Q
My computer or device doesn’t work with WPA. Can I still use wireless on
my Hub?
It may be possible to upgrade your computer operating system or wireless adapter to
support WPA. See the wireless adapter manufacturer’s web site for more information.
If your adapter or device only supports WEP, you can change your Hub to accept WEP
wireless connections – see below.
Q
How do I change my Hub to accept WEP wireless connections?
WEP is a less secure wireless setting than WPA and WPA2 (i.e. it can be easier for
someone to hack into your Hub’s wireless connection and connect to your broadband).
If you’re connected using wireless, you’ll briefly lose your connection to the internet
when you change your wireless settings.
