How to change the WiFi security key in VISTA?
We had to change the security key on our router. My son’s computer is running Vista and I can’t figure out how to change the key on his computer to allow internet access to our home wifi. I’ve changed the XP machines and the Mac – but can’t get Vista figured – any suggestions?

Connect your Vista PC to the router using LAN cable. WiFi security only applies to WiFi, not to cable
