Unsing Netgear Wireless Access Point WG602 v3 with BT Voyager 220V ADSL Router

Has anybody had any experience of using a Netgear wireless WG602 v3
with BT's 220V Router?

My BT 220V router is connected to the microfilter in the phone socket
and the WG602 v3 is then connected to the BT router. I have a USB
wireless LAN adaptor on the pc. This all works ok and I am able to
connect to the internet.

The problem I have is that there is no password protection on it so
anybody within range of my wireless access point can use it to get on
my broadband for free.

If anybody knows how these two can work together and have security so
its not a free access point, I would be extremely grateful to hear from
you.

Many thanks.

You need to set up WPA protection between your Netgear WG602v3 and your
USB wireless adapter using a strong passphrase. See wikis below.
