Speedy? wainui? anybody......... im lost, and floundering here, i dont think its safe, we are capped, so no extra cost, but hmmmmmmmm. help beetle:rolleyes:	beetle (243)

1208861	2011-06-13 06:17:00	By default, the router/modem should have the security enabled . The last few I have seen from telecom, have a sticker on the botom of the router, that will say what the wireless password is . To be more precise, what model Thomson is it - that will be on the underside of the modem/router . ?	wainuitech (129)

First, you'll need a USB adapter / PCI wireless card (and obviously the drivers) Why does she need a USB adapter / PCI wireless card She can just access the router and add a password if it is not there already.

1208864	2011-06-13 06:43:00	Just found "A" manual for the thomson ( TG787v) from Here its a PDF (www.google.co.nz Fdocumentation%2FTG787v%2FR74X%2FSetupUserGuide%2F PDF%2FTG787v_SetupUserGuide_en.pdf&ei=XJ_1TdvSHoOisQOV8fDFCw&usg=AFQjCNGOlTq46BsoOS2g1CI8u0n3Guo1hw)-- Dont know if its the same as you have, but the setting should be close enough to the same. Open a command prompt, type in ipconfig look for the gateway, it may be 192.168.1.254 Open a browser, type in that address Eg: http://192.168.1.254 <press enter> enter in the user name and password, ( could be admin / Admin) Once you are in the interface, look for home network, or as the pic below says, Office network. Follow the instructions as per the Attached Picture, which is a screen shot of the manual (pdf) above. If you dont use or need the wireless, disable it.	wainuitech (129)
1208865	2011-06-13 06:50:00	Yes if your not using the wireless yourself Beetle turn the wireless part off	gary67 (56)
