HUB3 WPA NOT WPA2

I have a HUB3. It shows WPA on the security service. How do I get WPA2 the latest. I phoned BT and after 54 minutes was told HUB3 only gets WPA, but other signals I see with a HUB3 show WPA2.
Solved!

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

WPA or WPA2 on Vista?

I got a Linksys WRT54GL router, and it supports WPA and WPA2. I have a PC60G installed in a 32-bit Vista machine. I configured the router for WPA2, and the Vista machine would not connect to it. Then I configured the router for WPA, and the Vista machine still could not connect to it. Only after I configured the router for WEP was the Vista machine finally able to connect to it.
Does anyone have a PC60G on a 32-bit Vista machine connecting to a router using WPA or WPA2?

Sometimes it simply doesn't work together using the protocol you like.
Windows has very poor WPA compatibility, switch to WEP is that does work.
Else try a different brand router and see if it works, Wifi simply has such problems.
That's why I use cables if I can

How to set WPA and WPA2 security with multiple AEs

Hi Everybody,
I have purchased a second AE and with the help of Alan Summers was able to set them all up for multiple speakers use in iTunes. In order to make them run I had to downgrade security settings to 40-bit WEP which is not really satisfying. My Airport Admin. Utility was still 4.0, so I tried 4.2 which offers the use of WPA and WPA2 with multiple AEs. Upgraded to 4.2 and switched off security settings first. Both AE are recogniced and speakers of second AE also show up in iTunes but I cannot connect to them. Since it didn't work without security settings, I didn't even try with it and went back using 4.0. All other firmware is up-to-date:
AirPort Express 6.3
iTunes 6.0.2
Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 2200BG Network Connection 9.0.3.0
Any advice would deeply be appreciated!
BTW - if it works, it's maybe the greatest sound experience I ever had. Music all over the place!!
Best regards
Roman

Found it!!
1) upgrade Airport Admin. Utility to 4.2
2) set second AE as "remote base station" and not in "client mode" (that's the clue!!)
3) follow instructions and type in MAC address of main base station
4) choose a channel (doesn't matter which one, just has to be the same on both AEs)
5) choose your personal WPA and WPA2 password (same on both AEs)
6) restart both AEs
7) enjoy the music all over the place!
Best regards

New iPad won't connect to Mobile Hotspot using WPA or WPA2

I have a new iPad running iOS 6.01. It connects to wifi networks perfectly. I also own a Blackberry 9790 that is capable of running a wifi hotspot. When I try to connect my iPad to the mobile hotspot when WPA or WPA2 Encryption is used the iPad cannot connect. If I change the Encrypstion to WEP I am able to connect the iPad and wifi works on it.
Is there a reason the new iPad won't connect to a mobile hotspot that's using WPA/WPA2? Is there a way to resolve this issue?
I am able to connect my MacBook Pro to the mobile hotspot using WPA/WPA2 so I know that it's not my phone or the hotspot not working properly.
Thanks

It appears as though I fixed my own problem...I hadn't yet tried restarting my blackberry or my iPad since I had been trying to setup the mobile hotspot and connect the iPad. Anyways, I restarted both devices and then tried connecting using WPA/WPA2 and it worked.
iPad is now connecting to my mobile hotspot using WPA/WPA2 with no problems.
Maybe try doing the same if you haven't.

Difference between WEP, WPA, and WPA2 and better suggestion to use for shared family users

What is the difference between WEP, WPA, and WPA2? My router is set up on my family PC and connected to a modem so I access Wi-fi through my laptop and my sister has a laptop too and uses our family network to get internet. I just set up a WPA today, so will we all be able to get internet (along with my family using the pc, and my sis on her laptop, even at the same time) protected? (like nobody else using our network)

Wired Equivalent Privacy, commonly called WEP is 802.11's first hardware form of security where both the WAP and the user are configured with an encryption key of either 64 bits or 128 bits in HEX. So when the user attempts to authenticate, the AP issues a random challenge. The user then returns the challenge, encrypted with the key. The AP decrypts this challenge and if it matches the original the client is authenticated. The problem with WEP is that the key is static, which means with a little time and the right tool a hacker could use reverse-engineering to derive the encryption key. It is important to note that this process does affect the transmission speed.
WPA builds upon WEP, making it more secure by adding extra security algorithms and mechanisms to fight intrusion.
WiFi Protected Access (WPA) is the new security standard adopted by the WiFi Alliance consortium. WiFi compliance ensures interoperability between different manufacturer’s equipment.WPA delivers a level of security way beyond anything that WEP can offer, bridges the gap between WEP and 802.11i networks, and has the advantage that the firmware in older equipment may be upgradeable.
WPA2 is based upon the Institute for Electrical and Electronics Engineers’ (IEEE) 802.11i amendment to the 802.11 standard, which was ratified on July 29, 2004. The primary difference between WPA and WPA2 is that WPA2 uses a more advanced encryption technique called AES (Advanced Encryption Standard), allowing for compliance with FIPS140-2 government security requirements.

