Unable to password protect my network, please help!!!
« on: February 28, 2011, 11:02:13 PM »

I will try to explain my problem as clear as possible but my knowledge about networks and routers is very limited.

I have a DIR-615 version:C1 firmware:3.13NA
My ISP is ATT DSL
Modem is Siemens SpeedStream 4100, it does not have a router built in
Internet line is connected from wall to modem, to router, to PC.

Ok, so after I upgraded the firmware I had no internet coming out of the router, I bypassed the router and connected straight to the PC and I got internet. I unplugged the power on both modem and router waited a whole night (I was too tired) and in the morning internet was back to PC and I had WIFI again BUT...  ???
When I put a password on the WIFI network all my stuff finds the signal but cannot connect, if I open the signal meaning if I have no password and the WIFI is open I can connect all of my electronics without any problems.

I already tried using WEP and WPA but still unable to connect anything, I been leaving my signal open when I'm at home for the last week and I don't like it.

Before the update everything worked fine.

I don't know if this matters but I have a PS3, Wii, Roku box, Laptop and a couple cell phones connected to it. And there are like 6 or 7 network signals close to my house.

Please help me  :-[

the only way to secure the WiFi is to set the Cipher type to one of the listed options. Preferred is WPA2 and set the type to Auto or AES. However if you set WPA2 and or AES only, be aware that some older devices may not support this kind of setting. Try using WPA and TPIK settings for older devices.
