WAP54G connects with WPA encryption

Hello

I have a WAP54G access point and a laptop ACER 7720 inspired. No encryption and WEP settings don't work very well, but does not have WPA Personal.

I use Ubuntu 8.04 and Vista operating systems, which give the same results.

Are there problems known with this type of encryption, or any less than obvious settings that I may have missed.

My WAP54G is version 3.1 and version 3.05 firmware

The laptop uses a wireless 3945abg card.

A Linux expert has suggested that I have try the driver of wicd, but even if successful it would not solve the problem with Vista.

TIA

Aygulf

The problem you are talking about has been fixed in the version of the firmware 3.04.03

It is available here. This isn't a hacked firmware, this is the latest official firmware for the provided by Linksys WAP54G.

  • Wireless LAN on Equium A210-1AS connection with WPA-TKIP encryption problem

    I have a 1AS Equium A210 with Vista but cannot connect to the internet via a wireless router cable modem NTL using WPA-TKIP encryption and 5600 philips.

    The laptop shows the base station wireless with a beep sound intense but said that the base of the station is not responding or is hidden when I try to connect to the internet.

    I'm using the correct password.
    I am able to connect to the internet via the base station when connected via the ethernet cable. Other old computers connect wireless with no problems.

    I heard that some combinations of chipsets with Vista can be the cause of some of these issues.

    Clear advice or ideas on what I could try to get wireless internet would be greatly appreciated.

    Have you checked to connect the laptop to the router WLan with WPA encryption settings? Please do. You must disable the WLan encryption to test the WLan connection

    If the laptop could connect properly, then encryption is certainly the reasons why the laptop can not establish the WLan.

    Maybe your wireless network card does not like this on the encryption support or you simply have to update the Windows operating system and the driver WLan.

  • Access wifi with WPA encryption Vista giving "access: Local only.

    I've read many threads on a similar situation. I am convinced that the symptom has many different causes. Nothing I've read solves the problem for me.

    I have toshiba vista laptop and struggled until I've decided to return to the original recovery disk from the manufacturer, reloading everything from scratch. still did not help. The use of WEP encryption works, so I don't know the interface wireless on the laptop works. but it is not acceptable that WEP is such a weak encryption - basically no security. try to use the encryption WPA or WPA2, which does not work for vista. laptop is a few feet from the router, so a lot of signal strength. one other non-Vista computer laptop works well. uninstalled the trial version of mcAfee. updated the drivers and software vista for later. assign an ip address to the laptop, and when it starts up, I see that this address is assigned. Disable all the ipv6. disabled the DHCP broadcast stuff. off the vista firewall.  ipconfig/all is shown below, which seems ok to me. never had Norton or symantic is installed. tried to reset the ip stack. Wired ethernet to the router works. just to get the local access only on the wireless with WPA encryption. The router is quite new netgear WNR2000 and also tried a brand new netgear router multiband with identical results.

    Sure could use some help here.

    Hello

    You said that he can connect with WEP but not WPA.

    There is therefore no connection with the router under WPA.

    For as far as the OS is concern that WPA doesn't have a general problem in Win XP SP3, Vista or Win 7.

    Encryption in many cases problems stem from the problem of drivers.

    Quote: "I'm still stuck with a non-working wireless network on my Vista laptop and the place where it is normally used. This means in technical terms.

    For example, there's something special about this wireless source?

    You can try to check the integrity of Vista using the SFC - http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929833

    If I were in that situation, I'll borrow a wireless USB network who knows work and try to make sure that it is not wireless card related problem.

    BTW, have you checked the process that there is no residual "junk" left by the safety test.

    Download it, run it and take a look at changing it running.

  • Satellite C660 freezes when WLan connection to WPA encrypted networks

    Hello everyone

    I have a toshiba satellite C660-A259 (Middle East version).
    The laptop is great, but it has a major problem.
    Whenever I try to connect to WPA / WPA2 networks, laptop computer freezes completely during the connection, dragging me to hard it boot.

    Sometimes it connects to wpa networks then hangs after some time, or with success connects but freezes on stop. However, the laptop connects without problems to networks with WEP encryption, without any security or via ethernet networks.

    The wireless network adapter is Atheros AR9002WB-1NG.
    I tried to update the software for the adapter on your support site, but it did not work, he did the wireless not working not at all, so I used sytem restore to return to normal.

    Please help and thanks :)

    no idea why I am facing this problem?

    Thank you very much

    Elijah

    Hi Elijah

    You can deal with a number of certificate on the laptop.

    If the wireless client is configured to use PEAP Protocol as you suggested the default setting is usually to check the certificate of the server. This would mean that you need to install a certificate on the laptop. However, there should be a setting on the client to disable the server certificate 'validate' If you do not want to (or cannot) to install a certificate on the laptop.

    See attached some screenshots.

  • Tecra T9100: To do wireless with WPA

    Hello
    I would like to take part in our wireless LAN. But it is necessary to have the WPA or WPA2. You have information, where can I find a driver for my laptop Tecra T9100 wlan?

    Hello

    Unfortunately, the new WLan driver will not solve your problem.
    The cipher mode is dependent on hardware (card) and not the software (driver)
    In this case if you want to connect the unit to the WLan with WPA encryption, you must use a new wireless network or WLan USB stick map

  • WEP or WPA encryption

    Today, I got a wifi card for my Tungsten E2.  I downloaded and installed the drivers and it works very well - with an unsecured network.  My home network is set up with WPA encryption, and I can't find anywhere that it is supported.  The only option I have for encryption is WEP.  I need to change my WEP encryption settings to connect to my home network?  I disabled the security on the router to test the connection and it worked - so I don't know that I'll be able to connect to a wifi hotspot.  Thanks in advance for the help!

