WPA2-psk vs wpa - psk?
Hello
What is the strongest? Please go to the order:
1 - WEP 64-bit
2 - WEP 128 bit
3 - WPA - PSK
4-WPA2-PSK
5 - WPA - PSK / WPA2-PSK
And which one I should use:
1 AES
2 TKIP
Hello
What security / authentication method that you choose depends on whether or not the network and devices that attempts to connect to the network of the said charge method where you want to. For example, not all devices support connection and WPA2-PSK authentication you will need to use WPA - PSK, etc..
WEP is by far the weakest, and in today's security standards I would never recommend using it. Use the WPA2-PSK with AES if your network and devices supported. If this is not the case, go back to TKIP. WPA2-PSK is out of the question altogether due to device restrictions and or network, use WPA - PSK with AES / TKIP.
AES offers encryption, however not all devices support it. TKIP is a little less strong in terms of encryption, but is widely supported by many devices on the market.
Kind regards

Satellite Pro L300: Could not establish connection using WPA / WPA2-PSK
Hello
I have a Netgear FVG318 router with the new firmware and problems to connect using WPA-/ WPA2-PSK with Realtek RTL8187B integrated.
With the help of WEP that works. I did a complete restore of Vista and installed SP1 + all Windows updates. No change...
Then I tried using a Netgear USB WLAN Stick WPN111--> the same result, works only WEP.
I rechecked the shared key before!
After that I tried with a HP laptop, wonder... everything works! WEP, WPA / WPA2-PSK works! What do you mean?
I think that there is a software problem in Toshiba-Vista version.Do you have any idea? The support has not helped me.
Hello
What you need to do is first of all update the WLan driver and if possible, you should check if the latest BIOS is installed too.
I had similar problem on my A210 and all first I've updated the BIOS, then driver WLan.This helped to establish the WiFi connection.

Satellite L505 - WPA2-PSK does not work, but works of WPA - PSK
Hello
I have a Satellite L505 and I tried to use WPA2-PSK security to connect to my Netgear DGN2000 router, since I read that only this authentication allows speed Wireless-N, but it does not work. I chose it as the mode to use on the router and Windows 7 64 bit on my laptop, so everything should work properly. If I set everything up to use WPA - PSK, then I can connect us, but the connection is terrible, even when I put the phone right next to the router. It indicates the quality of the signal is excellent and that it is connected to 54Mbs, but if I set up a ping to the router I can see over time, it goes up to 4 seconds and continually to expire. This means that the internet is unusable wireless.
For this reason, I was hoping I could get Wireless N work and I hope that the connection would be better. Someone can tell me why WPA - PSK works but not WPA2-PSK? (I tried versions of the AES and TKIP)
Hello
Hmm... You have written anything on your OS... :(
On Windows XP, you need to install the Windows Update KB917021 as you can read here:
http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/917021/I'll try to updated the WLAN driver. You can get the latest version on the Toshiba site.
Finally and above all it s always advisable to update the firmware on your router. You can get on the page of manufacturing of the router where you should find a changelog too.

I am running 2-1 Vista, 1 Window7 laptop
IPhone 2
1 Wii game systemWhen I installed initially the new router today, I installed it with WPA - PSK [TKIP] + security WPA2-PSK [AES] option. When in doing so, the Vista Home Premium (32 bit) would not connect to the internet. He would show local only access.
But when I disable security it can connect to the internet. Rest of my devices are also able to connect to the internet regardless of WPA - PSK [TKIP] + WPA2-PSK [AES] or security number. I am running Vista with SP2. That seems known problem Vista on Sp1. see http://support.microsoft.com/kb/935222.
The network adapter I have is an Atheros AR5007 802. 11a / g WiFi with the version of the driver. 7.3.201.25.
Any help would be very happy... I'm exhausted now try to solve this problem.
SOLVED by updating the driver for Atheros. Atheros AR5007 802. 11a / g WiFi. It is not available on the official website. Check out this forum.

The PC has found the wireless connection and I am able to sign - on with the security key, however, is there no internet access. After a phone call of support Belkin, I was told that my repressive operation, Vista Home Premium (on my PC), needs a driver update to support the security settings WPA/WPA2-PSK (which is how the Belkin router is set for more security, apparently). How/where can I get this driver update? Help, please? Am about to throw computers out the window...

