You can use any of the keys, as long as all clients are using the same number key. It is not related to ports on the router/access point.

DAMNIT!!!!


WHY does my wireless box loose connection then.

It connects at 48 or 54mbps and will be good or low like 80% of the time. Then it will jsut crap out every 5 minutes for the other 20%

nothing changing in the house interferencewise.



Thanks for the answer Philip

what unit? I am using the wrt54g at my cousins house and I its a POS. I will sit right in front on the router and it will say there are no wireless networks, after a few minutes of trying I finally see the AP. Signal drops all the time, always calling me asking why the internet is down. I hate doing computer stuff for other peeps.
