Hi,
I have an eircom netopia modem. If any of you have eircom broadband and have a netopia -- have you been able to setup WPA instead of the default(weaker) WEP.
I can set up a WEP key - however when I try to set up a more secure WPA key - the modem will not allow me to access the internet.

Why is this?

Also I was informed that it is a good idea not to broadcast your network name (SSID?), how is this done and how can I then find my own network if I dont broadcast the SSID?

Please help, thank you.
 
What model # is it? Also, have you checked on their website? Some manufacturers will have scanning software on their website that will detect modem/router and pretty do everything automatically for you.
