Huff, Derek, I don't know what I am doing wrong because I do not succeed in connecting to Internet. My encryption key is a ten digit number, so I wrote in the corresponding fields as: s:xxxxxxxxxx. The modem-router assigns the directions IP, so I never unchecked the DHCP box. I also know my ESSID: 2wire806. I suppose here I do not have to be careful with capitals or lower case letters. I will try in a moment to write an IP address from the pool in the router, and see if I can connect. I think I followed your instructions carefully. Maybe I am doing something silly.
