  Configure in personal Mode

  The term made personal mode refers to products that are tested to be interoperable in mode PSK only of operation for authentication. This mode requires manual configuration of a PSK on the AP and clients. PSK authenticates users via a password or code identification, both the client station and the AP. No server authentication is required. A client can access the network only if the client password matches the AP password. The password also provides the numbers that TKIP or AES uses to generate an encryption key for encrypting data packets.       Personal mode is intended for SOHO environments and is not considered safe for enterprise environments. This section contains the configuration that you need to implement WPA 2 in personal mode.

• mixed mode wpa2/wpa vs WPA2 security

  What is the advantage of using the security setting "wpa/wpa2 mixed mode" vs wpa2? Mixed mode is set as a single parameter as wpa2 security?

  Thank you

  In mixed mode, you can connect with WPA/TKIP and WPA2/AES. TKIP is not as safe as AES. Use only if possible ESA. However, some former clients wireless are WPA/TKIP alone which can you leave no choice but to use mixed mode.

  In addition, 802.11n only supports AES for 54 Mbps speeds.

  Except if you must use mixed mode use WPA2/AES only.

• WPA2 key works on computers 1 / 3

  Hello. WRT54GC. 1 vista laptop with wifi built-in and 2 workstations with adapters wi - fi USB, xp sp2. maybe 3.

  goes to the IP address and the router configuration is entered. changed to wpa2 and put in password. on the laptop, looked for new wi - fi connections, he finds the router, entered the password and everything worked. On desktop computers, search of new WiFi connections, is the router. He asks the wpa2 key, and it's not accept it.  does not connect. I'll return to router set up, make an open connection, then I can communicate with desktop computers. all of the suggestions. Thank you.

  Bushwacker

  If you cannot use WPA2 then use WPA instead. Don't use WEP. WEP is almost as good as no security. It is easily broken.

  On the router, select "WPA2 Mixed Mode" or "WPA2 Personal" and TKIP + AES for encryption. (The exact way depending on your firmware on the router). Then enter a good password.

  On the computer, select WPA - PSK and enter the same password. See if you can log in now.

  If this is not the case, select "WPA Personal" on the router with a good password. Same settings on the computer. It should work now.

  WPA is much better then WEP. Do not use WEP unless absolutely necessary. If you use WEP, you must enter the first key of the router on the computer. However, with WEP be prepared that someone may be able to hack your network. Do not have confidential personal information on any computer connected to a router wireless only protected by WEP.

• Linksys E4200 WPA2 TKIP

  In all my previous routers, I was able to configure security wireless WPA2 TKIP + AES mode...  But I can't understand how to do this with the E4200 (does me not such an option).  Is it possible to do that...?   Or is that what "WPA/WPA2 mixed mode" is?

  Reason I ask is, I want to connect my PSP to my wireless network, but there must not be TKIP, AES.  On my old Wireless Setup, I could do with the WPA2 (TKIP + AES) setup.  I fear that if I use the E4200 WPA2/WPA mixed mode, which is the WPA2 security device?  (WPA being low and "crackable"?)   Or what is my old wireless routers are misleading and their '+ TKIP' was really WPA security?

  I guess I'm too paranoid, but I'd rather be safe than sorry...    If I put in place access as guest in the E4200, which may be WPA mode, without changing the security of my private network?    Or should I set up the MAC filter and mixed mode?

  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  WPA/WPA2 mixed mode is exactly what you want. It's actually the same setting for WPA2 with "AES + TKIP" you had before.

  WPA uses TKIP.
  WPA2 uses the more secure AES but can be configure backward compatible to accept WPA/TKIP connections as well.

  WPA/TKIP is still quite safe. If you must use it, use mixed mode. This should be OK this is not as if it's cracked WEP security quickly and easily.

  The MAC filter will do nothing for your safety. It will no more make sure mixed mode.

  OK, let's do this easily.

  If independent IOS, this is what you want the PA to start with, the more simple (and fast) to get this race is to format the flash of the AP (command: format flash :).)

  When formatting is finished, load the standalone IOS using the method of the Mode button.

• Can I use Speedgrade as a standalone... I edit with Avid Media Composer

  SpeedGrade as long as independent... I edit with Avid Media Composer.

