How to change Asus router security key?
I've just loaded Puppy from a DVD and it runs OK. I have an Ralink 2860 wireless adapter and an Asus RT-N66R wireless router. My problem is twofold. Firmware for the Ralink is not available in the list of wireless adapters within Puppy release 5.2.8. The configuration process asks for a router security key. How do I find the key? It's not on the router case nor did I specify one during the router install a year ago. Is it a "simple" matter of displaying the router info (192.168.1.1) and changing the key without creating other problems? Thank you
lucid he mentions.
For those adapters I find their own drivers are best...the STA ones... later lucid updates seem to include them so perhaps have a relook at what is on offer in terms of Lucid. The open source drivers don't seem to cut the mustard with certain ralink hardware though a later kernel might get lucky.

I did make an sfs bundling the newer drivers since the original 5.2.8 ..it may or may not be useful for you or simply overkill....it was also aimed at an experimental build so no guarantees but won't do any harm either.

Three-Headed Dog is based on Lucid 5.2.8 but with the

Some newer computers might work better with 3HD than with

OK, I'm a real entry level person. Trying to log on the internet fails using Puppy 5.2.8 or the current version of Slacko. Either shows I have a wireless pci adapter and displays the correct description. Ioading a driver fails. The ESSID is not accepted even though I've checked the Asus router for that information. I've tried many times with failures. It does not "like" any drivers (but I can't find any with the adapters description). Ideas? Thank you
The security key is something you would set by going into the router and wifi settings..usually you can choose say wpa2 and set a password... and usually the default would be no encryption.
As long as you can log into the router that is...they usually have a default password on the case... or something like 1234...the makers website might help. That can be changed too and should be.
Again with the default lucid driver it may not work anyway for that wifi device.

Try using Frisbee for wireless.
In both.See what happens.
I would also try 3 headed dog..as explained above.
Forget the other connection crap.
Does your adaptor start to blink when wireless is scanned?

Chris, both my adapter and router are exactly as described. The router key has 8 digits as I setup during my initial install. Both PCs (one with Windows 7 and Linux mint boot and log on to the internet). Using the PC in question, I can boot LinuxMint and the display is normal and I can log on to the internet. Booting Puppy looks normal but when I attempt to use the PC on the internet it fails to establish connection. I'll try what you suggested. Thank you for assisting me. (and Mike)
I just installed Slacko 5.7. It boots and displays as expected and connects to the internet! Wow, I'm elated. Now to play with the O/S. I'll give up on Puppy and early Slacko releases. Thanks to all that have posted comments, you've really helped me. So far Slacko looks good enough for me to dump Linux Mint and Windows7! All problems solved!

Just edit your post as Solved...that helps out others.
How to change Asus router security key? Solved
And did you use Frisbee?
Also....keep Windows but Love Puppy is my mantra.
You may just want it to do something that's
not so easy in Linux.
Just run Ccleaner, stop the startups, stop Windows updates,
remove all the Antivirus software and install Malwarebytes
Antimalware Free Edition...and untick the Trial of the full version,
and set System restore to 1 percent...and your PC
will move along a bit faster.

So me guessing having the STA driver was the fix since thats usually included in later pups... lsmod will show what is being used.
None of that junk and remove IE/outlook/wmp7+ and messenger... then you fly ..and never get anything resembling an infection.
How did windows get in here? And all our favourite software uses it...linux is for the boring stuff
