Hello
I have a Netgear router at my desktop and a Netgear card in my lap top. All is running well. I wish to change my passphrase and Netgear support is difficult to access and quite vague. In the section that says security options I have my passphrase which is x amount of digits. I don't know how much I should divulge on the web so am beginning the thread with care. There are many choices like WEP, WPA, WPA-PSK [TKIP], WAP.....etc If I want to change this passphrase, will I need to know how to make other changes in the router and or card so they will communicate. All runs well now but I think changing passwords now and then is a good idea. Thank you |
