setup wrt54gs using cd as instructed. went thru all the screens. setup
wpa-psk aes. It was an option si I assume I can. anyway, i cannot access the
router? The user name is blank for defaults and pw is admin of course. I
changed the pw during setup with the cd. But i do not recall a user name? I
tried blank and my password, but no good? Should I start all over? I am sure
the pw is correct, i made it simple to start with.
Thanks
Frank

Sorry, I got it now, but still do not know about a user name. I am now
checking over the router settings with IE. Hope I find a spot for user
name?

Just wondering...did you use any strange characters in the password
"@#*%(..."?

I've found that it will accept them, but not let you put the password back
in again. If so, you'll need to do a hard reset, and start over.

Thanks Matt, I did and I guess that was it. I reset it and started all over
again. Things are fine now. Tomorrow I will introduce my dell 8100 laptop
(wpc54gs card) to my network. IO have much to learn about the security and
such, But I will, and hopefully you guys will be kind enough to help when I
need it. I am happy that I can use wpa with aes. Nice if it was wpa2,
but..........
Thanks again,
Frank L

Before implementing AES make sure that all your clients support it as well.

If You're using win xp with all current patches and SP's you're lucky as
win xp can do wpa(2) with aes in software...
