Connecting an ibook to accesspoint with WPA2-PSK

My Ibook, bought this year, but early (panther 10.x), have problems with connecting to my Dlink accesspoint after setting the security to WPA2-PSK.
Are there any problems with this connection from apples side? The machine is rather new, but I cant get connected ...

WPA with TKIP most certainly does NOT currently provide "good enough security for the time being".
Ref: http://www.cr0.net:8040/code/network/aircrack/
AirCrack is perfectly capably of cracking WPA-PSK using TKIP. It's all about the weakness of RC4 as a cipher. AES is what we truly need. The problem is that we'll have to get Linksys and Apple to stop finger pointing long enough to figure out what the actual problem is and fix it.

Please post if you have WiFi with WPA2-PSK and WEP working on iPod ios4

Quite a few people seem to be having difficulty with getting WiFi with WPA2-PSK and WEP working on iPod ios4. I'd like to know if anyone does have this working. Please let us know iPod model, access point (router) model, and security settings on your setup. I'm reluctant to upgrade if I can't get WiFi because quite a few of my favorite apps need the net. Please do NOT post to this thread if your WiFi is NOT working. Thanks
I have:
1. brand new (not yet even initialized) 32GB iPod Touch
2. iPod Touch 8GB 3rd Gen
3. Netcomm gateway/router/access point with security set as noted above.
Edit: if you don't know what Gen your iPod Touch is, please see:
http://support.apple.com/specs/#ipodtouch
The easiest way to tell 2nd from 3rd gen is that 3rd gen has bluetooth (look in Settings/General -- if Bluetooth is there, your iPod is 3rd gen, if not it's 2nd gen or earler).

Thanks a lot to all who responded. I now have registered and upgraded my brand spanking new 32GB iPod Touch to ios4. Before I updated, I registered the new iPod, set up and checked the WiFi connection as described in my OP (except that it was AES - not WEP as noted above) and it worked just fine. I then updated to ios4 and it still worked fine, with no further input from me. It just connected as it should have after the update and all internet functions connect and work as expected.
To those who have had problems, my sympathy, but the problems are clearly not due only to ios4 -- there has to be something else going on with your connections.

Configuring Aironet 1040 with WPA2-PSK

I am attempting to configure two Aironet 1040 series wireless access points for the first time and am having some difficulty. This office does not have a RADIUS server so I would like to set them up to use WPA2 with a pre-shared key. However just how this is accomplished is not immediately apparent. I have attempted using both the command line interface and the web interface, but I get errors in both places. It doesn't seem like it is all that difficult, we're just talking about a few lines in the configuration file.
This is what I have so far:

OK, I figured out some of what was going on. The admin account was set to read only instead of read/write, and both radios had not been added to my VLAN. Now I have successfully (?) configured WPA2-PSK on both wireless access points, and they are broadcasting their SSIDs, but I am unable to connect to them for an unknown reason. I am prompted for the pre shared key and then the connection fails. Hmm...

WPA2+PSK with local webauth?

Hi all, I'm trying to configure a guest wlan with WPA2+PSK and local webauth. This will authenticate against ISE and once authentication is complete dropped into a authz profile.
This is supposed to be possible per cisco's docs, however when I try to set this up on the WLAN I get the message:
Only PSK can be enabled for WPA with web-auth and Radius Nac.
Well, I've got only WPA with PSK configured. Is there any 'trick' to this config that I'm missing? I've got L2 security set to WPA+WPA2, WPA2 Policy and AES with only PSK configured. Under advanced I've got AAA override and NAC state sent to radius NAC. What else, that should be it right? I've tried it on multiple controllers with the same results every time.

That error is a little confusing and I don't think is a proper description of what the WLC is trying to tell you; there are actually a couple errors you may see depending on the combination of RADIUS NAC with L3 security. Essentially, you shouldn't be able to enable RADIUS NAC if you're configured for a PSK. What exactly are you trying to accomplish? It sounds like you want ISE to perform CWA for your wireless guests, but you mention local webauth. In order to do the CWA, you will use the mac-filtering option for L2 security and set security type to None. This will allow you to specify the RADIUS NAC option correctly.
When you say that "ISE will authenticate the users", how are you planning on doing this with a PSK WLAN, or are you intending that the local webauth will use RADIUS for authentication to ISE? What is the end-user flow or experience you are expecting? ie. user connects to guest, redirects, logs in, gets appropriate access.
Please also post what version of ISE and WLC you are running so we can determine what features will and will not work.

