Go to your searchbar and type "Making a wireless connection secure", or
"Secure your wireless connection" or anything else similar. You will have an
abundance of results.

Have a nice day.

much of the security is configured on the wireless router. The whole idea is
to use encryption to encrypt the data sent between the computer and the
wireless access point. Recomended will be WPA2. For more information on how
to configure your wireless AP/Router, you will need to consult the product
manual or contact the vendor.

Hi,

I have vista basic on my HP Compaq laptop, Broadcom 802.11 b/g wlan and
Realtek Ethernet network card. I have Linksys WRT54GC router with WEP 128
security enabled but cannot establish a WPA or WPA2 security. My wireless
network wizard fails to connect with WPA or WPA2 and says I may need to try
with different password. I have used 8 and 26 character alphanumeric
passwords for WPA without success. I have updated the drivers under Device
Manager.

I don't know what need to be changed in the advanced settings under
properties. I am in touch my customer care of HP and Linksys but so far had
no success with WPA settings.

Any idea what can be done?

Thanks
Debanjan
