WIFI Extender setup - "Generate Keys"?
Have you setup a WN3000 using a Windows 7 (home Premium) computer?
I tried to follow the primer offered by Netgear, but the windows it showed differ from mine - On the window where I enter the WEP Key, I also see a Button labled "Generate" - and 4 boxes below labeled Key1, Key 2, etc.
The primer does NOT show these boxes.
What do I do with these 4 keys, which are produced when I click 'Generrate'
I tried ignoring them, but the WEP Key does not work to permit access to the ___-EXT wifi signal. Nor do any of the generated keys work for this purpose.
Some obvious 'disconnect' here - have you expereinced this?
thanks in advance for any advice.

- Use WPA2 instead of hackable WEP on main wireless router
You can use ANY of generate for WEP (ex. Key 1 chosen on main router)
