It does now ask me for my password on the Linksys page....do I need to put a password on at the Notebook also. I still don't find a place where there's an SSID code...
Okay, I am back on the desktop. Wow, this is getting to be more than I can handle! I think what happened is I was reading the network adapter guide and thought it would be great to share the printer and files.... so I made the suggested changes and that's what I think did it. I removed the changes and restarted. Seems okay now but a little slow but sometimes it is at this time of day.
I still can't find a way to change security settings. The router worked immediately with the notebook and desktop so I never went through any screens telling me to change my password. I went to the Linksys page and tried to change it there but when I got to the end it told me access was denied.... How secure is this connection - is it broadcasting all over? Also, do I need to change settings on both computers or just one? Any additional info is appreciated....
Hopefully, I will find a solution to this... thanks to you both.