  I tried to load my sequence in the first but the 'link Direct to Speedgrade' has not been stressed.

  SpeedGrade works great as a standalone version of ranking. In this mode, you can use tell a NLE EDL or import a long clip and use scene detection to break up in scenes/camera-cuts and such. In this mode, it creates its own project files, the .ircp ones.

  You can also stand-alone/mode natively just to create a new project, add clips to a timeline and ranks, exporting separate clips or as a sequence.

  The link Direct with Premiere Pro process is a little different... you need to start with a project in Premiere Pro, have direct comparative version of SpeedGrade and then use the command "send direct SpeedGrade" of Premiere Pro, OR... to within SpeedGrade, use the 'Open' option... «to navigate to a PrPro of dialog boxes file, with the end of .prproj, project and opened in SpeedGrade.» When you're done working, you can then either simply save your work which is then saved in the project file PrPro and exit, or save the file and return to the PrPro.

  Using a project file PrPro in the Di-Link mode, many functions for SpeedGrade are "grayed out", as say something on the timeline itself... you cannot change the length of a clip or even add a layer of ranking to the timeline. To do no more needs to be done in PrPro. To have another above - to-claw ranking layer mode Di - L, you add an adjustment layer on the clip/s under PrPro, then use PrPro as a layer of ranking.

  So from CMA, you should be limited along with the media EDL import, or export the sequence of the CMA and import it in Sg do scene detection, then changing the final file of: Sg.

• Satellite L850-18 t has problems to connect to new wireless router

  Hello

  I have a serious question that, at the present time, he cannot know. Basically 2 days ago I bought a new router because the other more old has stopped working. And I bought Tenda router. Since that day I have problems connecting with my Toshiba Satellite L850-18 t - I have never had similar problems before.

  I put the security of the router for wpa - psk with aes encriptación mode option. The laptop connected and worked fine, but the next day, he has not suddenly connect more. So I went to check the option, everything was allright. Troubleshooting gave me the following error: "problem with wireless adapter or access point. I tried to reboot wlan driver, but nothing happened. The only thing that seems to help is to change the security WPA2-PSK mode (or vice versa), restart my laptop and it connects then.

  Anyone have some clue what happens? It must be something with my laptop settings, because all other devices (another computer toshiba laptop but older, a PC and android devices) work perfectly.

  What I see is that we have same wireless Chipset, Tenda use Ralink or Broadcom chipsets, which are compatible with our wifi cards, then I would tell you my opinion do 1st updated drivers on your laptop, I use the latest x 64 win10, atheros version drivers 10.0.0.326, then go and upgrade your routers firmware! I don't know it will solve your problem, by the way check firmware of the laptop is the last 6,80 I think!

• 2 D3 and a wifi edition

  I look around this forum, try to find a thread on the problems of wifi. I didn't, and I don't know that I missed, so I apologize if this has been covered before. (actually surprised it wasn't a bunch already also on droidforums.net)

  Wife and I got our new D3 on Monday 8/15. Passage the D1. Only real issues we have encountered are wifi connectivity and the terrible battery life. I am more concerned about the wifi at the moment.

  My phone connects, blue wifi icon in the notification bar, settings tell the signal strength is excellent. But 98% of the time or the browser market will connect. The few times that there, it took forever. My wife's phone is yet to happen. Just connect and instantly disconnects constantly. I ran for the years WPA2 wireless security. Our D1 never, never had a problem. I even fire my D1 upwards and it instantly connected again.

  I have reset the router. I pulled piles on the two D3. I did a factory reset on my phone last night. (maybe the improved battery, not sure) but wifi problems have made no improvement at all.

  Everyone knows these problems of wifi? If so, a fixed? Or should take us our Verizon phones?

  Thanks for any help or idea.

