Changing wifi encryption from WEP to WPA2 in Win7 on Acer laptop
As advised by many sources, I am trying to change wifi encryption from WEP to WPA2 to help prevent 'piggy-backing' by others (which I believe has occurred). I have configured my router and it now shows WPA2 but on my laptop it appears (somewhat surprisingly!) that Win7 only supports WEP (the only option, apart from 'open', shown in the relevant drop-down menu).
I have checked and the 'Network Adapter' is the latest available.
Please tell me (not very computer-literate!) what I should do.
Thanking you in anticipation of a an early and positive response,
