E63 WPA2 Personal + AES

Hi,
I have linksys wrt54GL router at home, wifi is set to WPA2 Personal + AES. I cannot connect to wifi with e63 phone. I have e72 also and it connects without any problem. Could someone post step by step tutorial?
Solved!

Netctl and WPA2 Personal AES, problem with authentication

I having trouble to connect to my WPA2 Personal 5ghz wireless AES (only) network using netctl. When I were using wicd it wasnt any problems. I assume there is something wrong in my profile but i cant find out what.
My config /etc/netctl/wlp4s0-limbo2

I have tried both with the obfuscated password using wpa_passphrase and the one in clear text.
I should also mention that i have no problem connecting to my WPA2 Personal 2.4ghz wireless TKIP (only) network.

limbo is the network i try to connect to, but it says it doesnt support HT PHY which has to do with 5GHz network? So it seems like it not using the correct drivers? The broadcom-wl drivers are installed and loaded into the kernel.
wpa_supplincant only shows me three available drivers: wext, nl80211, wired. Shouldnt it be possible to select the broadcom drivers?

What's the security difference between WPA and WPA2 Personal?

In order to get my G4 iMac (OS 10.4.11) onto my new AEBS(b/g/n) wi-fi network, I had to drop the network security down from WPA2 Personal to WPA/WPA2 Personal.
What are the potential security risks in this mode? I know that WEP is no longer secure, so I'm concerned about WPA also being vulnerable.
If there's a good online explanation of these security differences (not necessarily Apple-only), you just give me that link.
Thanks

Hi,
Summary:
1.WPA2 is the improved version of WPA
2.WPA only supports TKIP encryption while WPA2 supports AES
3.Theoretically, WPA2 is not hackable while WPA is
4.WPA2 requires more processing power than WPA

Need CLI commands for WPA2 Personal Mode

I've seen this example, but I need the CLI the gui generates. Can anyone help out please?

Configure in Personal Mode
The term personal mode refers to products that are       tested to be interoperable in the PSK-only mode of operation for       authentication. This mode requires manual configuration of a PSK on the AP and       clients. PSK authenticates users via a password, or identification code, on       both the client station and the AP. No authentication server is necessary. A       client can gain access to the network only if the client password matches the       AP password. The password also provides the keying material that TKIP or AES       uses to generate an encryption key for the encryption of the data packets.       Personal mode is targeted to SOHO environments and is not considered secure for       enterprise environments. This section provides the configuration that you need       to implement WPA 2 in the personal mode of operation.

WPA2 Personal vs WPA2PSK

Since setting security on my AirPort Extreme I haven't been able to get my Samsung Blu-Ray player to connect wirelessly as before. Samsung is no help. The manual says:
"Select your appropriate Security Access Point if it is
known. If it is not, select WEP, WPAPSK or
WPA2PSK from the list below and enter in the
password. Keep trying each Security Access Point
and enter the Password until a connection is made."
Is "WPA2 Personal" (as set on my Extreme) different from what Samsung defines as "WPA2PSK"? If so, I may as well give up now. If not, I will keep at it. No immediate response expected as it is Christmas. Thanks in advance to anyone who has an idea about it.

For future reference, WPA & WPA2 are standards not the actual encryption protocols used. The WPA standards supports TKIP encryption; whereas WPA2 support both TKIP & AES/CCMP, which is even more secure.
When you select "WPA/WPA2 Personal" for the AirPort, wireless clients that support TKIP or AES can connect. On the other hand, when you choose "WPA2 Personal" only clients that support AES can connect.
I believe this holds true for the WPA-PSK & WPA2-PSK options found on several vendors routers as well ... but may not be so in all cases. For example, some vendors may only support TKIP with the WPA-PSK options and only AES with WPA2-PSK.

I have an Airport Express that I am trying to use connected by ethernet to my iMac G4 running Mac OS 10.4.11. I need to update the Airport software in order to use security option WPA2 Personal. I currently have Airport software v. 5.6.1.

I have an Airport Express that I am trying to use connected by ethernet to my iMac G4 running Mac OS 10.4.11. I need to update the Airport Express softwart in order to use security option WPA2 Personal to connect to the internet through my Airport Extreme. I currently have Airport Express software version 5.6.1. How can I update this software? (I can connect directly to my Airport Extreme by ethernet and download the update that way). Is a later version of A E software available for download anywhere? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Download and install AirPort Utility 5.4.2 for Mac OS X 10.4.11 "Tiger" here:
AirPort Utility 5.4.2
Once installed, launch AirPort Utility. It will tell you if a firmware upgrade is available for your Express.

