Windows 7 virtual wifi authentication mode

Hello.

Just a quick question to whoever is using windows 7 virtual wifi capability - when you type in "netsh wlan show hostednetwork", cmd window displays a list of settings for your hosted virtual wifi.

I was wondering, is there a way to change authentication method from WPA2-Personal to simple WEP ?

Cheers.

 

Settings Wifi Button is Off but Connection is Available - Lost Yellow Warning Symbol

Use to be that in Settings -> if Wireless button was ‘Off’ there would be a yellow

warning symbol indicating that Wifi Connection was “Off”.



However, in the past day, or so, I notice that the Settings Wireless - On/Off
- button is continually on “Off” and yet despite this Wifi Connection On/off does not show a yellow caution symbol, and I can switch Wifi Connection ‘On or Off’ when I like.



I prefer the connection accessibility the way it use to be because this way I am assured that wireless was off (at least I hope it is)

I prefer to see the yellow caution symbol while WIFI settings is “Off”.



Need a suggestion.



Thanks

 

At my wits end with WiFi

I did the sme, with the WAP, i disabled DHCP, and assigned a static IP (192.168.1.2), the adsl router already has a static ip set. i followed th guide here: Wireless access point - DD-WRT Wiki to a T, both with and without the reccommended/optional steps.

Still no joy, and i still can't get my desktop to see the wifi router, wth default settings and a direct connection. My laptop views the wifi router fine, with default settings.

Ok i figured i missed a step when changing to the DD-WRT firmware. I didn;t upgrade to the latest version. i'm doing that now, and i'll try to set it up again.
