i was just trying to setup the secure network and it asks if i want to automatically set up a network key or if i was to do it manually. Then at the bottom it asks if i want to use WPA encryption instead of WEP. Then it asks if i want to use a USB flash drive or setup the network manually. What do i say for all those? thanks again

Its up to you on WEP or WPA, I think WPA is more secure but unless you live next to a hacker you won't have problems with most people even getting past WEP unless they randomly guess your password, I would just setup the network manually personally, because all of the other comptuers that are already currently running wireless will only need the encryption key put in.

Since your adding a wireless router, go to the computer that you will be using it with (anything with wireless) go to my network places, double click the wireless network, connect to the wireless router, then go to internet explorer or firefox (whatever browser you use) type in 192.168.1.1 then click on your wireless tab, and it will probably prompt for a username and password for this look in the book its usually administrator and password but it varies model to model, you went to set your encryption on usually there is a setting for 64bit or 128 bit 128 bit being the strongest encryption set a password and save your settings, if this is too vague pm me and I'll hit you up on an instant messenger or phone your choice I'll do my best to get you up and running securely.

never assume the default gateway although thats the default netgear one

cmd promt then ipconfig and use the default gateway that comes up for your ie part
