Scenario 3
I changed the Encryption Key of my Wireless LAN Access Point with the RG Set-up
utility. Now I want to update the Encryption Key on my wireless computers, but have
forgotten the 5 character Encryption Key code.
1 If you change the Encryption Key on the Access Point, you have to update the
Encryption Key on every wireless computer in your network.The Access Point
and all wireless computers in your network, must have the same Encryption Key
in order for the devices to transmit and receive readable data.
2 If you change the Encryption Key, you are advised to write it down and keep it in
a safe place. If you forget the key, you will not be able to update the Encryption
Key in the USB Wireless LAN settings on your wireless computers. As a result of
that you will also not be able to change the Access Point Encryption Key with the
setup utility.
3 There is no other way to solve the problem than to perform a 'reload' on the
Access Point. The reload will change the Encryption Key to the default value.
4 After the reload you can run the Access Point RG Set-up utility again, and change
the default Encryption Key to a new value. Do not forget to update the
Encryption Key in the USB Wireless LAN settings on your wireless computers.
NOTE
Whenever you change the Encryption Key, you are advised to write it down and keep
it in a safe place.