    Change your router to WEP.  There are two depths of - 64-bit and 128-bit parameters.

    On the Palm, there will be 40 and 104 bit.  They correspond to the 64-bit and 128-bit on a computer.

    Depending on how your router using passwords, it could be a string of hexadecimal numbers or a 'passphrase '.

    For example, if you set your router to use WEP 64-bit, it will have a password to 10 digits (for example a533b6c2d5).  You must search for your network with the Palm, find it, then tell him to use WEP and 40-bit.  It will ask you 10 hexadecimal digits.  Fact.

  • Portege 2010 PP201E - unable to connect to the router encrypted with WPA

    Hello

    I just bought a Toshiba (? 2002) Portégé 2010: PIII 866 MHz/XP... Part number: PP201E-00GPP-EN. support for the Wi - fi network: 802. 11 b

    When I try to connect to the internet using my sky router (WPA / PSK) my Toshiba does not connect because it asks for the WEP.
    I tried to change it on Assistant, but that's it or turn it off.

    I have only one option is to change the router WEP, but I heard it is an old and easily hackable, technology
    In any case, I don't want to mess with my router, another PC wireless and my playstation.
    I looked on update of the driver toshiba but that did not work.

    Does anyone know if there is a updated for my lapptop driver or do I have to buy a USB product?

    Thanking you

    Hello

    Maybe the internal WLan card does not support the newer WPA encryption but only the WEP key.

    The fact is that encryption is hardware related. This means that an update of the driver will not help you. If the hardware does not support WPA, then you need to replace the WLan card or buy a USB WiFi dongle that supports WPA.

    I have thin external USB WLAN key is the easiest solution

  • Satellite L100 does not connect to with WAP encryption

    I just got a new Satellite L100 and I'm trying to connect to my Netgear dg834g router wirelessly. If I disabled security it connects ok, but if I activate WAP message said little or no connectivity. I can connect to the router via a network cable and it's also ok.
    If someone could help?

    Hello

    Where have you enabled WPA encryption?
    On the WLan router or wireless network card?
    If you have enabled encryption on the wireless network card, so you must also configure the WLan router with this encryption.
    But if encryption has been configured on the router, so I guess that the wifi card does not support this encryption and you will need to choose another type of encryption as WEP WiFi.

    Encryption depends on the specification of the equipment and not over WLan driver.
    So if the card doesn t supports WPA is so not much to do.

  • Cannot connect to WPA with Satellite Pro 6100

    Hello

    I have problems connecting to the secure WPA using a Satellite Pro 6100 companies network. I know from Google search the default drivers for the wireless card on the 6100 must be upgraded to WPA compatible. It's a Toshiba Wireless LAN mini PCI Card, and I've already upgraded to the version of the driver 7.82.0.550.
    Even with what I believe to be the correct configuration, this still does not connect to the wireless network. I did in the past, so I know it works, but I do not remember how I fixed it. Anyone know if I missed something?

  • Unable to connect with the MIFI device.

    I have a Verizon Jetpack 890 L mifi device and an older model Dell laptop that is wireless. After spending two hours on the phone with Verizon, finally got the correct IP address for the device to 'connect' with the computer. The States of the computer it is connected to the device, but the device shows that it of just nothing connected to it, have tested the device with a phone and the Xbox and the two front showed connected and functioning with the device. But the computer does not connect to the internet. Help, please!

    The message "the network password needs to be 40bits or 104bits depending on your network configuration. "This may be criteria such as 5 or 13 ascii characters or 10 or 26 hexadecimal characters" means that the system used encryption is WEP (instead of WPA or WPA2).  Although it is the lowest available wireless security, now that I think about it, I'm a little surprised that the mifi comes with a wireless security is enabled.

    There are at least 3 different "passwords" potentially used by your device.

    1. There may be a password that allows the device to connect to cellular service.  As far as I can tell from the manual, it is a "PIN code" that may or may not be required by your cell carrier (i.e., Verizon).  See page 15.

    2. There is a password that gets access to the configuration of the mifi utility.  This is the password that is supposed to be printed on the back of the mifi AND displayed on the LCD when the mifi is turned on.

    3. There may be a password for encryption (or "network key") wireless as the wireless mifi and your computer is configured to use WEP, WPA or WPA2.

    The more I read the manual for this device, I am convinced that the default setting for wireless encryption is 'None' and the password on the back of the device #2 above.  On the other hand, I can't imagine how he could have set himself up for the WEP encryption.

    Here are my latest suggestions.

    1 reset the mifi to factory default.  Beside the decision-making when the power cord is connected is a small button.  With the power on, press and hold this button. The manual says only: "hold."  I would like to keep the button pressed for at least 20 seconds or until there is some indication on the screen that a reset has occurred. You will need a unfolded paperclip to press the button. See http://support.verizonwireless.com/clc/devices/knowledge_base.html?id=50011#alt

    2. make sure that the battery is fully charged.

    3. turn on and confirm that the connection ('up' and 'arrows'), (e.g., 4 G LTE) service and the strength of the signal (bars) are turned on:

    4 wait about 10 seconds and then go to "View available wireless networks," find the one that matches your mifi (check to make sure that you do not have a neighbor with a mifi with a similar SSID) and click on connect.  You should NOT be asked for a password.

    5. open a web browser and enter the address 192.168.1.1 OR vz.hotspot in the address box and click GO.  You should see the following text:

    6. Enter the password of the sticker on the back of the mifi in the box and click on the button "Login".

    From there, you can follow the manual to configure wireless security settings.  Good luck.
