| 1322325 | 2013-01-10 21:52:00 | Hi I have just purchased a new Asus n12u router modem which works well hardwired but i cant get the wireless to work My comp shows the wireless conection but when I click on it to conect it says it is out of range ( its 3 feet away) and there for I cant connect to put password in i have tried the repair function but that didnt work either When I set the wireless up I chose shared key and put a password in there are several other options and I am not sure which is best to use and if using another option would fix the above problem or if any of the others would give us better protection The wireless is used for home with ipads and phones being used on it as well as a couple of laptops from time to time The other options are WPA personal WPA2 personal WPA auto personal WPA enterprise WPA2 enterprise Radius with 802.1x Many thanks Peter |

Once you've confirmed that's working, re-enable encryption, and WPA2-Personal is the strongest. |

| 1322328 | 2013-01-10 23:39:00 | How many wireless devices are there altogether?? I would also update the firmware to 1.0.4.1 if this isnt on it already. It fixes a lot of bugs | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 1322329 | 2013-01-11 00:21:00 | Usually only 1 or 2 computers and maybe an ipad or a couple of phone at one time there are 3 of us in house so not much traffic really will update firmware first and see if that helps thanks peter |

| 1322330 | 2013-01-11 00:32:00 | Connect a cable to update it in case it stuffs up somewhere. Just to be safe. Dont use wireless to update it. Once you update it send me a PM. I could configure it from here if you like using teamviewer. I take it you've entered the username and password in for your ISP (since you're here). You need both to connect to the internet | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 1322331 | 2013-01-11 01:02:00 | Thanks speedy I am at work and comp is at home I will use cable to update firmware the modem is connected to the net as I set that up this morning only works on cable not on wireless will play with it tonight and see if I can get it working cheers peter |

| 1322332 | 2013-01-11 01:19:00 | i found that wpa personal worked the best with all my devices. I had a couple of devices (Xbox 360 and old laptop) that didn't work with wpa2. wpa is about as secure as wpa2 as well. If wpa2 works fine, just use that. | jonovw (16835) | ||
