    Hello
    I want to change both SSID and passphrase in my Netgear router WGR614 v9 to correspopnd with my wireless card WG511v2.
    If I type 192.168.1.1 the router info is available to do so.
    Question, once I change the information in the router, what do I do with the card in the laptop so it will recognize the changes?
    Thank you

    Hi Peter,

    I am not familiar with the Netgear products, but I believe that the changes need to be made in Windows.

    On XP (if you use Vista the steps should be similar, but I'm sorry I don't know them)

    1. Right-click the wireless icon in the system tray and select Open Network Connections, this will show you the network connections that your laptop uses.
    2. Right-click the Wireless connection and select Properties.
    3. Click the Wireless tab -- you should see your existing connection details listed in the box in the bottom half of the screen.
    4. Click Add -- now enter the new SSID and passphrase as needed.
    5. Once the connection is working, remove the old wireless entry.

    Hope this works for you!
