I recently replaced my MN-500 router, because my network mysteriously stopped
working. I purchased a Linksys WRT54G and USB receiver from Linksys. I set it
up with the higher WPA security settings, and according to MS documentation,
the MN-510 should support this as well. The only thing is when I try to use
this with the Network Broadband Utility, there is no way to choose WPA as a
security option. I tried entering my Pass Key for WPA and it says it's
looking for 26 characters, blah, blah... So needless to say, I can't see my
network from the computer the MN-510 is hooked up to. I downloaded the latest
software and firmware updates for the MN-510, and still no luck. If anyone
can help me with this - it would be MOST appreciated!:)

Thanks!

If using WindowsXP SP2, use the Windows setup for your MN-510.
