tried setting up the office on WEP en its working though it keeps asking me to recconect and put in the password. its slow on the tab but in my phone the speed is amazing

PLEASE don't use WEP, it is so easily hacked into and it is no longer supported in the standards particularly on wireless-n.
If you are changing the router settings use WPA-Personal/PSK or WPA2-Personal/PSK and with encryption type AES not TKIP and you should be safe secure and connectable. Delete the saved network on Playbook before trying to connect again.

OK, by the way don't be tempted to use the (WPA+WPA2) option

7 makes it easier
go to control panel add remove programs
remove BlackBerry device Communication Components and reboot PC
connect playbook up to it and wait about 5 min to let it self install the newer software
