From: malibu1164 on 2 Feb 2010 00:26 Trusty old MN_700 802.11 b/g wireless router is working fine with my 3 WinXP laptops but without any encryption. I will now like to add WEP or WPA or WPA2 encryption. Can I do this without resetting and starting from scratch? Or should I remove everything and start fresh? The router is connected to a cable-modem and (assuming) a non-static IP. Cable company won't help as they want me to rent a router from them.

This is too old to support WPA2, but you should be able to configure WPA using the "Base Station Management Tool." http://download.microsoft.com/download/b/6/9/b69c956c-85d9-4641-aa6f-1548391e0967/mn700_base_station_configuration_guide.pdf http://download.microsoft.com/download/b/6/9/b69c956c-85d9-4641-aa6f-1548391e0967/mn700_usersguide.pdf -- Lem Apollo 11 - 40 years ago: http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/apollo/40th/index.html

I'm using the MN700 now with WPA encryption. No issues. Just go into the config and change the encryption to WPA. -Frank "malibu1164" <malibu1164(a)discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:D3E4C394-6B83-45ED-9820-98B73F3A7EDD(a)microsoft.com... > > Trusty old MN_700 802.11 b/g wireless router is working fine with my 3 > WinXP > laptops but without any encryption. > I will now like to add WEP or WPA or WPA2 encryption.
