If one part does *not*, you will need to either update its firmware and/or drivers or just use WEP. You will set your router up (usually from a browser - consult the manual) and select your encryption method and key. Most often you will enter a passphrase to generate a key. You will not use the passphrase again - you will enter the key on the laptop. |
