1 edit | [Help] If you own a Belkin N+ F5D8235-4 and a Mac computer..
Can you please give me SIMPLE, STEP BY STEP instructions on how secure my wireless connection using the BEST and MOST secure method? The instruction manual on the provided CD is written VERY poorly and VERY confusing and hard to understand. Again, SIMPLE and STEP BY STEP instructions please. My Mac's OS is the latest version of Leopard. Thanks very much!

Re: [Help] If you own a Belkin N+ F5D8235-4 and a Mac computer..
I'm continuing this over here. On my wireless router, I have this screen:
However, somewhere on my iMac, and NOT on Airport utility, I've seen a pulldown menu with the SAME type of options: WEP and WPA, but now I can't remember where it is. Once I enter an encryption key on my router, I will also have to enter it on my Mac and since I don't know where the pulldown menu is, I won't be able to enter it on my Mac. If I'm wrong and it is in fact in Airport utility, that won't work either because it won't discover wireless devices. So, once I've entered an encryption key into the router, I have no idea what to do next on my Mac. Also, I still don't no what the best, least hackable type of encryption is.

| It would be this menu. It will detect security automatically. |

Now write this down (IP, username, settings) so you can do it in the future. |
