Help with Wireless.

Ok, so i 'think' i've set up my new wireless router correctly, it's up on my notebook etc but when i try and connect a box pops up saying

''Windows was unable to find a certificate to log you onto the network Belkin_G etc...''

What is a certificate for one?

Also on the wireless connection box it says 'validating identity'

Go to Start --> Programs --> Accessories --> Communications --> Network Connections --> Right-click your Connection and select Properties --> Click on the Authentication tab --> Disable / uncheck the option IEEE 802.1x authentication for this network.

Now, try to connect to your Wireless network; are you able to? (Note: you may need to restart the computer.)

Tried that before Chris and it didn't work where can i find my WEP key?

the wep key should be on your router somewhere unless youve set one up yourself?

 

[lau2908]

connect to the router with an ethernet cable, then connect to the router, should be 192.168.2.1 , type that in your browser and you should get the setup page for the router , you can change wep keys etc all in there

Normally printed on or under your router.
