Hi,

I know how to change the key on the router, but how do I change it on
the pc and on a laptop that connects to the router?

Thanks

Settings are either in Windows WZC (Wireless Zero Configuration) or software
to manage your wireless connection.

Hi
The best way is to log to the Wireless preferred list and clean it up (to
avoid future conflict).
Remove the entries for your Wireless connections.
Win XP, http://www.ezlan.net/wireless/wzc3.jpg
Vista/Win 7, http://www.ezlan.net/vista/wireless_manager.jpg
Then when you try to logon again to your Router's SSID, it will prompt you
for the new pass phrase.

I think that I have found the right place to change the key on the pc,
once the router key has been changed.

Under Vista:

Control Panel - Network sharing centre - Manage Wireless networks

Click on networking properties
Under Security
Network Security key - I type in new key here.

Is this the correct procedure?

Thanks

I have just been looking at the Wireless PCI card adapter properties.

I see under Driver Key a very different value from the WPA key.

I understand the need for the WPA key, but why does the driver have a
key, and how is it used?

Thanks
