter, SB3, Boom, AVI ADM9.1 active speakers ------------------------------------------------------------------------ dBerriff's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=12247 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=67543 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
