Background: we have verizon fios with a verizon (actiontec) router feeding 4 wireless laptops and 3 wired desktops. These machines have a variety of OS - XP home, XP media, XP Pro, Vista home, and Vista business.
We received a blueray player for Christmas. The blueray player apparently uses WPA encryption and the router is set up by default with WEP encryption. The player has identified the network just fine and shows a strong signal but I can't sign on because of the encryption deal. The blueray player people say that I need to change my router over to WPA encryption for it to work.
My question is does this mean that all the computers need the encryption changed as well for them to remain working on the wireless? How hard is this to do in the various operating systems? I want to get this blueray/netflix player working, but if I screw up our home network, it won't be pretty.
Thanks
