Hi Andy.
No, there's no need to make your wireless network unsecure, you probably set a
user name and password when you set up the router. If you can't remember the
user name or password, try looking in the router's manual for the defaults, the
user name should be something like "admin" or "root" without the quotations
marks. I don't use netgear products so I'm not entirely sure of the default
password, but if you have got internet access at least, you can go to the
netgear support pages at www.netgear.com and I bet you there's a knowledge base
article answering just this question.
All the best, Ibrahim

Hi Ibrahim -
When the Router's webpage opens, I am asked for a username and password, I
can't remember the user name, but I have a note of the password, I tried using
netgear as well as my own name for the user name [i seem to recall that there
was a default user name, and that's why i tried Netgear]
Anyway, I'm not getting anywhere, and keep getting a message warning me that
"this server is requesting that you send your username and password in an
insecure manner[basic authentication without a secure connection]
I'm wondering [even if I am using the correct user name and password details]
if the router's page isn't opening because my wireless network is secure, and
if I'm meant to make it insecure for this to work?

Subject: [access-uk] Adding my netbook to my network
Hi all -
Please bear with me as I feel like I'm in the deep end again :)
When I get my Netbook, I want it to work wirelessly on the same network as
my laptop.
My current set up has been to have my now defunct desc top, wired via
ethernet to my Netgeergb 834 router, and my laptop connected wirelessly. When I
was setting this up, I used the CD that came with the Netgeer, and it placed a
short cut on the desk top of the hard wired PC, that I could click on to see
the router settings, including pass key etc.
Now that I've lost access to the PC, and only have my laptop working, I'm
not sure what to do to get the netbook working wirelessly.
Will I need the passkey that I created when installing the Netgeer threw
the Ethernet cable to the PC? If so, I am unable to retrieve it because the PC
has died; does this mean I need to start again, and install the Netgeer's
software from the cd, on to my laptop?
I hope this isn't too fuzzy <smile>
Andy