  Try changing your router to WPA2, WPA (or WPA - WPA2 Mixed Mode). If it works, you have the same problem that had my first D3. I couldn't not all devices to see my D3 as a hotspot and connect more than 2-3 seconds before falling. I could also get it to shoot whatever it is my router with WPA2 set with any form of reliability. The first request would work, would not be the next 10, then then next couple would be... It was boring. Change to WPA to be fixed, but should not have to do. The question of the access point has been the water drop and I introduced it. I have diagnosed as a bad Wifi chip in the D3 and door to Verizon and let them mess with it for 45 minutes before they agreed it was a bad chip and brought a new from the back who immediately started working as a hotspot, then when I got home turned my router to WPA2 only and it has always worked well. I found a few others who had the same symptoms and traded it to solve their problems, too. Apparently it is not a widespread problem, but not an isolated, either. You probably have the same problem, as I have a dozen other devices, including a Droid X and X 2, who had no problems with WPA2.

• HP Deskjet 3050 - unable to connect to the WPA secure wireless network

  Hello

  My first post here so please excuse any misstep on my part.  I bought this HP Deskjet 3050 a week ago and have since been war with it.  I would be really grateful if someone could possibly give advice on how I can solve this problem.

  I am unable to connect the printer to my secure wireless network, even if the other computers, cell phones, etc. are connected without problem.  I tried WPA, WPA2 and WPA2-Mixed modes with the same failure security. Specifically, the 66% reached Connection Wizard, then displays the error that the wizard can not find/network printer.  If I disable the security, the printer connects very well.

  I use a Linksys WRVS4400N router with firewall and associated firewall disabled settings.  The router broadcasts on 802. 11 g / N mixed mode.

  I install the software provided on the CD for installation on a Windows XP SP3 System.  I confirmed that the PC and the printer are connected to the network are the same.

  The issue as well, if you will allow me: I have not yet tried these drivers, but I see there are any updated drivers for the printer in date from 14/12/2010.  The release notes indicate the improvement of networks, but do not develop beyond that.  Does anyone know if there was a known problem with the connection to secure networks that has now been corrected?

  Finally, just a note that I am partially blind and using a screen on all systems reader.  I'll try my best to be as helpful as I can to please forgive me if I can't find the settings, etc. on screen and sometimes need help for a little more detail.

  Thanks in advance for your help, I really enjoyed.

  Have a nice day,

  All the best for now and take care,

  Hussein.

  It is not the fact that it is impossible, is the fact that this was not done, yet.

  Hello

  first of all, my apologies for the delay getting back to you.  Poor health means that I had little time or want to do great thing on the side of the computer of htings.

  In any case, I am please to say the problem with the HP 3050 failing to connect to my network is now resolved.  There seems to be a bug with the installer, and that seems to include the version the most recent publication Dec 2010.

  To resolve this problem, I did the following:
  1. disable all security for the network options, so it's just an open network.
  2. connect the HP 3050 to the network by using the installation wizard. This time it connected OK for me.
  3. Locate the IP address of the printer.  I used the table of customer list accessed by my router interface. You may be able to get this through the printer on the menu screen, but as I am partially blind, it wasn't an option for me.
  4. Enter the control panel of the printer to http://ip.address.of.printer for example http://192.168.2.108
  5. under Advanced options, configure the network settings, including the password and the Security Protocol.  Don't forget to enter the SSID of the network exactly as it is configured on the router.
  6. apply settings, disconnect from the control panel of the printer.
  7 log in the router configuration panel and re-apply the security options.  Make sure they match these match those entered for the printer.

  I hope it will be useful to others in the same position.

  Thanks again for your time.

  Best,

  H.

• Unable to connect to a network printer, but can see and discover

  I'd appreciate any help with this: I have exhausted my Google searches for most of the day, and Microsoft support articles are of course a great help.

  The problem: I have a printer installation on one of the XP Home computers in our home network (all the XP Home computers). I am trying to connect to this printer from another computer, but I'm unable to add through the "Add printer" Wizard While I can see the printer in the list of printers on a network (including two other printers on other machines that work), when I try to connect to this particular printer in question, I am struck with a challenge to connect with what seems to be the guest account on the computer. There is no password for this account so I leave the password blank, and I then told me that I do not have sufficient permissions. I don't know what to do.

  A few pieces of my Google-ing info that may be useful:

  (1) I made sure that the guest account is enabled and even perform the active command of the net user on the computer in question.
  (2) I use Windows Firewall and I said to turn on the printer and file sharing and have exceptions for such.
  (3) I use Microsoft Security Essentials.

  (4) given that it is XP Home of course I can't access everything related to security or other policy.

