Re: wireless issues

Do you know how to access the web based setup of the router? It's in the wireless configuration section.

Re: wireless issues

Hold the Windows key and press R, then type CMD to open a command prompt:

Type IPCONFIG

The address of the Default Gateway is the router's base address.

Re: wireless issues

Now that you have the wireless working, you should be able to re-enable encryption and get it working. Use WPA if possible, much more secure than WEP. If you use WEP, use ONLY the hex key, not the passphrase option.