I just purchased a hp laser jet printer m1217 with AirPrint, i am unable to get it to connect to my time capsule wirelessly, i am currently using WPA2 personal any suggests

I Just puchased a HP laserjet printer M1217, i am trying to print wirelessly , the printer doesnot recognise my network, i am using a apple timemachine using WPA2 personal, anyone have any ideas

Don't know if you ever figured this out but here is the answer...
I just spent the last two days on this and have finally sorted it out. It actually isn't that hard to do but for some reason, no one has consolidated the information in one place!
First and foremost, make sure that you have all the latest and greatest firmware updates for your printer, your computer and your mobile devices.
Next, you need to connect your printer to your network via an ethernet cable, this is the only way to get in to the printer softare to configure it for your wireless network.
Navigate the printer menus on the keypad to Reports>Config Report and print this report. It will provide you with the IP adress and IPv4 address for the printer.
With the printer connected to your network and powered on, point your browser to the IP address of the printer. If this doen't work (it didn't for me) use the IPv4 address.
This will open the configuration panel for the printer and will let you configure the wireless for the printer so that it can join your wireless network. You will see various tabs across the top. Select network. Then along the left you will see wireless. Choose that. Now you should see a list of wireless networks available including your very own home network. Choose that one, enter your password and hit apply.
Disconnect the ethernet cable and you should be ready to Airprint from all devices. This worked for me, I can't imagine it won't work for all...then again...

Pc with windows xl/sp3 can't connect / acquire ip address from airport extreme; meanwhile, my macbook in connecting fine. We have a wpa2 personal password

My husband's Dell with Windows xl (sp3) can't get an ip address from our new airport extreme. Nor can my daughter's Windows 7 computer. There are no firewalls in place. Both computers worked with my old Airport, though it was sssslllllllowwww. My Macbook works fine and is super fast compared to the old airport. We are using a wpa2 personal password.
Anyone out there have a cure for this problem so we can hook up those sad pcs?
Thanks a lot.
Elizabeth

First, make sure that the new Airport is configured exactly the same as the old one. Hopefully you saved the configuration settings in a file and can look at them to be sure.
If the Windows PC's can't connect with the same password, it's possible that the PC's were using an older wifi protocol like 802.11a or b. The new Airport is backwards compatible but has to be setup that way check to see what versions of 802.11a the windows computers support and make sure that the wireless mode of the airport is setup to accomodate them.
Can the PC's get an IP address if they are connected to the AirPort using an ethernet cable? If they can, that would help naorrow things down to a wireless issue and not some other configuration problem.

How to use 'WPA2 Personal' only in a AEX network?

In my AEX configuration, I specifically set the security to 'WPA2 Personal' only. When I join the network I choose WPA2 Personal.
But when I look Preferences/Network/Airport/Advanced... it shows 'WPA Personal'.
How can I use WPA2 Personal?

Hi,
Question? What machine is this on? The CPU speed? The version of OS you have? Also, if you know the version on the AEX?
There are some 'newer' requirments to have WPA2... even tho it is stated in the OSX 10.4+... it is not an option without updated versions for the Airport Extreme. I am refering to both the AEX in the computer and the 'Remote' WiFi Airport Extreme. If one can be updated (firmware), but the has maxed out... that is it. I have maxed mine out and do have it. Your machine sounds older, if that is the one you are using.
Look under the Apple Menu and 'more info'. Let us know what it is. Also, go to Apple Update in System Preferences and see what version you have on the list (the latest one).
This will help with clearing it up for you.
Thanks

Airport Express broadcasting both WPA2 Personal and WPA2 Enterprise?

We were recently scanning for wireless access points for a client using a product called Vistumbler. The client had two older Airport Express wireless routers, set to use WPA2 Personal, but Vistumbler was detecting both WPA2 Personal and WPA2 Enterprise during the scans. Has anyone else seen this before with any other routers or scanning software? If so, was there a way to only broadcast the current encryption setting?

The AirPorts can be set to WPA2 Personal.......OR........WPA2 Enterprise, but only one setting can be activated at a time.
In the highly unlikely event that the AirPort Express devices are really broadcasting with two different types of encryption, the devices either have corrupted software settings, or they are defective.
Try another scanner......like WiFi Scanner, located in the Utilities folder of the Mac, or another application to see if you get the same results.

Cannot connect anymore to WPA2 Personal after upgrade

Hi everybody,
I'm writing because I cannot access anymore my Wi-Fi WPA2 Personal after I upgraded successfully this morning my Macbook, I bought it at the end of 2008.
The wireless icon on top right shows me the ! (exclamation mark), the IP address is assigned correctly. I tried deleting the network from the preferred connections but it didn't work.
I add the fact wireles connection worked perfectly since today.
Can you help me? Is this a known issue of OS X Maverick?
Thanks in advance!