  In addition, whenever I try to access this computer on the Working Group, it says I have "insufficient permissions". I don't know what it means that I've never been specified no restrictions when I ran the Network Setup Wizard.

  Windows networking works better if you have matching user accounts password on each machine rather than try to rely on the guest account (which is a security hole).

  See the following tips from the old MS MVP Malke.  He's old, but it's always good.  Not everything can be applied to your situation; Take the parts that do.

  The best and simplest is to buy a wireless router. This way you get Internet connectivity both machines and the added benefit of security more between you and the Internet. Then you configure your network wireless safely, and then you configure file/printer sharing. Here is information on the implementation of a router and also in networking. It seems long, but don't be intimidated. Setting up a router and the LAN of sharing between two computers takes about 15 minutes.

  The router configuration

  Setting up a router is simple enough. Normally, you run the CD that came with the router and follow the instructions. If you're running Vista, maybe the CD that came with the router does not work; I do not know this. But you can set up the router without the CD. Note that if you have Internet cable for the connection you have just set up the router to DHCP (or there may even be a choice of cable to choose). If you have DSL Internet, you select TRP usually and enter the username and password you selected when you initially set the DSL connection. So:

  1. turn off the power to your cable modem.

  2. attach a cable (usually supplied with the router) course Ethernet cat5e Internet/WAN port of the router to the Ethernet port on the cable modem.

  3. connect the ethernet cable cat5e from the network card in your computer to one of the ports on the router. If you do not have an ethernet cable (because you were using USB), you will need to go to the store and buy a.

  4. turn on the cable modem. After that all the lights are on, turn on the router.

  To configure the router:

   

  Have a computer connected to the router with an ethernet cable. Examples given are for a Linksys router. See the manual of your router or the router mftr's Web site. for the parameters by default if you don't have a Linksys. Open a browser such as Internet Explorer or Firefox and in the address bar type:

  http://192.168.1.1 [Enter] (it is default IP address of the router, which varies from router to router then check your manual)

  This will bring you to the login screen of the router. The default username is blank and the Linksys default password is "admin" without the quotes. Enter this information. You are now in the configuration of the router utility. Your configuration utility may be slightly different from mine.

  Click the Administration link at the top of the page. Enter your new password. MAKE A NOTE SOMEWHERE THAT YOU WILL NOT LOSE. Re-enter the password to confirm it, and then click Save settings at the bottom of the page. The router will reboot and show you the box of connection again. Do not fill in the user name and put it in your new password to enter the configuration utility.

  Now, click on the link wireless at the top of the page. Change the network name (SSID) wireless by default to something, you'll recognize. I suggest that my clients not use their surname as the SSID. For example, you might want to name your network wireless network "CastleAnthrax" or similar.

  Click on save settings and when you get the prompt that your changes were successful, click the wireless security link which is just beside the Basic Wireless Settings link (where you changed your SSID). If you have a newish computer, you will be able to affect security WPA2-Personal Mode. Do this and enter a password. The password is what you enter on all computers that are allowed to connect to the wireless network. MAKE A NOTE SOMEWHERE THAT YOU WILL NOT LOSE.

  At this point, your router is set up and if the computer that you use to configure the router will normally connect wireless, disconnect the Ethernet cable and wireless of the computer should see your new network. Enter the password you created to join the network and start surfing.

  B. file/printer sharing of

  Excellent, comprehensive, but easy to understand article on sharing files/printer under Vista. Contains information about sharing printers and files, and the folders:

  http://TechNet.Microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb727037.aspx

  For XP, start by running the Network Setup Wizard the on all machines (see warning in section A below).

  Problems sharing files between computers on a network are usually caused by 1) a misconfigured firewall or a firewall neglected (including a dynamic firewall in a virtual private network); or (2) inadvertently run two firewalls such as the firewall of Windows and a third-party firewall. and/or (3) do not have accounts to the same users and passwords on all computers in the workgroup. (4) tries to create actions where the operating system does not.

