Instead of doing it manually, I let the device search for my network and went from there. Once connected I deleted the other profile. I am still trying to figure out why the iLiad freaked me out so much. I use to have my network open, but then my neighbor's teenage kids, kept sneaking around on my network, so I closed it. All they had to do was ask. Then once I added more network stuff (wireless print server, slingbox, xbox live) I had to secure the network. On my N800 I can see my neighbors networks and pretty much all are secure. Thanks for your advice though. It's nice to know that there are people willing to lend a helping hand. Ellen Jorgen,

I use to have my network open, but then my neighbor’s teenage kids, kept sneaking around on my network, so I closed it. All they had to do was ask.

Thanks for your advice though. It’s nice to know that there are people willing to lend a helping hand.

If that was not the case, your neighbor would have free WiFi. Or maybe he has? :) If you don't know these: log into your WiFi the usual way via a web-browser, check that the DHCP server is set in the LAN section (probably is) and get the SSID, channel and encryption key from the WiFi section. Enter the SSID, channel and key into the iRex. At the same time check that the iRex has been set to automatically contact a DHCP server. Switch it off afterwards and switch it on, holding your breath. Now it will hopefully work. If you don't use DHCP on your WiFi for security reasons, ask again. :) I don’t have an iRex, but you minimum need to enter the SSID, channel number and the encryption key in the iRex before it can talk to your WiFi.
