AirPorts, NETGEAR wireless routers, and encryption
Authored by: theimbalance on Jul 11, '03 05:44:07PM

Hey I know my question probably entails a very obvious answer, but I bought the Netgear MR814 with plans on buying just the AirPort card for my iBook thinking that since they both worked on 2.4 gigahertz I would be fine. Do I need a base station as well? Thanks

nope... the Netgear MR814 is the equivalent of a base station. I just bought a TiBook with airport built in and it connected to my Netgear MR814 like a charm... once I changed the WEP key mode from "Shared" to "automatic"... I believe that's slightly "lower security" but it works for now.

Anyone got any ideas why my powerbook couldn't see the Netgear until I made the key non-shared"?
