I've just received my Sky wireless router. The basic set up of my network is thus:
My computer (running Vista) is in my spare bedroom but my phone connection is in my kitchen so I have plugged the router in there. My computer has a wifi adapter to pick up on the routers signal.
I installed the router, linking it to the ADSL switcher, plugged in my telephone and switched it on.
I then went into my bedroom, switched on the computer and vista immediately located the Router. I keyed in the SSID and away I went!
(I should mention at this point that the broadband connection isn't live as yet so I'm not expecting to connect to the internet until my connection date of the 28th Sept.)
I wanted to check the security settings of the router where I went through the network and sharing centre part of Vista. I right clicked the router in the centre and selected properties. I went through the security options and it was on WPA personal. I thought I'd try the WPA2 personal option. It asked me for what I think is the network key, but the one I have isn't working, so I have now lost the connection from my comp to the router, it's saying the settings on the computer doesn't match the settings on the router (and yes I have tried resetting the router to no avail. I contacted SKY and the guy I spoke to was a chocolate teapot, so I'm stuck.I'd love to be able to remove the router settings and reconnect it as a new router but vista doesn't appear to have any way of doing this.
Help!
In addition I should mention, I attempted to change the settings on the router via my IP address as advised by the chocolate teapot, but because I haven't got a live broadband connection as yet I can't access it.
If I could start a fresh and reconnect the router as new I would be happy!

Connecting to the settings in the router are independent of having internet access so yes, he's a chocolate teapot.
Anyway, in Vista, if you click on the wireless network icon near the clock and Connect to a network it will show yours.
Right-click on your network name and then click Properties. You will be able to type the different network key here.

OK OK I can't go any faster! aaaaaaaaaaaagh!