WPA2 PSK Issues

Anyone else having WPA2-PSK issues? My MacBook Pro works flawlessly with WEP but when I recently changes my network over to WPA2-PSK it stopped connecting. I have 5 PC's that connect just fine so I know there's nothing wrong with the settings on my WAP. I did some digging and noticed that after I configure the settings for my network in System Preferences and save it; it lists my network as WPA not WPA2. I thought this just might be a gui bug so I pretty much ignored it. Well I'm guessing it's more than that. I found that if I edit my com.apple.airport.preferences.plist and change the WPA reference to WPA2 it will connect to my network. The problem I have is OS X will change it back to WPA and I will lose connection. I've searched and searched forum after forum and I can't find a solution to my problem. I've reinstalled OS X and that didn't fix the issue. I've had to resort to setting up my 802.11a channel with WEP and my 802.11g with WPA2-PSK. I really want to dump the old WEP key since I now have neighbors within my wireless range.
My router is a Netgear WGR614v2 (no laughing please). Anyone have any suggestion (besides buy a new router)?

I'm new to the Mac world (have linux experience) so I could be wrong on this but isn't the Airport Utility only for configuring Apple's Airport WAP's? I don't think that would do me any good since I'm connected to a third party WAP. Am I wrong?

WPA2-PSK AES on 1231G

I was hoping to get some assistance on getting the 1231g to work with WPA2-PSK (AES). My laptops cannot authenticate using this config but connect fine to the 1242AG. Below are some of the specifics:
1231G
Radio Type: AIR-MP31G
IOS Ver: 12.3(8) JED
Multiple SSID
Encryption: AES
Key Management: Mandatory WPA
*Laptops can connect to SSID with WEP
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I am sorry to say this, but in order to do AES with the AP you are using, you MUST have
either an AIR-RM21A or AIR-RM22A...this ap does not have either one of these radios.
...the following excerpt is from the 12.3(2)JA release notes:
AES-CCMP
This feature supports Advanced Encryption Standard-Counter Mode with Cipher Block Chaining
Message Authentication Code Protocol (AES-CCMP). AES-CCMP is required for Wi-Fi Protected
Access 2 (WPA2) and IEEE 802.11i wireless LAN security. This feature is not supported on
350 series access points.
This feature is supported on these devices:
•1100 series access points (802.11g radio only)
•1130AG series access points
•1200 series access points (IEEE 802.11g and 802.11a radios only with the part numbers
AIR-RM21A or AIR-RM22A)
•1230AG series access points (IEEE 802.11g and 802.11a radios only with the part numbers

Unable to connect to Wi-Fi connection using WPA2 PSK authentication and encryption type TKIP

Original Title: TKIP selection in WiFi network settings
I have a workplace WiFi connection using WPA2 PSK authentication and encryption type TKIP.
On the machine I used to test Windows 10, I had a previous installation of Windows 7 professional which connected to my workplace WiFi using the above settings. After installing Windows 10, my workplace wifi settings were imported and worked fine.
Windows 10 had a system crash, and since I had deleted my previous windows installation, I performed a complete reinstall of Windows 7. However, when I went to install Windows 10 again, I had not taken the time to set up my workplace Wifi on Windows
7 before installing Windows 10. As a result, I had to set up my workplace wifi as a new connection in Windows 10.
When going to set up the wifi connection, the encryption type was grayed out, but appeared to default to AES. Searching the internet suggested that Windows 8.1 did not need a encryption type selected, because Windows could automatically determine
if it was TKIP or AES, hence why the option to select encryption type was grayed out. However, after completing the setup of my workplace wifi, Windows 10 could not connect to my workplace wifi. After restoring Windows 7 with a factory reset, and setting up
the workplace wifi (the encryption type selection was not grayed out and I manually selected TKIP encryption), my workplace wifi was working again.

