[QUOTE="ImageExtensions, post: 776693, member: 44872"] I have just successfully set up my wireless. Happily I apparently already had a wireless router and I didn't know it. :D Anyway here is my setup. PowerBook G4 with Airport I have it hooked up with a Linksys 2.4GHz Wireless-B Broadband Router model BEFW11S4 and a Netopia DSL modem with Earthlink. So I found this card provided by Earthlink for the wireless setup. I followed their instructions (which said NOT to use the Linksys disc) and got to the wireless security part. The card is several years old and said to choose WEP. Instead, I chose WPA and entered a very secure passcode. So here are my questions 1. How do I verify that my security is set up correctly and is working? 2. When I turn on the computer, it automatically finds the network. Should I set it to ask for a passcode first and if yes, how do I do that? Thanks. [/QUOTE]
