Is there a no-security wireless network in range and do you allow automatic connections to it?
If so, and your Netgear was temporarily unavailable, it might connect to it, thus producing the message. Or the message is simply false and showing up due to an error in the driver. Rules of thumb for wireless: 1. Make sure router firmware and client NIC drivers are current. 2. Never use the vendor-provided wireless software (other than driver) if you can help it - make sure such things are uninstalled or disabled from starting Carl From: Murray Freeman [mailto:mfree...@alanet.org] Sent: Thursday, February 19, 2009 2:33 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: SECURING WIFI ROUTER I hope this is on topic. I have a Dell 700m laptop and a Netgear rangemax mimo "G" router. I'm using WPA2, but from time to time, a baloon pops up from the icon in the systray stating that my connection is unsecure. If I right click and select "view wireless networks" it indicates that my network is in fact secured with WPA2. Any ideas why I get the baloon, and is there another way to insure that I am WPA2 secured in fact? I've noticed this for months now.
