on 11/12/2009 Im not sure if my comment got through, so I'm posting another one. My mission is to secure my unsecure wireless laptop via my WRT54G router which is connected to my high speed DSL(modem) and Hp-C6100 all in one printer. Please e-mail me with a user friendly web site with simple instructions.
