8800nl - security settings

Post by davidc »

I have set up my 8800NL to work as a vdsl modem router with BTInfinity. All OK. But I don't want any wireless component as I only use a wired connection to my pc. I have disabled the "Wireless" setting but would like to make the security even more sure by creating a security code for outside access to my wireless signal (were it to be working). I know this is overkill if I switch off the entire wireless security but nevertheless, could someone please point me to the precise fields in the configuration pages I need to use to set up my own pass code for the wireless signal and which ones I should use. I find the security types and instructions in the manual too complicated to make sense of.

Thanks for help with this.