I post the workaround that solved my problem, thanks again to wifiguru!!

Practically, I made a backup of those files, deleted them with root priviligies and reboot the computer...after that, I found with no work the Wi-Fi connected to my wireless; everything worked fine.
Hope this post helps people with same problem..

Can the IPad connect to a WPA2-Personal Home Network?

My wife just got the IPad for her BDay this month, but we've been unable to connect to our linksys wireless network, having a WPA2 - Personal configuration (which requires an authenication key, never requested during IPad WiFi configuration).
I've read IPad discussions that WPA2 networks can be used, and the General, Settings page shows my network's WiFi SSID. But when tapped the IPad just presents a place for the password -- no key required. It's been tough explaining to my wife (even after simplifying the password, and after updating the firmware for the router) that an authenication key is necessary (i.e. I'm the bad guy).
Can anyone help?

My Linksys had the same problem. Under the router's wireless security, I chose WPA2/ WPA mixed mode. Everything started working then.

Xbox live not working in WPA/WPA2 personal mode.

Xbox Live is not working in WPA/WPA2 personal mode. It does, however, work in WEP mode. I have 2 windows laptops on my wireless network. when I am on WEP, the laptop is stuck in a perpetual "Acquiring Network Address" state. When I have WPA/WPA2 enabled, my laptops work fine, but xbox live cuts in and out of detecting my network, and I cant even get close to connecting at all.
So until I figure this out, I have to choose between WEP (xbox live working, and not PCs) WPA(PCs working, not xbox live) or unsecured (risky). what should I do?

Thats strange topcat, i have exactly the same problem as you except that when i am in WEP encryption my xbox cant even see the extreme on the network and i cant even get it it to connect at all. In WPA mode the xbox sees the network but will not connect. I have rang xbox and they say that it should work and that the problem lies with Apple, although i dont believe this personally. In the meantime ive had to hardwire the xbox to the router which isnt why i bought the router. Disappointed

Airtunes dropouts - AE firmware 6.3 / WPA2 personal network

I finally managed to set up a proper airtuning of my Airport Express (AE) without having the regular streaming dropouts I used to have before (happening a few minutes after every hard/soft reset of my AE, AE still showing solid green light but suddenly not pingable anymore, iTunes stopping the playing, airport channel name displayed in italic at the bottom right of iTunes).
I think I found a solution (further testing required but so far much better) and would like to share my story for the eventual benefit of others. Since I am convinced there might be other reasons than the one I found to such a problem, I will try to carefully describe my network/systems settings.
> My network/systems:
. ADSL/WiFi router Xavi 7868r 54 Mbps configured for mac filtering, no ssid broadcasting, wpa2 personal auth/encrypt using 64 ascii psk, dhcp with fixed ip adressing for my AE
. MacBook Pro Intel Core 2 Duo running Mac OS X (10.4.8) with iTunes 7.0.2 (15) connected to the network through Airport Extreme
. Airport Express with latest firmware (6.3) and regular speakers directly connected to it through audio jack
> My attends to narrow down the problem (OK means dropouts solved, NOK means dropouts not solved):
. putting all my network elements closer to each other (half a meter away from each other) -> NOK
. connecting my Macbook through Ethernet instead of WiFi -> NOK
. disconnect my DECT phone standing close the WiFi router -> NOK
. monitoring of neightbouring WiFi networks -> NOK (I have the strongest signal, almost 100% of signal level)
. checking interference robustness boxes on AE and my laptop -> NOK
. broadcasting my WiFi SSID -> NOK
. turn my WiFi security setting off (i.e. open network without even a WEP) -> OK
. move to WEP 128 security -> OK
. move to WPA2 security -> NOK
. downgrade AE firmware to the previous one (6.1.1) -> OK
So I finally have my AE airtuning working without these sudden dropouts and without any concession regarding the security of my network (WPA2 personal).

Hope it will help some people getting crazy around. Anyway, thanks for all the ones who posted messages on related issues since they surely helped me in some way. Will try to answer to your eventual questions as well.
Mabook Pro Intel Core 2 Duo Mac OS X (10.4.8)
Mabook Pro Intel Core 2 Duo Mac OS X (10.4.8)

So let me be sure what you're saying. You had fairly new AE with V6.3 on it and you downgraded to 6.1.1? I'm a little nervous to try this, but the drop-outs are killing me. I had an older AE that finally died. I think it probably was running 6.1.1 and I hardly ever experienced any problems with it. So maybe you have found the solution, but wouldn't you think Apple would pick up on this and fix whatever is wrong with 6.3? Go figure!

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
AIR-RM21A or AIR-RM22A)
