Any comments/advice please.
Bought a new dell laptop, the only way it would wirelessly connect is if I disabled the encryption on the router (netgear dg834gt) After trawling the internet it seems that others have exactly the same problems, and dell and netgear blame each other for the problem.
Anyway, after reading the router instructions I discovered setting up access points by using mac addresses. So I have now set up the router so that it will only allow my laptop mac address to connect, ssid is switched off and the encryption is disabled.
I believe this is totally secure - am I right?
Also the the connection speed has dramatically increased and the connection is constant, in the past it was slower and intermittent
