Guys, I've had internet access problems over the last 48 hours so reinstalled my router, I now have access but 'security type' is 'unsecured'. The Netgear guide recommends WPA2-PSK (I can see other networks in the area also have this) but when I select I lose connection with a message saying computer settings are not compatible to the network. If I select 'disable' all OK but obviously I'd like some protection...............advice very welcome, thanks!

You might have to get the computer to "Forget" the connection in the options somewhere as sometimes it will used the saved security method instead of discovering which one the connection actually needs. Never needed to do this on Windows but have on other devices.
