Need Help with Wireless Network Equipment Configuration and WPA2
Hi,
I am having problems setting up a wireless network. The equipment I have is: A DSL Modem/Gateway (Westell 327W) which is a wireless Modem/Router supplied by my ISP - Verizon. I would like to set this up with WPA2 Security, but when I contacted Verizon Suppont for firmware upgrade, they gave me a Westell toll free number, but as I reach Westell at that number it says Verizon customers are to contact Verizon. I have sent an e-mail support request to Verizon, no response yet.
1) In the meantime I also have a D-Link DI-624 Router; would it be possible to put this between my computers and the Westell 327W for wifi access through the D-Link (with WPA2)?
2) If this is possible, how would I configure (neutralize) the wifi of the Westell so the neighborhood could not use it?
3) How would my computers distinguish between the Westell and the D-Link for wifi access?
I am currently using ethernet connections to the Westell Gateway for both my systems (wires stretched across the room).
I am sure these questions convey my lack of knowledge of Wireless Network Connections; I know just enough to mess things up real good.
Thank you all for your every consideration.
