Following my recent thread about changing to a wireless connection -
I now have a wireless router so that OH's desktop and daughter's laptop can access the internet. I had to give the guy in the shop my PlusNet username, password and a security password, along with OH's tower and daughter's laptop and he set it all up so that I just had to install the new hardware afterwards on my own desktop.
1. How do I access the security password, or check that he put one in place for that matter, because presumably it would make sense to change it now?
2. I no longer have an icon in my system tray to tell me the wireless connection is open and what speed it is etc. Is this normal?
3. None of the LAN lights are on on the router but according to my system information I have a network connection
Is this normal?
4. As the internet connection now seems to be permanently on, am I supposed to turn the router itself off overnight, or when I leave the house etc?
Sorry if these are dumb questions!
