Thomson TG 585v7
« on: March 11, 2010, 02:34:03 AM »

At present WEP, WPA, and the wireless key are all set to the same value.

I am thinking of changing the values.

Do they have to be the same? or can I set them individually?

Thanks

WEP and WPA are alternative wireless encryption systems - you use one or the other, not both. WEP is practically useless, as it's very easily cracked, so you should use WPA (or better still, WPA2 if all your wireless connected equipment supports it). If there's a choice of different WPA variants, use WPA-PSK.

As I said, they're alternatives. They don't both exist at the same time. You select the one you want to use, and the pass phrase applies to that.
