What different manual wifi vs wifi-protected setup

I manually configure my wifi router.  When I turn on the MAC filtering, if gives me a warning that I can not use the Installer "wifi-protected.

(1) how different manual wifi vs wifi-protected setup?

(2) why is it using a manual configuration with the installation of wifi protected lockout (green list) MAC filtering?

Thank you

Hi edspyhill09. Yes, it will disable Wifi protected setup because you try to filter the Mac addresses of the devices you want to connect to your network. Only the mac addresses that are listed can connect to your network so it defeats the purpose of having the WiFi enable protected configuration. WiFi protected setup allows users to connect multiple devices to the network and activate encryption of the data by pressing a button which is most of the time on the front panel, or some of it is in the rear panel of the WPS. But WPS does not apply to all devices because some gadgets are not able, only devices that are capable of WPS can take advantage of the WPS feature. Manual WiFi is the classic method to connect to your wifi network. You find the ssid network name and connect to him, if he will ask for a password, then just type the password and voila! You are now connected to your wifi network. I hope this helps you!

  • PLE400, PLW400 and WIFI Protected Setup network printer problems

    Hello

    Well, I have a router Linksys EA4500 with the PLE400 and PLW400 wireless Extenders wireless installed in my house. I put extenders using the utility-Cisco Powerline AV following the directions (same keyword static, PLW400 password entered in) and has increased the range of my router effectively. However, since I installed the PLE400 and the PLW400 I can't get WIFI Protected Setup to work on any of my wireless printers. I have two wireless printers Brother HL-2270DW who stopped working when I installed the extension and cannot be connected to the router, since then I use the WIFI Protected Setup. What the devil?

    I pressed the buttons to reset for 10 seconds on the PLE400 and the PLW400 and then set them to the top and still had the problem. Then I thought that maybe there are any available firmware updates. And there are so I updated the firmware on the PLE400 and the PLW400. Now, everything works fine. >.

  • Web interface of WRT120N show WiFi Protected Setup message repeatedly

    We have a WRT120N already configured and used for 2-3 years, which recently began displaying a message asking me to press the Wi - Fi Protected Setup button on the device. While in this State, work DHCP and wireless connection settings remain the same. It seems that the internet connection works if the router was not in that State when turned on, but not if the router was in this state when it is started.

    A few weeks ago, he did something where the wireless connection on my laptop would display Wi - Fi Protected Setup instead of WPA2 Personal as security, and then the connection would drop after a short period. Turning on the device, and then turn that would set, but does not necessarily solve the current problem. It happened a few times, but not more recently.

    The device is out of range, then the WiFi Protected Setup button has not been pushed back. Before this problem came up, I had downloaded a firmware update, but not him have not applied because the router is difficult to access, and now I'm worried that the device could be unusable if I try to do the update.

    I'm guessing that maybe it's a physical failure due to the humid climate here. Any ideas? Thanks for any help.

    Hard reset the router and reconfigure from scratch.  Once completed and verified working updated the firmware, hard reset and reconfigure back once again.

  • Wi - Fi protected setup with WRT160Nv2 WAP610N

    Hello

    What I want to do is extend my network wireless wireless using this access point. I should be able to press the "Wi - Fi Protected Setup" button on both devices to do this, but this doesn't seem to work...

    Also, I want to connect my router and wireless n access point but the point of access to customers to be G and N.

    # It is not possible. As I mentioned WAP610N isn't a function that connects to a wireless router or connection.

    Dual band access point means that any computer with the adapter Wireless 2.4 Ghz or 5 GHz will be able to connect to it. You need a router or access with Repeater function point or an Expander to expand your wireless network.

  • E4200 Wi - Fi Protected Setup feature

    I want to buy the E4200 linksys wireless router, but I have a question about its Wi - Fi Protected Setup feature. I would like to manually configure the wireless settings of the manual option, the basic page wireless settings web router, in particular, I need, for some reason, to disable the 2.4 GHz radio and I need to put 40 MHz as the width of the channel of the 5 GHz radio, as well as to set the mode of 5 GHz mode only Wireless N I also need to manually set the personal WPA2 as option the encryption method and manually set a random password of 63 characters. Since I have a bu-ray player and a TV that two support Wi - Fi protected setup, and both are capable of handling 5 GHz Wireless-N signal with the 40 MHz channel width, my question is: If, after having made manual changes above in the basic settings in the settings of the router's wireless security and wireless , I try to use Wi - Fi Protected Setup of the router function to add the bu-ray player and the TV network, the router doesn't change my long 63 characters pass phrase and the other wireless settings I changed at the beginning of some other values, which also allows the 2.4 GHz radio that I turned off manually?
    Thank you very much

    Well, then do not use a password of 63 characters long. Which isn't really better securing your network in any case. The password that long would not make a difference in a brute force attack that is extremely likely to occur. Rather an attacker would try to break the 256 key that is derived from this password by using weaknesses in the Protocol.

    For example, if you use WPA2 + AES and TKIP not a strong password of average size of characters may 16 is usually more enough then. Even for 16 characters, a brutal attack against the password is likely and would have taken a long time to succeed.

  • HP Pavilion 23-q110na: HP Pavilion 23-q110na and the user manual wifi signal

    Hi, just bought the above and can only get 4 out of 5 bars on my wifi signal strength even though I'm barely 2-3 m away from my Virginmedia Superhub. I have run the Diagnostics network HP, updated drivers Intel Wireless AC-3160 (for a newer version that offers the HP site) and changed all the power plan for maximum performance for the wifi, nothing helps. Is a signal strength less than optimal usual for this PC? Anything else I can try?

    Also, can someone point me in the direction of a user manual? I have a wireless card Intel 7260 in the laptop that replaces this new PC and thought of it exchange for the 3160 in the Pavilion, but I would like a manual that showed how to go for the opening of the Pavilion to upgrades like this one - or the memory or disk, if I chose to down later on the line.

  • WiFi extender Setup

    Set up the Extender and it works very well on the 2.4 GHz band, BUT can't make it work on the 5 GHz band.

    I have an AT & T ARRIS NVG589 router. Any suggestions on how I can get the 5 GHz band to work?

    It is a relatively new router provided by AT & T.

    It seems that the modem supports 2.4 ghz from what I could find online that is why the 5 GHz range does not work.

  • What is the best way to protect against keyloggers, monitoring tools, remote access, or whatever it is that allows someone else to access my laptop? ___

    History:

    Recently, I've had my laptop taken in charge and had to spend the money to have everything removed and reinstalled XP. I don't want it to happen again.

    Currently, I installed the following:

    • Ad-Aware
    • SUPERAntiSpyware
    • Malwarebytes Anti-Malware
    • Spybot - Search & destroy
    • Command AntiVirus
    • Sygate Personal Firewall

    The question:

    I'm still not convinced that I am protected. Most likely because I'm not.
    An Ad-Aware scan found a tool called "Win32.Monitor.SpyBuddy".
    a few days only after reinstalling XP. There are probably more.
    I don't know that he even went. It just says: its been "Quarantined" and there is no option to remove it.

    Basically, I just want to know that my computer is protected from keyloggers, monitoring, & people tools remote access to my laptop. And I don't want to spend more money.
    How to achieve this?  An answer would be GREATLY appreciated.

    Do not try to rationalize anything. Just tell you what I know and I hope that I will find the absolute best way to keep keyloggers, tools of surveillance, & virus off my laptop in the process.

    You have been very helpful and I thank you.
