Adding a Nook to my network

I need help in adding a Nook to my Wireless Network (7500 Modem).  I think what it boils down to is that the password for the modem will not allow me access with the Nook.  I have tried changing the password several times ;  it has not worked.  Is there any way the modem password requirement can be removed completely?  Or any suggestions on how to solve this problem?

Sounds like you are using the wrong key/password.

Login to the the 7500 as admin and set your own key/password. Then enter the key/password you chose on the wireless devices.

Do not, by any means, totally remove the key/password.   Doing so removes all security from your wireless network (allowing others to see what you are doing) and also would allow anyone within range to connect to and use your wireless network. 

Instead, try change the protocol being used for the security key by logging into the router.   If you have WPA2 available, use that.  If not, WPA, followed by WEP 128-bit.

Post your results and if necessary, we'll try something else.
