I'm not too happy with the instructions given. Not at all. I did skip past the part where I would choose the type of encryption from the new card software, but I did have to put in the password (which they called "pass phrase"). This allowed me to click to the next step. It asked me to click the button on the router. I did that but nothing happened. I tried right-clicking on the wireless connection icon and telling it to repair, but there was a problem resetting the IP address. Is this something the DSL people can help with? They are pretty much hands off when it comes to networks and routers, though. As a last resort, my wife knows someone who knows more about this than I do, and for a small fee might help...
