 Windows asking for WEP when should be WPA/PSK Have just reinstalled XP on a Compaq Presario Laptop which uses a Vigor 540 cardbus wireless adapter to connect to a Vigo 2600Gi router. Where I have to enter the network key it is expecting a WEP key, but the router is set up for a WPA/PSK, so it obviously isn't accepting it. Is there somewhere I tell windows it's WPA/PSK security?  |
