Hi.

This is my first post on here.. What a ton of useful info on here.

OK here is my question.

I have a wireless router and a wireless laptop. I also have a wireless
printer. Problem is my printer will only allow WEP encryption. I Want
WPA for obvious reasons. So my question. Can I set my laptop to com pc
to pc with the printer while still connected to the router with WPA. I
can do one or the other now but I want both. ha ha

Thanks in advance.
Tory

Make and model of the router?
Make and model of the laptop? Operating System?
Make and model of the printer?

It's quite possible that a firmware update to your unspecified printer
might include WPA support.
