I have a Linksys WRT54G, using WPA2 with a 63-character password. When I try to connect using a wireless laptop, get error message: Network password must be 40 bits or 104 bits - 5 or 13 ascii characters.
Not sure exactly what this means, or what I need to do...
The laptop is asking you for a WEP key, which would never work for a wireless connection using WPA. Does the wireless adapter in the laptop even support WPA?
Now that you mention it, probably not. Guess I either change to WEP or disable the security? I use the WPA key for wireless Tivo...
Actually tivo went wpa, used to be wep only, so I had everything wep, and when it changed, I had to find new drivers for the laptop/tablets/pda's etc... You didn't say what sort of laptop you have, but leave the router/tivo etc alone and look at updated drivers for the laptop.....
