I just obtained a Lenovo S10 Netbook with Windows 7 Starter version for my sister and I have a query regarding configuring the Wi-Fi access. This is my first experience to Windows 7, so I will describe things as top I can. I clicked on the Internet Access symbol in the plate and up came the catalog of Wireless Network Connections. I chosen the one for our WPA-PSK encrypted router and cut and pasted my 30 characters Network Security Key and, I was linked to the internet and web surfing just excellent. Here is my query. How to I lastingly hide my router's Network Security Key? While I go back to the Wireless Network Connections and right click my router and choose 'Properties" and go to the "Security" tab, there is a little check box labeled "Show Characters" which will clasp back and onward between a string of points and the 'plain text' 'Network Security Key' for anybody to read. I am not eager to keep her setup to utilize our network if anybody with access to her Netbook can hunt for my router's WPA password. I have quite some tools attached wirelessly to our network, but this is the just one where I can observe the password in simple text. The others just show a string of stars or points to 'encrypt' the show of the password. I will be thankful for any assist and so will the sister that wishes to keep accessing the internet.
