Just a few questions that I would like to be cleared up on...

I'm just wondering where I am able to find the router name and password. Network Magic requires these two peaces of information.

I would also just like to be cleared up on the best encryption for my wireless network in order to receive the highest speeds and connections. I am currently set up with WPA-Personal, Auto (WPA or WPA2), AES Cipher Type and 3600 Group Key Update Interval.

And lastly, the computer that has the DWA-140 wireless adapter has a static ip address. Should the router register the ip even though its a static? Under the tab 'Status' and 'Wireless' in the router configuration page the ip address says 0.0.0.0.

By router name and password i'm assuming you mean the router login name and password

use 'admin' for the username and leave the password field blank

As for encryption, you trade off speed for security when using higher grade encryption (ie WPA2) but under normal circumstances for best balance of both speed and security what you currently have now would be adequate although changing the Cipher Type to 'TKIP' should give you a little more leg room for compatibility

Onto your third question... I don't know if you have a static IP set on the computer's LAN Properties or Wireless LAN Properties but in either case it should not show up in the DHCP client list of the router if that's what your referring to
