Wep works - WPA doesn't

Im desperate for any configuration on my WLC besides wep. Inputting ascii or hex into each phone is a pain and I would love the WPA encryption. What can I do to get this working on the CP-7920. It seems to not want to authenticate. It works fine on WEP with 40, 128 bit, but I just rather have WPA with a preshared key and something easier to remember and less prone to being compromised by the less secure wep encryption.

7920 supports both ascii and hex for WPA-PSK. Can use the config utility via usb to configure the phone if not wanting to use the keypad.
For 802.1x, the 7920 supports only LEAP or EAP-FAST. Set to AKM if using WPA or other key management type.

WRT160N, WEP works but WPA doesn't, please help!

Hello all,
I have a somewhat strange problem, that I have been trying to troubleshoot for some time, and still cannot figure out, and was looking to get some advice.
Anyways, I have a WRT160N Linksys Router, that works fine wirelessly in non-secure and WEP security modes, but I cannot get it working correctly in either WPA or WPA2 security modes.
The setup of my computer in my apartment means at the moment I cannot use a wired connection to do the inital setup of my router...everything has to be done wirelessly. So after a fresh factory-reset of my router, I go into the Windows 7 Network and Sharing Center, set up a new wireless connection, punch in the Router PIN, and initally setup my connection with no security. It connects to the internet just fine. From there, I go into my router settings vis'-a-vis' 192.168.1.1, and change the wireless security from disabled, to WEP, put in a password, and apply the settings. I then alter my network profile within the Network and Sharing Center for my wireless network and make sure that its settings match my router's settings. Once again, everything works great and internet performance is good.
However, when I instead change my router's security to WPA or WPA2 using the above method, instead of WEP, I cannot get it working correctly. I change my network profile to match my router's WPA/WPA2 setting, but I either get an ip error, or it won't let me connect to my network, giving me the following error message...."The settings saved on this computer for the network do not match the requirements of the network", even though I am certain the settings on my router match the settings I am inputing into the Windows Network and Sharing Center. There was one time where I was actually able to get it work in WPA and I was browsing the internet just fine...and my network details in my connection list showed my network was WPA2-PSK, but after a few minutes, the connection disconnected, and I got the 'The settings saved do my match' error message again.
Are there any special steps I have to take to delete old settings or some special configuration I have to do within Windows to get it to talk to my router correctly when I enable WPA or WPA2? It seems odd to me that everything works fine in no security or WEP, but WPA/WPA2 seem flaky.
Any information would be greatly, greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

First of all do not do any settings on your Router from the wireless computer...it can damage your router.
Connect any computer to your Router and do the folowing settings...
Open an Internet Explorer browser page on your wired computer(desktop).In the address bar type - 192.168.1.1 and press Enter...Leave Username blank & in Password use admin in lower case...
For Wireless Settings, please do the following : -
Click on the Wireless tab
- Here select manual configuration...Wireless Network mode should be mixed...
- Provide a unique name in the Wireless Network Name (SSID) box in order to differentiate your network from your neighbours network...
- Set the Radio Band to Standard-20MHz and change the Standard channel to 11-2.462GHz...Wireless SSID broadcast should be Enabled and then click on Save Settings...
Please make a note of Wireless Network Name (SSID) as this is the Network Identifier...
For Wireless Security : -
Click on the Sub tab under Wireless > Wireless Security...
Change the Wireless security mode to WPA, For Passphrase input your desired WPA Key. For example , MySecretKey , This will serve as your network key whenever you connect to your wireless network. Do NOT give this key to anyone and remember the key
Click on Advanced Wireless Settings
Change the Beacon Interval to 75 >>Change the Fragmentation Threshold to 2304, Change the RTS Threshold to 2304 >>Click on "Save Settings"...
NOTE** : Passphrase should be more that 8 characters and it is case sensitive ...
Now see if you can locate your Wireless Network and attempt to connect...

[solved] wicd do not work with wep or wpa/2...

