Re: [CGUYS] router/accesspoint

We were on the remote help with the verizon tech where he controls the
computer while on the fone with us and he couldn't get it to work with wap
so he put it back to wep ...since there's a firewall in the router, is wep
enuf?

I have the same router and while I didn't try and set up the wireless (I
disabled it, actually), since I already have a nice wireless AP already, it
provided the option to use WPA or WPA2.  What exactly is the trouble you are
having?

BTW, it seems that WPA/TKIP has been cracked, sorta.  WPA2/AES is not.

Re: [CGUYS] router/accesspoint

You have to reconfigure the router to use wpa.  Look at




Follow the first part of the article directions for accessing the router
configuration interface.  Note that under the usual settings, you have
to be directly plugged into the router by ethernet cable in order to
access the router interface.  If neither of the usual passwords work,
reset the router (hold down the reset button on the back for a
while), then the default login will work.

Once you've gotten into the router interface, it is fairly easy to  
find the

page for the security settings and change them to your liking.  Do not
follow the rest of the directions in the above link on how to turn the
router into a bridge.

If you screw things up, resetting the router will take you back to the
original security settings and the default password.


my sister has fios and now has an IBMT23Win2000 for which we got a  
netgear
wg511t pc card accesspoint which lets her fileshare and internet  
share via
an actiontec mi424wr gateway router supplied by verizon ...however,  
I am
having misery trying to help her to set up wpa as it will only run  
with wep

so far ...any advice?
