Ok, so I am not new to this but I am having an issue today. I had AT&T internet w/wifi for years, now I just upgraded to AT&T U-verse. I had no problem before, until today.
Before, I had a 2-wire modem and had no issues, and I didn't think I would have any issues because now I have a shiny new 2-wire modem.
The only difference that I know of are the security settings.

My settings before:
Authentication: Shared
Data Encryption: WEP
The key is automatically provided: Unchecked
Network Key: **********

Now:
Authentication: WPA
Data Encryption: TKIP
(Then I try to uncheck box and it is greyed out-see pic)

switch authentication to shared, uncheck the box for automatically provided key and reselect wpa. That should do it. or select wpk-psk (pre-shared key) thats how i have mine setup

Ok, did this and it looked like it would connect, but then I got a pop up that said, "XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

nevermind. I did it once, it didn't work. Said that my key wasn't long enough, should be 8 minimum. (its 10 numbers) but I was trying it again while typing this...and it just connected.

Thank you so much!!!
