Security Upgrade N600 How do I change security from WEP to WPA2PSK for 2.4G connections?

I can and did upgrade security level from WEP to WPA2PSK for the 5G connections, but something won't allow me to do that for the 2.4G connections.  It keeps reverting back to WEP.

  • I guess your using Genie to control your router at lease that's Netgear has shown in it's manual so once you the security for 2.4 all should save (apply) it. If that is not working here is a visit from your router's older brother the wndr3400v1 and the manual you had to set the router up please take note of page 27 wireless setup her is the link http://www.downloads.netgear.com/files/GDC/WNDR3400V1/WNDR3400_SM_23MAR2010.pdf the wndr3400v2 logins into like the v1 and even today's netgear router 192.168.1.1, ask for user name and password.

      Which one?  (?)  Router? N600.  Security level? I want to upgrade from WEP to WPA2.  At 2.4G my upgrade from WEP to WPA2 does not stay selected.  Although now that I think aobut it,there was no Apply choice as I recall.  Not sure that has anything to do with it.
