Trying to get online.

agentjayd007 · 06-26-2009, 07:41 PM

Trying to get online with my Workbook Pro with OSX and I finally was able to get into my netgear settings to be able to get online. My Workbook is asking for a code of some sort, Its asking WPA, but when I went into my settings it was set on WPA-PSK [TKIP] and the passphrase is censored out...how do I make it show up?

You can't. The reason why it is censored out is bcuz it is after all a password

Or you can try switching back to WEP then switch it back to PSK WPA and you should be able to create new WPA key.

You can simply enter a new key over the existing key, no need to switch it to anything.
