I would think the sequence should be 2, 1, 4, 5....etc. 3 is sort of redundant once you've done 1. But, doing 1 first is rather pointless, isn't it, if you're booting into the presence of a still-secured by WPA router? I say kill the security on your network before you even fire up the A/E for the first time. Any other opinions? Just my 2cents. mike [/QUOTE]