SSID and what windows 7 called wpa - psk [tkip] + wpa2-psk [aes]?
I'm trying to get a new laptop for windows 7 to connect wireless to my existing home network which consists of a computer laptop xp (wireless) and a desktop of vista (cable) and a netgear router.
I'm looking at a dialog box (on the computer laptop windows 7) named "manually connect to a wireless network.
(1) the dialog box wants a "network name". What is often called a "ssid"?
Said (Routeur Netgear my 2), under Security Options ', use "wpa - psk [tkip] + wpa2-psk [aes]", but this isn't an option in the dialog of windows 7. The choices in the dialog of windows 7 are wep, wpa2-personal, wpa-personal, wpa2-enterprise, wpa-enterprise and 802. 1 x. What is windows 7 equivalent of "wpa - psk [tkip] + wpa2-psk [aes]"?
Thank you, Bob

SSID is the name of the network. His need if you manually configure a wireless connection.
WPA-Personal = WPA - PSK (TKIP)
WPA2-Personal = WPA2 - PSK (AES)
http://en.Wikipedia.org/wiki/Wi-Fi_Protected_Access
http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/what-are-the-different-wireless-network-security-methods
This means that you can use or plan on different customers, IE. PC - A uses WPA-Personal while PC - B uses WPA2-Personal, and the router that will allow them to connect assuming the encryption key and password / password is correct. You can probably configure the Netgear for only WPA-Personal or WPA2-Personal. WPA2-Personal is the best from a security point of view. FWIW I have the same settings on my wireless Belkin router, IE. its configured for WPA - PSK + WPA2 - PSK. In my case, I only use WPA2-Personal on my wireless clients and simply never taken need to configured the router to only use WPA2-Personal.

PC Compaq laptop Presario R3000 (AMD) supports WPA2-PSK?
Hi all
I know it's an old laptop (Compaq Presario R3000 (AMD) Notebook PC).
Recently, I upgraded my system from network and start using WPA2-PSK.
I installed the patch from MS http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=1974
However, the drop-down list of my Networking Wireless still doesn't show the option
for wpa2 but wpa.
Can someone tell me the reason? Is it because that which does not support my network card
the new standard wpa2?
Thank you
I think that this driver will take care of the issue...
Yet once, in addition to the driver above you also need to run XP SP3 in order to get the plug in charge WPA2 if this microsoft SP2 WPA2 patch does not work.

How to install authentication network WPA2-PSK on my laptop. I have WPA - PSK appears but WPA2-PSK does not appear in the list of options.
Network connections
Wireless network connection properties
Network authentication options
It's on a laptop running XP. I have other laptops that are not WPA2-PSK authentication option.
Support for WPA2 is not introduced in Windows XP to Service Pack 3 (SP3). The solution to recommend for this is to upgrade your computer to SP3:
"How to obtain the latest Service Pack for Windows XP"
<>http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/322389 >If you happen to be in the Service Pack 2 (SP2), then the second best solution would be to install the following hotfix:

How are added to my network WPA2-PSK authentication settings? I need to log on to my place of work.
original title: WPA2-PSKtblack1970,
Thank you for visiting the Microsoft Answers community forum.This should be something that your wireless adapter on your computer supports, or does not work. It is not a feature of Vista, but the network hardware. When your wireless adapter on your computer sees the router which has the active Protocol, it must ask the key and once offers you the key, it needs to connect. If you do not see this option for your network card, then you should contact the manufacturer.

What are the different wireless network security methods?If you plan to have a wireless network, you must configure the only people that can access your choice. Here are a few options for the security of wireless networks.
Wi - Fi Protected Access (WPA)
WPA encrypts information and it checks to make sure that the network security key has not been modified. WPA also authenticates users to ensure that only authorized individuals can access the network.There are two types of WPA authentication: WPA and WPA2. WPA is designed to work with all wireless network cards, but it might not work with the older routers or access points. WPA2 is more secure than WPA, but it will not work with some older network cards. WPA is designed to be used with an authentication server 802.1 X, which distributes different keys to each user. This is referred to as WPA-Enterprise or WPA2-Enterprise. It can also be used in pre-shared key (PSK), where each user has the same passphrase. This is referred to as WPA-Personal or WPA2-Personal.
Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP)
WEP is an older network security who is still able to support older devices, but it is not recommended. When you enable WEP, you configure a network security key. This key encrypts the information that one computer sends to another computer on your network. However, WEP security is relatively easy to crack.We do not recommend the use of WEP. WPA or WPA2 are more secure. If you try WPA or WPA2 and they do not work, we recommend that you upgrade your network card to those who work with WPA or WPA2.
Authentication of 802. 1 X
802. 1 X authentication can help improve the security of 802.11 wireless networks and wired Ethernet networks. 802. 1 X uses an authentication server to validate users and to provide network access. On wireless 802. 1 X can work with key Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) or Wi - Fi Protected Access (WPA). This type of authentication is typically used when connecting to a network of workplaces.

