It may depend on which OS you are using. According to at least one online source, Qwest MAY support wireless encryption services with the Q1000 only on XP, Vista, or 7.
I don't use Qwest nor the Q1000, so can't tell you from experience, just what I've read.
I've also a friend who has a Q1000 and has told me that so far he has been unable to make it work using encryption with his Win2000 SP4 laptop...yeah, I know--Win2000. That could be a software/driver issue given the age of the Win2000 OS. Again, I've no personal hands-on with it.