  A. configure the firewall on all machines to allow traffic to local area network (LAN) as being approved. With the Windows Firewall, it means which allows file sharing / print on the Exceptions tab normally run the XP Network Setup Wizard will take care of this for these machines. The only "witch hunt", it will turn on the XPSP2 Windows Firewall. If you are not running a third-party firewall or you have an antivirus with "Internet Worm Protection" (like Norton 2006/07) which acts as a firewall, you're fine.  With a third-party firewall, I usually set up the allocation of LAN with an IP address range. E.g. would be 192.168.1.0 - 192.168.1.254. Obviously you would substitute your correct subnet. Do not run more than one firewall. DON'T STOP FIREWALLS; CONFIGURE THEM CORRECTLY.

  (B) to facilitate the Organization, put all computers in the same workgroup. This is done from the System applet in Control Panel, the computer name tab.

  C. create the counterpart of the user accounts and passwords on all machines. You do not need to be logged into the same account on all machines and assigned to each user account passwords can be different; accounts/passwords just need to exist and to match on all machines. DO NOT NEGLECT TO CREATE PASSWORDS, EVEN IF ONLY OF SIMPLE. If you want a machine to boot directly to the desktop (a particular user account) for convenience, you can do this. The instructions on this link work for XP and Vista:

  Set up Windows to automatically connect (MVP Ramesh) - http://windowsxp.mvps.org/Autologon.htm

  D. Si one or more of the computers is XP Pro or Media Center, turn off Simple file sharing (Folder Options > view tab).

  E. create share as you wish. XP Home does not share the users directory or the Program Files, but you can share folders inside those directories. A better choice is to simply use the Shared Documents folder. See the first link above for more information on Vista sharing.

  F. you have the job of file sharing (and tested by exchanging a file between machines), if you want to share a printer connected locally to one of your computers, share of this machine. Then go to the printer mftr Web site. and download the latest drivers for the correct system. Install them on the target machines. The printer must be collected during the installation procedure. If this isn't the case, install the drivers and then use the Add Printer Wizard. In some cases, printers must be installed as local printers, but it is outside this response.

  3. connect the ethernet cable cat5e from the network card in your computer to one of the ports on the router. If you do not have an ethernet cable (because you were using USB), you will need to go to the store and buy a.

  4. turn on the cable modem. After that all the lights are on, turn on the router.

  To configure the router:

   

  Have a computer connected to the router with an ethernet cable. Examples given are for a Linksys router. See the manual of your router or the router mftr's Web site. for the parameters by default if you don't have a Linksys. Open a browser such as Internet Explorer or Firefox and in the address bar type:

  http://192.168.1.1 [Enter] (it is default IP address of the router, which varies from router to router then check your manual)

  This will bring you to the login screen of the router. The default username is blank and the Linksys default password is "admin" without the quotes. Enter this information. You are now in the configuration of the router utility. Your configuration utility may be slightly different from mine.

  Click the Administration link at the top of the page. Enter your new password. MAKE A NOTE SOMEWHERE THAT YOU WILL NOT LOSE. Re-enter the password to confirm it, and then click Save settings at the bottom of the page. The router will reboot and show you the box of connection again. Do not fill in the user name and put it in your new password to enter the configuration utility.

  Now, click on the link wireless at the top of the page. Change the network name (SSID) wireless by default to something, you'll recognize. I suggest that my clients not use their surname as the SSID. For example, you might want to name your network wireless network "CastleAnthrax" or similar.

  Click on save settings and when you get the prompt that your changes were successful, click the wireless security link which is just beside the Basic Wireless Settings link (where you changed your SSID). If you have a newish computer, you will be able to affect security WPA2-Personal Mode. Do this and enter a password. The password is what you enter on all computers that are allowed to connect to the wireless network. MAKE A NOTE SOMEWHERE THAT YOU WILL NOT LOSE.

  At this point, your router is set up and if the computer that you use to configure the router will normally connect wireless, disconnect the Ethernet cable and wireless of the computer should see your new network. Enter the password you created to join the network and start surfing.

  B. file/printer sharing of

  Excellent, comprehensive, but easy to understand article on sharing files/printer under Vista. Contains information about sharing printers and files, and the folders:

  http://TechNet.Microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb727037.aspx

  For XP, start by running the Network Setup Wizard the on all machines (see warning in section A below).

