Where do you change wireless encryption key number
Wireless usb adapter is working and can see the networks, but my security key set to something other than Windows # 1 default setting, and I can't find in Windows where to tell it to look at the other key settings. The box opens that asks for the key number, but does not offer an option to select which set of keys to use, and I can't seem to find one anywhere

You can change the key number within the router setup (192.168.n.n) or remove the existing connection then set it up again as follows: 1 - Go to Control Panel > All Control Panel Items > Network and Sharing Center > Manage Wireless Networks (in the left pane) and right-click the one you want to Remove. 2 - To connect to a network go to Control Panel > All Control Panel Items > Network and Sharing Center > Set up a new connection or network > Manually Connect to a Wireless Network > Next. Type in the Network Name (SSID), select Security Type and type in the key. You may also want to tick Start this connection automatically and Connect even if the network is not > Next.

Thanks, I found it with your help. I had it set up in Windows 7 beta, but couldn't for the life of me find it after installing the RC. Seems like it would be a good idea if the drop down for which set of keys to usecame up in the same box when it asks for your key number at the task bar
