Trying to set up WPA2-PSK on a 3Com router (3CRWER200-75). So far I've gone into the router setting and and set up the WPA2 security and it says it's all set up there.

However, when I look up the wireless network on my computer it still comes up as unsecured and it does not prompt me for a password. I have tried the set up and application on both chrome and internet explorer. Do connect to the router via ethernet to apply these settings, and if so to which port on the router?

Also hooked up to a ARRIS TM602G/115 cable modem.

Any help with getting any sort of password set up would be great. Last time I checked there were 11 people on the network...
 
Looking as this picture here http://portforward.com/english/routers/wireless/3Com/3CRWER200-75/3CRWER200-754.jpg (I know it says WEP) are there other boxes when you have it on WPA2 that look the like the "WEP Key 1" "WEP Key 2", etc? If so, the key in the generate field (whether you generated one, or made one up yourself) has to be copied into one of them. Are you remembering to hit apply/restart when you're done?

I know my list seems a little generic, but it's a start. Restarting the router may help to. If you can't figure out how to do it from the browser, just unplug it for 30 seconds or so.
 
Yea i have been hitting apply. There are not multiple fields for WPA2 like for wep so i don't think that's the problem.

Could it be that i'm not using a cable? Also any pictures that would help?

Anyways, might have a fix. The firmware was a major pain to find, especially with HP buying out 3com and their terrible support, but I managed to dredge it up from some dank hold in the web (4shared). Rather than make you deal with them, I reuploaded to my box account. Scanned it online for viruses, came up clean. Feel free to do it again yourself. Lemme know if it doesn't work for whatever reason.

Finally got around to updating the firmware. Once again though I applied the encryption and the router says encryption is on but the network is still showing up as unsecured.
