yup, you want to enable WPA-PSK (it's fancy for a type of encryption only using what is called a pre-shared key, hence the PSK.) Just think up a password you can remember and enter it into the NIT as the rotuer's wireless security section and then in the setup/config for the connection on your NIT. After that the connection to the router should be easy as rolling off a log.

In addition to changing the SSID you might want to turn of the SSID Broadcast too. But only to that after you know EVERYTHING is running smoothly.

It's not really a difficult task to get it all working just remember to make only one change at a time, test it, then if it is working move on to the next thing. And KEEP NOTES of what you are doing. That way in the excitement of something not working, you can always return to them for exactly what ya did or did not do. I actually use those black & white notebooks with the graph paper inside. I have one for each device that needs setup. They cost about a buck each or so at any office supply or even WalMart. So, I always can find whatever I did 3-months ago for that particular device or even software. Got hooked on them in Kawledge and have used them ever since. BTW, I prefer the graph paper sorts over the composition ruled paper versions.

And remember on the Linksys, in the worst case if you bugger something in the config and cannot get a connection you can always reset the router to all the factory defaults and begin again. So, you can't wreck it simply by changing the settings.

And try not to get frustrated if you get lost in the mix...there are tons of people to help out...I bet a large proportion of us use the same Linksys as you have.

Most of all HAVE FUN!!