WPA versus WPA2, must you support both?

Is it generally a requirment to support both WPA and WPA2 for enterprise?
Sent from Cisco Technical Support Android App

I would say no. I might suggest supporting one or the other. Some clients when seeing both supported on the same WLAN will have issues in negotiation.

Automomous AP not broadcasting SSID and can I get it to support both WPA and WPA2?

Ok, I am playing around with a 3702i that has been converted to Autonomous running ap3g2-k9w7-mx.153-3.JAB
I have 2 issues I have not been able to solve yet.   I have basically set it up using the web interface....
First, I can't get the SSID to broadcast -- the SSID is active, because I can type it in manually.
Second, I have an HP 8600 Pro All-in-One printer that I normally connect over WiFi. Basically, it does not seem to support WPA2...I spent most of yesterday pouring through HP forums and WPA2 support seems to be a issue. My old Linksys router had a setting that supported WPA/WPA2...does anyone know how or if I can support WPA / WPA2 simultaneously on this Autonomous AP?
Here is my config:

Hi
You have to add "guest mode" command to broadcast your SSID. Also if you need WPA/TKIP support then remove version 2 keyword under SSID & add TKIP option under radio interface encryption config. Also get rid of "infrastructure SSID" command under SSID config.

IPad WiFi works only with WPA/TKIP, not WPA2/AES

My iPad (like so many others) stopped connecting to my Linksys WRT54G router (which like everyone else's connects fine with every other device, including non-iOS 4 iPhones). The whole reset/restart/restore dance with the iPad/router/cable modem was performed to no avail. By sheer desperation, security protocols were changed, and that's what finally worked.
The protocol to the rescue was WPA/TKIP, curiously enough. (When security is completely disabled ("Open"), the iPad also connects, perhaps expectedly.) The culprit is WPA2/AES (even AES+TKIP). Any iteration of WPA2/AES ends up blocking the iPad from getting the appropriate IP address via DHCP. Once I changed to WPA/TKIP, everything's been rock-solid and fast.
(The only times WPA2/AES worked was when the iPad was first used for a couple days, and a couple days after switching back to WPA2/AES when it started working with WPA/TKIP. Since then, switching back to WPA2/AES no longer works, even temporarily.)
Any idea why initially WPA2/AES worked, and then suddenly stopped?

Ralph Landry1 wrote:
That is a very interesting question ... [involving] the combination of the router and the iPad and their respective implementations of the AES encryption algorithm.

Why some have problems and not others has to be related to the router and its implementation and the Apple implementation.... t works fine for me connecting with [both] a Verizon FiOS (Actiontec) router [a]nd ... an AirPort Extreme. But there have been a number of posts recently about problems with Linksys and Belkin connectivity.
Tell me about it. I'd been pulling my hair out prior to "discovering (by accident," as George Costanza would say) that WPA/TKIP fixed the problem, and seems to be working fine and fast. Now I'm just academically frustrated (better than actually frustrated) wondering why WPA2/AES is so problematic +with this particular trifecta+ (my iPad, my Linksys router, and WPA2/AES).
Bottom line is there is probably not an easy solution ... and since you do have a strong security protocol that works, keep using it. Very strange that there would be a change in connectivity after a few months, though. Old engineering philosophy, if it ain't broke, don't fix it. If you have something that works, stick with it for now.
Actually, WPA2/AES worked on two (short but notable) occasions:
a) for two days when I first unpacked the iPad, and
b) for two days when I switched back to WPA2/AES upon discovering WPA/TKIP fixed the issue.
So it wasn't two months, which makes more sense. I agree with you that I'm not touching this arrangement for now. What I did have to do was change over the other devices (PCs, Wii's, TiVo's) that didn't automatically adjust over to WPA/TKIP. (To its credit, the iPhone did that on the fly.) Going through each device hurt a little, knowing I was using a less-than-optimal protocol for just one cranky device at expense of every other one--but of course I'd rather everything play nice than be necessarily cutting edge. (It's not like I'm the Pentagon or anything here.)
But also give feedback to Apple:

Done and done. And thanks for a great and reassuring explanation.

"ssid" was previously joined as WPA Personal, not WPA2 Personal

I have two access points in my house, one is WPA and one is WPA2.
Prior to Mavericks my MBP would switch between the two depending on how close I was to the access points when openining the lid. Now it doesn't connect at all unless I manually select it in the list and prompts me with this error:
Is there any way to disable it? it has ruined the functionality of my home wifi network.