Unable to connect to home network (WPA2-PSK, works on Windows)

Hello!
I am having problems with connecting to my home network (on a FRITZ!Box Fon WLAN 7360 SL) which uses WPA2-PSK encryption.
Windows works normally so I don't think that it is a router issue.
In addition, I managed to connect to my Universities WPA2 network and another unsecured network without problems.
I tried netcfg+wpa_supplicant, wpa_supplicant on its own and wicd (on a sidenote, wicd didn't even manage to connect to the router when using a cable). None worked.
This is the wpa_supplicant conf file that I am using:
## wpa_aachen.conf
ctrl_interface=DIR=/var/run/wpa_supplicant GROUP=wheel
ap_scan=1
fast_reauth=1
network={
ssid="myssid"
psk=hexcode
proto=WPA RSN
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
pairwise=CCMP TKIP
I am getting an "authentication timeout" error everytime I try. Yes, I double and triple checked the passphrase. I also tried it via hexcode and plaintext passphrase.
Does anybody have any suggestions?

Ive been trying the same thing for several hours googling it etc. wicd doesnt work always ends up with bad password error no matter what..
so.. this worked for me:
get into term as root and type:
NetworkManager start
then it will pop up in the notification area click network settings / wireless /connect to hidden network and type name, pass and it connect just fine..
really simple and it works

Satellite A100-003 WLAN connection timeout(with WPA-PSK)

I have a Satellite A100-003 notebook with preinstalled Windows Vista.
When I try connect to my router with WPA-PSK (TKIP) I have error:
Wireless authentication failed because of a timeout.
My notebook and router configurated correctly!! I installed new intel drivers for 3945ABG chip.
WPA2-PSK and WEP work fine.

Hi
The same happened on my old notebook.
I was not able to establish the WLan connection for longer than 1min with WPA encryption.
I have downloaded the newest Atheros driver and updated everything.
Everything works fine with WEP but not WPA.
Then I have disabled the Windows own configuration option and use the Atheros client utility. Now everything works fine!
I would recommend using the Intel Proset utility and check all possible settings!

Issue connecting touchpad to WPA2 PSK network

I have an issue connecting my touchpad to any WPA2 PSK networks. The SSID is broadcast and other devices can connect but the touchpad errors with "unable to associate" even though I typed in the correct password. Any help is appreciated, and no I do not want to change the network settings since this device is supposed to utilize WPA2.
Post relates to: HP TouchPad (WiFi)

Hi Terabyte,
I don't mean to take over deltatuks thread but as we are having the same issue i'll continue!
I have power cycled the router and turned off/on the wireless on the device. I've just ran the tests and they all passed! including wifi! lol.
Still not working though.
This is very strange

1st gen MBP won't connect to WiFi when WPA2-PSK [AES] security is enabled

Hi all,
I've got a pretty vexing problem involving my old MacBook Pro and my WiFi, and I'm hoping to find an explanation or solution to it. Recently, my husband purchased a brand-spanking new (PC) laptop with n wireless capabilities, and I've been trying to reconfigure my home network so that the router is broadcasting in 2.4 gHz b/g/n mode. When I set the router (a Netgear N600 dual band) to broadcast in "up to 300Mbps" mode, it tells me that "WPA-PSK [TKIP] may only operate at "Up to 54Mbps" (legacy G) rate, not N rate. NETGEAR recommends that you use WPA2-PSK [AES] to get full N rate support."
So, naturally I go and set the security to WPA2, and my 1st gen MacBook Pro (it only has a CoreDuo, and hence, a b/g card) promptly proceeds to spazz out. Sometimes it sees the network, sometimes it doesn't. When it does see the network, the connection times out, and I can never successfully establish a connection. Right now, I've got the Wifi broadcasting up to 300Mbps, but the security is set to mixed WPA-PSK [TKIP] + WPA2-PSK [AES], so I'm not even sure if my husband is getting Wireless-N functionality on his end of things.
Has anyone else had a problem like this, and is there any solution for it? Should I upgrade my wireless card (Can I even upgrade my wireless card???), is it a software issue, etc. I'm aware that there have been a number of issues with wireless connectivity in Mac laptops over the past few years, and I really hope this isn't one of them.
Thanks in advance for your help!

