Hi jw111

I don't know that in Bridged mode you can. When I tried the setup here
connecting the controller to the receiver by connecting to the
SQUEEZEBOX_XXXX network, it connected without ever asking for a
password.

Using netstumbler I could see the squeezebox duets wireless name
advertised, and the encryption was showing as WEP.

If you have your own wireless router? If this is the case then instead
of selecting the SQUEEZEBOX_XXXX choose the option to select another
wireless network, and select your own, you can then use whatever
encryption you have set on your own router.

In this mode the wireless part of the receiver is effectively OFF, eg
no SQUEEZEBOX_XXXX appears when scanning for wireless networks.

Hope this makes sense. I've never got a satisfactory answer about
bridged mode, other than people saying it is really only meant for
people without their own wireless router. Although the connection
between the Controller and the Receiver in this situation is WEP which
can easily be broken, I'm not sure of the security implications of this
on the DUET. I certainly didn't like the idea, so I connected the
controller to my own wirless network with WPA2 and it works fine. I
think this is called Hybrid mode.
