    ireless Router security set up

    Hi, I need help on this.
    I have a NetcommNB9WMAXXn and the technician from the service provider asked me to set up the security on Open instead of WPA2 as I understood that was the strongest setting.
    Could some one help me on that?
    My wireless it is to slow and I am not sure if someone get in my network with the set up recommended.

    Cheers

    open security is basically none.

    Not, the office is in Malaysia
    The intteresting part is that in open mode requires a password to get in
    I set it up to WPA2/WPA Mixed Mode
    It does not like WPA2 mode.

    Poor wifi seems to be a common fault with this modem........... according to google searches.


    Seems to be a fix for some people here though: https://discussions.apple.com/thread...t=720&tstart=0

    At Wireless/Configuration, change 54g mode to 54g LRS

    also change the 54g Rate and the Multicast Rate to 48 mbps

    Have you updated XP with the WPA2 hotfix?

    Download Update for Windows XP (KB893357) from Official Microsoft Download Centre