I believe the issue is the fact that the Netgear router supports wide-channel operation in the 2.4 GHz band. This is how they are able to advertize that you can get up to 300 Mbps. Apple computers/routers only support narrow-channels on this band.
What I would suggest is that if the Netgear has an option to both use narrow-channels and WPA2/AES security, to use this combination. Your Mac should be able to connect and his PC should get at least 120-130 Mbps. Note: Although not broadcasting at 300 Mbps, the Netgear will still be operating in the 802.11n radio mode.

Connection with wpa2 fails

Yesterday, I tried to secure my airport network (linksys router) with WPA2. My ibook is now connected, but I didn't succeded with my imac G5 (OS 10.4.10). Is gives an error message. I tried to delete and create again a network but, the airport dialog window of network ( in preferences) is missing the + and - to create and delete a network. It is a little bit messed up: it shows just my own network and the dropdown menu to choose the network is laying over the text.
I have done a clean installation, but it didn't help. Please, give me some advice!

Hi hazelaar & Welcome to the Discussions!
When you say a clean install, was that a Fresh Install with Zeroing the HD, or an Archive & Install which preserves users settings & APPs, etc.?
I don't see any + or - on my Network>Airport page/window!?
The create may just be a semantics problem, you don't "create" networks in that window, but can add a name of an existing network to join. There is a Create Network, (if you checked allow this computer to create networks), up under the Airport Icon in the Menu Bar, but that is to create a network on your machine for others to join.

I have a 3rd generation iPod Touch and just did the update to IOS 5. Now I can't connect to my Netgear wifi router. My iPhone connects fine along with all of my other laptops etc. I have the router set with WPA-PSK [TKIP] security and an access list.

I have a 3rd generation iPod Touch and just did the update to IOS 5. Now I can't connect to my Netgear wifi router. My iPhone connects fine along with all of my other laptops etc. I have the router set with WPA-PSK [TKIP] security and an access list. I've confirmed the mac address is included on that list and that the password is correct. Under choses netwrok I select the network and it just goes into a spin. I have tried removing the password and the access list settings and it still will not complete the connection to the router thus no internet access. The routers firmware is also up to date. This thing worked fine before this update and I've already tried to restore from backup. Any ideas or is the wifi nic bad in this thing with the new apple firmware update? Any fix?

Thanks Bob, I don't know why but it all of a sudden worked a few days later. It's a mystery but at least problem solved.

Ipad2 dropping connection with WPA2

I recently changed my FIOS connection to WPA2, and my Ipad 2 keeps dropping connection after a few min of play. I have no issues with my Ipad 1, Iphone, and Itouch connecting to it. It seems to only happen with the Ipad2. My wireless is set up with WPA2 AES encryption using the standard FIOS router. It is not a distance from router issue either. I have been right next to the router with all the devices and still only have the issue with the Ipad2. I restarted the router, deleted the connection and reconnected to the router also.

IPad dropping WiFi every few seconds after updating iOs to version 5.x
I have the same problem with my iPad 2. It was working fine when my iOS was v.4.3.3. After updating the iOs to version 5.0.1, I kept dropping my WiFi & Internet signal. I am using WPA2, and my SSID is OFF (does not broadcast).
To solve the problem, I updated iOs to v5.1. Same problem occurred. I tried using the OpenDNS as suggested.. Did not work too. WiFi stays on for 5-10 seconds before saying signal was lost. Tried to log on again - iPad replied that I cannot join the network. Tried soft & hard reset, forgetting network settings, resetting all network Setting, etc - still nothing works.
Finally, out of frustration, I turned ON my router's SSID (broadcasting openly). Guess what? My iPad WiFi is working perfectly without any dropped connection.
Please try this quick solution. It may just fix your problems. I realized that this solution may be effective for some iPad users out there. But there is a chance it may not work with others (I tried almost all suggestions in other forums - ranging from updating the wireless router firmware, using an OpenDNS, doing a soft & hard reset of the iPad, etc. Still, nothing worked for my iPad - except this simple SSID setting). Hopefully, this additional solution might help someone. Good luck :-)
