WUSB600N & WPA2/WPA encryption?

HI -.

I'm setting up a configuration wireless at a friend's House. She bought a Linksys WRT320N Wireless Router & use the WUSB600N USB adapter on old Dell Inspiron 5000, that is running Windows XP.

For some reason that we could only connect the adapter using WEP encryption - it wouldn't connect to the router using WPA2 or WPA encryption. Can anyone think of a reason why this would be? The WUSB600N adapter is supposed to be capable of WPA2/WPA protocols.

Regarding the laptop - I think that she is under XP SP2. The operating system would be the issue?

Although WEP works (its better than nothing)-j' wish to enable WPA or WPA2 encryption.

Thanks in advance for the help.

What version of Windows XP is installed on your computer? Is it Sp1 or SP2 or Sp3... Most of the version of Windows XP SP2 and SP1 does not support WPA or WPA2 Encryption. So in these you need to update your operating system.

Wired computer to the router and open IE and then click on "Tools" and click on "Windows Update" and it will download all the latest security patches on your computer from the Microsoft Web site.

  • 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.

  • Wireless print server has no WPA encryption

    I have a WPS54GU2 print server which works well on my network wireless for a couple of years.  However, I now have a new wireless router and was advised to use WPA instead of WEP encryption.  OK, so I'll change the encryption on the print server and all will be well... isn't it?  Evil.  The print server has no choice of WPA encryption.  All I get are WEP choices.  Site Web of Linksys shows I should be able to select WPA Personal in the wireless security menu, but he's not here.  Any suggestions?  I guess I can put the entire network to WEP, but I'd rather have the extra if possible security.  Thanks for any help!

    WPS54GU2 print server only support Wep. If you want to use this device set the WEP security on the router.

  • 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.

  • How to change the encryption type M252dw printer WPA2 (WPA - PSK) for the WPA used by the router?

    We had to change the type of encryption on our WPA2 WiFi router (LAN setup origin, on which to install and successfully used our M252dw printer) and use simple WPA, to solve some other problems of connectivity.

    NOW, the HP printer, we have (M252dw) apparently does not automatically reset the encryption type.

    Apparently, he has no way to automatically start "from scratch" when connecting to the new configuration of router.

    Even with ALL the rest on the LAN works fine and speaking well, including WiFi laptops and smart phones, the HP printer sees the new name of WiFi SSD connects to the router in order to attempt a connection, accepts the new password WPA, but RETAINS THE WPA - PSK PARAMETER OF CONFIGURATION PREVIOUS.

    We know, because after that the printer fails to connect, print the network SHOWS Test report this known problem in the paragraph of the resolution of the problems, but worthless advice said to "run the setup of wireless network for re - enter your network WPA wireless security password. The WPA authentication on your HP printer has been changed from the default setting. This can cause problems connecting to your wireless network, if your wireless router does not use the same breed of WPA authentication.

    Well, DUH.

    Mind you, there is NOTHING in the post above that says:
    1) go to "this" menu item.

    2) click "this" option to change the encryption method.

    (3) select the method (SSID, WEP, WPA, WPA2) that corresponds to your router.

    ... because... There seems to be NO option ANYWHERE in ANY menu that offers this choice.

    HE DIDN'T THERE HAS NO BUTTON, OPTION, SELECTION, OR ADVICE IN THE MANUAL TO RESET OR CHOOSE WPA!

    There is a checklist wonderfully unnecessary, repeated throughout your manuals and on the site, basically saying

    ' Check the type of printer encryption (WEP, WPA, WPA2, etc.) corresponds to the router.

    Well well... What do you do when you KNOW that it IS NOT?

    Thanks to try at least, I appreciate it.

    Unfortunately, it did not work;

    but it leads to find the answer for later use.

    Summary -

    After selecting
    Printer flow treatment and deleted the saved connection data, an IPv4, subnet mask and default gateway address (router address IPv4) and IPv6 turned power on.

    Then... I did this:

    (1) Went back to and IPv6 turned to back, leaving only ON IPv4.

    2) went back to and returned once again the preferred settings.
    Address: 192.168.254.250

    Mask: 255.255.255.0

    Default gateway: 192.168.254.254

    3) reinforced by the "Wizard" where he immediately found the SSID of the wireless router.

