belkin n1 vision security

[clair]

i have virgin media cable and have just gone wireless with a belkin n1 vision. my internet works fine but im not sure if my network is secure. When i installed the router i set up wpa security and thought all was secure. Problem is when i go into my network center it says belkin n1 connected but does not say security enabled, but if i go into manage wireless networks it says belkin n1- security wpa personal, does this mean i am secure, any advice would put my mind at rest, with thanks.

if it asked for a password when you connected to it then it is secure.

Is there anyway to test it is secure or to look for something on my pc that will show me? Also i have hp photosmart c4380 wireless printer but it wont connect wirelessly i have tried uninstalling it and gone through the instructions twice but keep getting, ERROR WHILE SAVING THE SETTINGS TO THE DEVICE, any help please im new to wireless.

The Windows network icon will explicitly state WPA on your router if you're using WZC to connect. http://sfghdean.ucsf.edu/wireless/im...sf/wifig02.jpg < the AP on the bottom is secure, the AP at the top isn't. Make sure you don't use regular, dictionary, words for your passphrase too, a long (20 characters + ) mix of numbers and letters is probably best, pop it onto a text file using notepad and put that file onto a usb-key for ease of access.

hi clair, i too am using a belkin n1 vision with virgin media the option in the web interface is to set the security password to your home network it does the job as the option in windows so yes you are protected .To check this your security software if you have it (i use norton 2009)will tell you if your network is secure