I am on the latest Mac OS release, Maverick.
1- Open you network preferences dialog
2- Click on the "Advanced" button,
3- In the "Wi-Fi" button view, find/locate your network name in the "Preferred Networks:" table and remove it using the '-' button.
4- Select "Ok" button and you should return to the network prefences view.
5- Select "Apply" on the network preferences view.
6- Right-click on the Wi-Fi network icon in the top right side of the Apple menu bar and disconnect from the Wi-Fi netowork.
If you are connected to the same Wi-Fi network that was removed from the "Preferred Netwoks:" list above, turn off your "Wi-Fi" (righ-click Wifi network icon from the Apple menu bar), turn it back on, and select this network manually from the list of available networks. Doing so will cause this SSID to be added to the "Preferred Networks:" again along with the latest choice of authorization method. From this point onwards, your machine will auto-connect as it used to before you changed your authorization method.
Good luck.

HT1178 What the difference is between WPA and WPA2 and how are these settings affecting the access of other computers to the internet through my Time Capsule

I have a Time Capsule of the 4th generation and I am pretty impressed since I just had a fried harddrive on my 3 month old Imac and Time Capsule restored it fully including all programs etc. without having me to put in all serial numbers etc. for that I give it an A+. However what I find very frustrating is the very short and incomplete user manual and setup instructions. I give those a D-. It does not explain the consequences of certain choices to a normel non computer gig user like me:
I do not understand what the consequences and difference is between the security setting WPA/WPA2 and WPA2 when setting it up. It would be helpful if the manual would explain something like: If you set it onto WPA2 then computers older than XXX years will not able to hook up to the internet through your router...or the likes, since I slowly supect this may be the reason for some of my troubles.
I also have a 5 year old PC with vista connected to the Time Capsule. It can wireless connect to the Time Capsule and access the printer (I have managed that after some painful hours...) but it cannot access the internet with that PC through the timecapsule wireless, only if I hook it up with a cable. Why? Does that have to do with the fact that I have set the TIme Capsule to WPA2?
Our PS3 can connect wireless, no problem. However, I friend of mine tried it with a quite new Toshiba Notebook and he could see the Time Capsule but again it shows the line from the Time Capsule to the internet blocked. All other computers linked with data cable to the Time Capsule are connected to the internet no problem. What have we done wrong? Should I change the security setting to WPA/WPA2?
I tried the latter, but then another problem does come up, which was there from beginning on: When I change the settings for my Time Capsule my Imac suddenly cannot find the Timne Capsule anymore, even so I am only 3feet away from it. When I set it up for the first time 3 month ago it drove me crazy. The very first time it found the Time Capsule right away. But when I discuverd a mistake in my initial setup and I went through the settings again to change stuff it suddenly could not find the Time Capsule anymore. Only after frustrating 20 times or so with turning wi-fi on and off several times inbetween did it suddenly find the Time Capsule in the set up menu. However, when I tried changing my security setting to WPA/WPA2 today to see whether this solves my other problems again it could not find the Time Capsule when I was finished with the settings and I had to give up/cancel. Why is that???
I would really appreciate some help here. But please I am not a computer gig and normally always had assistance with these things. On the other hand I am not all stupid either (even so these manuals assuming we all grew up sleeping on a computer make me feel stupid).....
Thank you all in advance

Hello Schimi. The Time Capsule is a kind of product that offer you two possibility:
- To use the TC as a router or as an external HD.
The difference between WPA and WPA 2 are:
- They are two kinds of internet connection.
WPA uses dynamic key encryption , which means that the key is constantly changing and makes the invasion of a wireless network more difficult than WEP . WPA is considered one of the highest levels of wireless security for your network and is recommended if your devices support this kind of encryption . Newer routers offer WPA2 security . WPA2 is compatible with WPA , but offers higher security level . In fact, it meets the high standards of many government agencies . If the router and computer support WPA2 , this should be your choice.
If you need any help or if you find some difficult setting up it you can contact Apple Support.
I am sure that they can help you with that.
I am sory for the delay. I holpe that you solve your issue.

WPA-TKIP WPA2-AES Connection speed

Hi,
My customer uses controller based wireless network. There is a connection speed problem between two SSID's. First SSID uses WPA(TKIP+AES) and WPA2(TKIP+AES) encryption method and dot1x authentication method. Second SSID uses open authentication (this is a guest SSID)
802.11 a/n/ac is enable on WLC and client can connect with these methods. But clients connect to the first SSID with 802.11 b/g (54 Mbps) and connect to the second SSID with 802.11 a/n/ac. Customer wants to know why our clients connect with low speed to first SSID even if a/n/ac is enable.
Sometimes WPA-TKIP encryption methods can reduce the connection speed. Do you have any idea about that and official document about this problem?
Thanks,
Burhan,