  Problems sharing files between computers on a network are usually caused by 1) a misconfigured firewall or a firewall neglected (including a dynamic firewall in a virtual private network); or (2) inadvertently run two firewalls such as the firewall of Windows and a third-party firewall. and/or (3) do not have accounts to the same users and passwords on all computers in the workgroup. (4) tries to create actions where the operating system does not.

  A. configure the firewall on all machines to allow traffic to local area network (LAN) as being approved. With the Windows Firewall, it means which allows file sharing / print on the Exceptions tab normally run the XP Network Setup Wizard will take care of this for these machines. The only "witch hunt", it will turn on the XPSP2 Windows Firewall. If you are not running a third-party firewall or you have an antivirus with "Internet Worm Protection" (like Norton 2006/07) which acts as a firewall, you're fine.  With a third-party firewall, I usually set up the allocation of LAN with an IP address range. E.g. would be 192.168.1.0 - 192.168.1.254. Obviously you would substitute your correct subnet. Do not run more than one firewall. DON'T STOP FIREWALLS; CONFIGURE THEM CORRECTLY.

  (B) to facilitate the Organization, put all computers in the same workgroup. This is done from the System applet in Control Panel, the computer name tab.

  C. create the counterpart of the user accounts and passwords on all machines. You do not need to be logged into the same account on all machines and assigned to each user account passwords can be different; accounts/passwords just need to exist and to match on all machines. DO NOT NEGLECT TO CREATE PASSWORDS, EVEN IF ONLY OF SIMPLE. If you want a machine to boot directly to the desktop (a particular user account) for convenience, you can do this. The instructions on this link work for XP and Vista:

  Set up Windows to automatically connect (MVP Ramesh) - http://windowsxp.mvps.org/Autologon.htm

  D. Si one or more of the computers is XP Pro or Media Center, turn off Simple file sharing (Folder Options > view tab).

  E. create share as you wish. XP Home does not share the users directory or the Program Files, but you can share folders inside those directories. A better choice is to simply use the Shared Documents folder. See the first link above for more information on Vista sharing.

  F. you have the job of file sharing (and tested by exchanging a file between machines), if you want to share a printer connected locally to one of your computers, share of this machine. Then go to the printer mftr Web site. and download the latest drivers for the correct system. Install them on the target machines. The printer must be collected during the installation procedure. If this isn't the case, install the drivers and then use the Add Printer Wizard. In some cases, printers must be installed as local printers, but it is outside this response.

• XP SP3 laptop computer connects to various WiFi hotspots but not to an individual.

  Just upgraded to Verizon MiFi 2200 MiFi 4620 the personal hotspot.  Our other Office XP SP3 computer, a Windows 7 laptop and Tablet Android ASUS everything automatically detected and entering the network key/password, all connected to the hotspot and the WWW.

  Fortunately, the XP SP3 laptop connects to other WiFi hotspots and will always connect to the MiFi 2200 old if it is powered even if, of course, he cannot access the WWW, because Verizon's network no longer recognizes the 2200 due service is transferred to the new 4620 MiFi.

  The XP SP3 laptop detects the new hotspot very well.  The command 'View available wireless networks' shows the new hotspot, but when 'Connect' is attempted he goes just in the cycle to appear in the connection, but returned eventually to view available wireless networks.  The 'Connect' button is available, implying that it would connect so click on new.

  Use the same settings (SSID, password, encryption, etc) for the device problem than others who work as they should.  It seems to be an incorrect setting or adjustment in the laptop but I can not understand that one.  I compared the services running on two XP machines and have found no obvious inadequacy.

  Advice?

  Thank you!

  When you say that the new device has the same encryption, do you mean that you know that both old and new devices use the same type of encryption (for example, WPA2, WPA, WPA-TKIP, etc.)?

  I noticed the following two statements in the Guide of the user for the MiFi 4620 L (page 30)

  • WPA/WPA2 Personal joint (safer, less compatible with older devices)
  • IMPORTANT you must use the profile secured with WPA/WPA2 Personal Mode security settings mixed when possible.

  Suggesting that the MiFi 4620 can by default that set... and that the hardware in your computer laptop problem is one of the 'old' devices that is not compatible with this setting.

  Just as an experiment, temporarily configure the MiFi to 'Open' (see pages 30 et seq.) and see if your laptop can connect.
