    Hi there,

    I have had wireless broadband setup in my house for some time and it was working fine. I tried setting up security on the router yesterday for the first time and I've messed it up. I went into the router interface (192.168.0.1) and I enabled WEP (i also clicked another thing which I can't recall at the moment!) thinking this would ask me to come up with some password etc., when i pressed apply in said that I had applied WEP successfully etc. At this point, the network stopped working. i tried going to 192.168.0.1 again but the page wouldn't load. When I viewed the available wireless networks, I can see the network but I can't connect because it asks me for a password etc. I tried resetting the router but it still asks for the password when I try to connect. I have no idea what to do now! When I connect my laptop directly to the broadband router it works fine, just not when I try to connect through wireless.

    Please Help!

    Can you access the router page when you are connected over lan?
    this should be the case. alot of routers dont like you changing settings unless you are directly linked to the router.

    To be honest I didn't try that because I didn't have a LAN cable. But I never had a problem changing the settings over Wireless before. I will get my hands on a cable this evening and try it.

    Thanks for your help
