You don't mention the model, does your wireless router support either WPA or WPA2 security?

Here are my wireless security guidelines...

As noted by our friend Cudni read your wireless router manual and/or visit the manufacturers support pages for specific help with your device.

Good luck...

There is probably a choice between RADIUS and using a pre-shared key (might have "PSK" as part of the method name). For home use, choose the pre-shared key.

You will need to then come up with a random key, which should be 20 or more characters long. You will need to enter the same key into the systems that connect to the wireless network.

If everything on the home network supports WPA2, use that. Otherwise use WPA.