TKIP and AES are two different types of encryption that can be used by a Wi-Fi network. TKIP stands for “Temporal Key Integrity Protocol.” It was a stopgap encryption protocol introduced with WPA to replace the very-insecure WEP encryption at the time. TKIP is actually quite similar to WEP encryption. TKIP is no longer considered secure, and is now deprecated. In other words, you shouldn’t be using it.
AES stands for “Advanced Encryption Standard.” This was a more secure encryption protocol introduced with WPA2, which replaced the interim WPA standard. AES isn’t some creaky standard developed specifically for Wi-Fi networks; it’s a serious worldwide encryption standard that’s even been adopted by the US government. For example, when you encrypt a hard drive with TrueCrypt, it can use AES encryption for that. AES is generally considered quite secure, and the main weaknesses would be brute-force attacks (prevented by using a strong passphrase) and security weaknesses in other aspects of WPA2.
The “PSK” in both names stands for “pre-shared key” — the pre-shared key is generally your encryption passphrase. This distinguishes it from WPA-Enterprise, which uses a RADIUS server to hand out unique keys on larger corporate or government Wi-Fi networks.
In summary, TKIP is an older encryption standard used by the old WPA standard. AES is a newer Wi-Fi encryption solution used by the new-and-secure WPA2 standard. In theory, that’s the end of it. But, depending on your router, just choosing WPA2 may not be good enough.
While WPA2 is supposed to use AES for optimal security, it also has the option to use TKIP for backward compatibility with legacy devices. In such a state, devices that support WPA2 will connect with WPA2 and devices that support WPA will connect with WPA. So “WPA2″ doesn’t always mean WPA2-AES. However, on devices without a visible “TKIP” or “AES” option, WPA2 is generally synonymous with WPA2-AES.
WPA and TKIP compatability options can also slow your Wi-Fi network down. Many modern Wi-Fi routers that support 802.11n and newer, faster standards will slow down to 54mbps if you enable WPA or TKIP in their options. They do this to ensure they’re compatible with these older devices.
In comaprison, even 802.11n supports up to 300mbps — but, generally, only if you’re using WPA2 with AES. Theoretically, 802.11ac offers theoretical maximum speeds of 3.46 Gbps under optimum (read: perfect) conditions.
In other words, WPA and TKIP will slow a modern Wi-Fi network down. It’s not all about security!

WRT310N and WPA not allowing connection to internet

I just purchased a WRT310N, followed the setup instructions and selected WPA/WPA2 encryption. I put the key into my Belkin PCA card, model F5D7011 and my XBOX i get no connection to Internet from either device. I reinstalled the router and set the security option in the CONFIGURE ROUTER section to "no securty" and finished the re-install. Everything is fine. XBOX and my Dell PC connect to internet. WPA does not work. ANy help is appreciated.

Ok. i am working now. I deleted the wireless connection in the Belkin Utiliy and re-configured the router with WPA. I made the PCA card reconnect and a dialog box came up asking for the key. I did not use the random key provided by Linksys. I made up my own. Once i put the key into the belkin utility all was ok. XBOX works now as well.

WPA and WPA2 mixed environment

I have about 30 or so autonomous AP's installed on our campus. Half are 1141n and half are 1231 with radios that cannot do wpa2. Right now we are running ciphers tkip and autherntication wpa on all units.
I would like to change ciphers to aes-ccm on all units and change to wpa2 on the 1141n units but retain wpa on the older 1131's because they are not capable of wpa2.
Will clients be able to roam seemlessly around the campus without having to manually re-associate whenever they move from a 1141n unit to 1231 unit given the proposed change listed above?

Hello John,
i would say this will differ based on client software itself.
however i see you concerned as some old AP's will not have WPA version 2 commands under SSID.
can you please check in one of these old AP's , under the radio
conf t
interface dot11radio X
encryption mode cipher AES ( is this command availble)?
if yes , i believe it should be find if you do WPAv2 -AES on 1140 , and 1230 with AES encryption.
Kind regards
Talal

WPA vs WPA2 on OS 10.3

just installed an airport card on my G4 - Quicksilver. Running OS 10.3. My router only recognizes a WPA2 password. This does not seem to be an option for 10.3 as I can only type in a WPA password. Suggestions? Workaround?

Panther 10.3.x is ancient and may not properly work with your router. You probably need to a) log into your router and change the security level to WEP, or b) upgrade your OS X to 10.4 or 10.5.
This is what it looks like on my Tiger iMac, under "Security Options" you need to pick what level you want. WEP is less secure but more flexible with a Mixmaster of devices, while WPA2 is more secure but may be less compatible with certain devices.
I have a Netgear router. You'll need to know the login ID and password for your router, then login and make changes. (The default is usually "admin" and "password" but I would highly recommend changing it if you haven't already done so, for security reasons.)
You can have an idea of what the settings look like below. I blocked out my KEY for obvious reasons.
