Aah, this thread is making my head hurt.  Have you ever connected any mobile device to your WiFi Hotspot?  A laptop or phone, for example?  What's the login name you use?  And what's the password?  That's all it's asking you.  Have you ever connected to WiFi anywhere?  Starbucks?  Coffee houses?  Hotels?  You need two basic bits of information for any WiFi, anywhere.  The name of the network ("SSID") and the password to connect.  If you don't know those, then... yeah... hard to help you.  :(

In Windows it would look like this:



You'd just click on the name of your particular network and enter your password to connect. Again, same info as you'll need for your Amiga: the name, and the password.  If you're connected with a PC you can easily get your Network Properties through the control panel.  This will tell you if you're using WEP, WPA, or WPA2 security, for example.

Just FYI, looks like new Prism2 drivers were uploaded to Aminet yesterday.  Might not help in your particular case (for which I'd recommend just using a wired connection, while you learn), but always good to have the latest version.  ;)
