Hi All

I have set up a Wi-Fi network Using a Linksys WRT54GL router. I am having
problems with connecting after I have set the WEP security on the router's
page.

I typed in the key when reconnecting to the network on the Laptop and a
message came up saying "Limited or No connection to the Network."

The network works perfectly in unsecured mode.

Any advice would be grateful.

TIA Big Dave

Hi
In most cases that happens when the key is Not typed correctly.
BTW, if your laptop is WPA capable use WPA, it is more secure and provides
better Wireless.
