Hi, I am trying to set up a new Linksys Wireless Router model WRT54G2 to
use
WEP. I am running Vista. When I get on Linksys web page (192.168.1.1)
and
get to the place where I click on WEP in the security mode box I get a
message from Internet Explorer 7 saying “It will stop WPS because WI-FI
Protected setup does not support WEP/WPA Enterprises/WPA2
Enterprise/Radius.� I have to click on a box that says OK to get rid of
the
box. After saving my choice and going to the section that ask for my
passphrase and saving that I lose my internet connection. I just moved
and
bought a new router as opposed to renting one from my internet provider,
the
old one was a Linksys and it worked fine??
Any Ideas –
Thanks

It is better to use WPA instead of WEB in Vista wireless. This post may help
too.

Fixed: Vista can't access wireless because WEB settigns

I have had some instances where I needed to update the Firmware in a router
for it to perform properly, under Vista, and this may or may not help you.
Check with the Company to see if there is a newer firmware for your router.
Also always use a hardwired "network cable" when making wireless changes.
That way if you make changes which affect the wireless connection, you will
still have access to your router.