Broadcom 4313 802.11b/g/n does not not on WPA2-PSK AES encryption.
Hi, I just bought this adapter WLAN HP G62-b13SA Notebook PC is Broadcom 4313 802.11b/g/n his work well on WPA - PSK TKIP, but when I am trying to connect to my WIFI with WPA2-PSK AES or TKIP its not connecting any tried the upgrade and downgrade the driver but still no problem solved. same did the same thing with the ACCESS POINT which is Zyxel G-570. ideas how its going to work or it just does not support WPA2 to all?
I had a similar problem with this network adapter. I could see the networks, the signal strength was excellent, but whenever I tried to connect, it failed. Several times he connected successfully, but the connection lost after a few minutes. In any case, I managed to fix after spending several hours playing with the options on the Advanced page of the driver. That's what I have now:
802.11n preamble: Mixed Mode (this is a must if you are networked mixed g/n)
Afterburner: disabled (not sure about that)
AP compatibility mode: superior performance (I have a router standards)
Bluetooth collaboration: disable (everything started work immediately after I disabled it)
BT - AMP: disabled (not sure about that)
Mixed cell support: disabled (this is not necessary for typical wifi networks)
Technology XPress (TM): disabled (not sure, that's something for the performance of g)
Other options are default values. I use a pilot boarded through Windows Update.

I have a windows xp 32-bit sp3 and a 3CRUSB10075 com 3, which will not recognise wpa2-psk
I havea PC with Windows XP 32-bit SP3 and my 3CRUSB10075 Wireless will not connect to my modem that has wpa2-psk, it does not even as an option
I would hazard a guess that this particular wireless does not support this type of encryption. You should check your documentation and should confirm. You have no other choice than to set your router to a supported type.
I hope this helps.

Computer connect using wpa2-psk, but wifi error detected every 20 seconds.
I have xp sp3 and belkin F7d4101 game adapter, I can connect using wpa2-psk, but wifi protected setup will work not (error found). If I can't use wifi how it stop coming every 20 seconds.
Also the adapter can't access all of my computer or the command prompt. I get to connection 17, bulbs work but the wifi light flashes. (2 lights).
Any help I can get I would be gratefull.
I do not have a web cam, I figured out that in the House use a different configuration. It won't work.
I'm connected because I answer, the adapter, I can't see what about that, I have it plugged into the usb port and it works. I'll try to delete everything on it and start again, but I can't access it from the command prompt or windows workstation.I fixed the wifi window to come every 20 sec with user profile Hive Cleaner and windows zero CONF. fix, I do not know who did the trick but it closed the window boring and stopped my wireless to modify different config (or earlier). -
It's an old Toshiba laptop Satellite Pro M10 with an Intel PRO/wireless LAN 2100 3B Mini PCI adapt (whatever that means!), I did all the updates of Windows, but when I try and establish a connection wifi encryption options of data only from the drop-down are 'disabled' and 'WEP '.
I checked on the Toshiba site and downloaded the latest wifi and internet updates, I even tried Intel Update site, but they have nothing appropriate (something to do with Toshiba, make changes to drivers for Intel do not offer updates).
It connects to the internet without problem if I use a cable, but it's not really practical, wifi would be much better.
Can anyone suggest something to make my laptop use/recognize the WPA2-PSK?
Thank you very much
I talked to Toshiba, very nice chap called Daniel spent 30 minutes on the phone and found a very old and apparently obscure update for me to download. Once this has been done the phone was able to connect to the router WPA2-PSK using WEP. Not too sure exactly what the update does but at least it will now connect to modern wi - fi, even if it is only at 11 Mbit / s. apparently, it's as much as the material can handle!

Windows does not connect to my WPA2-PSK network, please help.
Windows 7 will not connect to my network WPA2-PSK with AES key pairs. The adapter supports the Wireless N mode and the router is configured for that. I removed all of the antivirus solutions, nothing is done and even made some antivirus scans and applied all the updates of windows available. I tried several cards. And I have done all the resets and reset known to man for the cached windows kernel network. The router has no problem with any other device in my house and I have run diagnostics on the router, its status is OK. I played with the IP address and DNS resolution but no progress neither. Can someone help me please? The machine is a HP Pavilion P6550Z.
I just mingled with the Tx and Rx buffers and activated energy saving MIMO, now it connects. I'll post back here if it stops working, thank you all for your help!
