Help......Yeah

SSID is the name or your wireless network, the broadcast name. To connect to your network you have to setup the WEP or WPA keys [if you used security] and the network's name.

Yep use a WEP security key but the cam wont let me add the entire key? Maybe one of the problems

Are you entering it in hexadecimal?

HUH  :D

Speak sausage to me  :D  :D

[squirtthecat]

;D

Sorry, are you entering your key as a sequence of numbers, or letters?

N - 78
E - 69
P - 80
A - 65
S - 83

Most of the time it is something really simple I would just start over.
Make sure you have:
a) SSID; Your Network Name
b) Encryption method (e.g., WPA/WPA2/WEP); Be sure of the encryption method you are using on your router
c) Encription technique (e.g., TKIP/AES/TKIP-AES) This will be associated with WPA or WPA2
d) Share key ALL

If you are cutting and pasting your wep/wpa key, sometimes when you do it leaves a blank space, at the end of the key make sure this isn't happening.

You'll geter up! so to speak ;)

Slap me like a  dumb@$$  :D

LOL you can log into your router from your PC. Either using an I.P address or maybe your router came with software that let's you login.

On your wep key, there are different strength keys 64 bit 128 bit so make sure which key length you are using for the router. 64 bit is shorter than 128.

*EDIT if you change your wep key you will have to setup all your wireless devices again with the new key!

If your going to do all that then I would change the encryption to WPA/WPA2 waaaaay better security. You don't want little johnny next door hacking your connection for his XBOX ;D

Need a good WPA key here ya go http://www.kurtm.net/wpa-pskgen

I would just look at the router wep key length, then set the cam wep key length to that and try to enter the key again.

Rick, open a browser and type 192.168.1.1 in the address bar.
That's usually the router IP address (where you get to the settings so you can change your security key).
You'll need a password to gain access -- hopefully you remember or can guess it...

Oh Mi Goosta   :D

This is a major pain in the tokes  :D

And if you don't remember what your router login password is there's a tiny little button somewhere on it to reset everything back to the factory defaults.  You usually have to press and hold it for at least 5 seconds. You might need a paperclip to reach it. Then just Google the default password for your router or look it up in that manual you remembered to put in a safe place in your drawer.   ;)

When you get back to establishing the new security parameters be sure to turn off the 'Broadcast SSID' option.  That'll help keep the little buggers from easily hacking your connection.

Thats not the issue i'm having.

The issue is not being able to figure port forwarding and having people watch my smoker on my IP cam as just viewers.