    (4) select the SSID of the router

    (5) when it is asked for the password (which is actually just a 'word' with WPA pass) I got that.

    (6) given the printer attempts to connect and failed.

    WPA - PSK same listed, even noted on the test report from network once more.

    Therefore, no chance after Restore Defaults.

    It really would have been nice if HP had made sure this option actually actually reset * ALL * default settings, including the wiping WPA2 security type.

    (Just for reference, the DHCP range is set to 192.168.254.15 - 192.168.254.47, so that the fixed IP addresses assigned, like this printer, you can assign DHCP to be defined to ensure no changes outside.

    This printer is the FIRST device assigned a fixed IP address, to make sure that nothing else can come into conflict with the IP address and eliminate it as a cause as possible.)

    OK - so after your suggestion, I am inspired to re - enter the menu and look at it again.

    I had already looked through what I have and not able to find the submenu I thought that has been included by HP...

    .. .or I would expect a user was manually choose method/type of security encryption (SSID, WEP, WPA, WPA2)

    .. .or at least handed to "REMOVE/RESET/nothing: Please ask the next router you are trying to connect to use"

    One thing I found there is the option that resembled what I wanted now:

    That seemed to be the best thing after trying to 'Network Defaults' so I did.

    Then did a not through all the steps above, 1-6...

    * SUCCESS *.

    ALSO: The printer is already running on each PC had to be "retired" in Windows

    -According to the right

    -Then follow up

    -Waited for printer not found, click it, and then select

    Thank you HP - I just needed to find out who Reset was correct.


    Now - I humbly suggest stating that in the manual.

    Under the line "Verify encryption type corresponds to router", you could add something simple like:

    "IF it isn't, then select and your printer will automatically ask the next router you are trying to connect with and correspond to this type of encryption."

    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.

  • 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.

  • 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

  • OfficeJet 6500 E709n series cannot be contacted over the network. Reinstalled, rebooted several times.

    Running Win 7/32 on two different computers HP laptop and updates on 2 iPhones and 2 iPad2s. I also have DirecTV whole House wireless set up through this network. The router is an E4200 of Cisco (Linksys), with the latest firmware and software updates, running Mixed Mode WPA2/WPA encryption.

    I installed, removed, rebooted and reinstalled the printer several times and do not see it, other than on the router's routing tables. I am unable to ping and can't see any (other than Cisco) software.

    I have tried to use the installation wizard 'automatic' in the menu of the printer #8, has made 'restore defaults', is 'advanced configuration', IP address and used auto and even with the SSID and key, I'm headed to an IP address that is not even close to be part of my network. I tried manual IP and combination of wireless configuration and put the IP address that shows on the Cisco Routing table. I tried "restore default settings", and then reinstalled the software after you have uninstalled and restarted everything. I tried HP Network Diagnostic Utility, and it can't find any problems on my network, another it does not find the printer.

    Nothing is allowing me to see the printer, except when I connect it via USB.

    Does anyone have any ideas where I can go for an answer?

    I found a solution validated by PrintDoc that worked:

    A static IP address is always a good idea for a printer:

    -Print a the front of the printer Network Setup Page. Note the IP address of the printer.
    -Enter the IP address in a browser to reveal the internal settings of the printer.
    -Choose the network tab, then wireless along the left side, then on the IPv4 tab.
    -On this screen, you want to set a manual IP address. You must assign an IP address outside the range that the router sets automatically (called the DHCP range). If you know what it is, set an IP address outside this range but not exceeding 254 (the last number of the address). If you don't know it, enter the current IP address.
    -Apply the subnet 255.255.255.0 (unless you know it's different, if so, use it)
    -Let the gateway and DNS white. Click on ' apply

    Now, stop the router and printer, start the router, wait, and then start printing.

    After that, you will have to redo 'Add printer' using the new IP address.

    -instead of remake "Add a printer", I was able to change the properties of my current setup and add a new TCP/IP port, using the name of the computer, I had specified in the static DHCP entry in my router. Finally, it worked and I'm now able to print again from my laptop and the application of 'Print-N-Share' on my iPad and iPhone.

    Thanks PrintDoc! You got me most of the way and I managed to finish it.
