Sorry if I shouldn't be starting a new thread - I don't want to hi-jack someone else's thread although there's a few discussing wireless....
I'd be very glad of some help please - I'm a mac-newbie (and wireless newbie!).
I'm using Mac Book Pro and just gone wireless ok - but am concerned about the security issues.
My firewall is on, on the mac, and all the permissions for other users are off.
On the router I've changed the login password, switched to WPA/PSK option, and created a password for that.
There are other options though that I do not understand underneath the above settings such as switching on the encryption and that is followed by a list of 4 possible keys....(currently all set at 0).
What is the difference between WPA/PSK and the encryption?
The manual with the router does not explain clearly and I am concerned about shutting myself out of the router!!
(it's a Cable & Wireless router.........)
Thank you!