Hi!
I have configured wicd using the wiki, and checked the steps several times... but only works when the wifi router is set to no encryption...

WEP working with Windows and Macbook Pro - NOT with G4 laptop

In order to get a Windows laptop connected to my home network, I changed over to WEP Encryption and have gotten the Windows laptop, my Macbook Pro, and another Powerbook G4 to connect - however, when I try to connect the other remaining G4 laptop, a 400mhz PowerPC running an Airport card with firmware v.9.52 doesn't give me the pulldown option for WEP (only WPA) and I am, therefore, unable to input the password that is working on my other computers.
Thoughts? Solutions?
Thanks.

Hi Don,
Thanks for your response. The articles were informative, but here's what's odd about my situation:
I understand passwords, etc. I've been running WPA/WPA2 encryption on my all-Apple Network. It worked great. When I brought home the WindowsXP laptop, I changed the network over to WEP and not only did the Windows laptop get signal, but 2 of my 3 Macs did as well. When I started up the "upstairs" G4 Powerbook and sought out my network the Airport Internet Connect did not give me a WEP option in the pulldown menu, so I was unable to log in. All I really need to do is determine how to get the older G4 Powerbook to see WEP where it only sees WPA. (Ultimately, I switched back so my wife could use her computer. It may just be easier for me to try to configure the Windows Laptop to a WPA/WPA2 network.
Thanks again for your thoughts on this.

When I turn on my iPad and. Go onto the Internet the wireless router cuts off and the Internet stops working and doesn't respond

Hello,
When I turn on my iPad 2 and go onto the safari and go onto google the wireless router cuts off and turns the Internet off and the Internet doesn't respond and then after I have to turn the router off and turn it on and then it is back to normal it has happening when I recently updated the new iOS 6 on my iPad since then it was been doing this please can you help and help me sort the problem out
Thanks

Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

Photosmart B 209 no longer sees WIFI network since I've moved from WEP to WPA

My HP Photosmart was working well until my ISP has asked me to change the name of my WIFI network (now includes underscore symbols) and the protection type has changed from WEP to WPA....Paswword has not changed, it's just the type of protection
Since then, the printer doesn't see anymore the WIFI network. I've printed a Network report and it says I need to check that SSID network & printers are the same....
My old network SSID was : Freebox and it has moved to : FREEBOX_BRUNO_DH.
Where can this be changed on the printer ???
Thanks for your help
Regards
This question was solved.

Why is your ISP dictating what your SSID name will be??? This is not right. You can make the SSID name anything you want, but I would not use what your ISP has said. It's YOUR network, do what you want. Make the SSID and password for you.
Say thanks by clicking the Kudos Thumbs Up to the right in the post.

Mixture of WEP and WPA on wireless network

I have a WRT54G and a cable modem. The router is configured to use WPA. I have many personal wireless devices (print servers, computers, access points, etc.) on my network. All are configured to use WPA. My wife and I just got company-issued laptops from our employer that have software that does not support WPA (we can't change the software). The laptops only support WEP. Is there a way to run a mixture of WEP and WPA on a wireless network? If I have to buy an additional router, that is OK. I'm looking for a solution that will allow me to run both WPA and WEP over the same internet connection.
Would MAC filtering on my current router be a possible solution?

It is not possible to use WEP & WPA at a same time in a router .....
But you can enable the MAC flitering on the router for all wireless devices ..... let me know if it works ....

WEP or WPA security

D-Link DI-624 offers either mode. The WEP mode is easier to understand and relatively painless for setting up under 64-bit passwords. Do 128-bit passwords offer a much greater level of security? (The network is home based, in a small town.)
Should I consider the WPA mode? How much more difficult is the utilization of WPA mode?
Thanks.

I don't know about the setup process with a D-Link wireless router but the following was copied from AirPort for Mac OS X 10.3 or later: Using different types of wireless security (WEP and WPA).
WPA is a very secure encryption method that is now preferred for computers that can use it. WEP is an older encryption method that is less secure, but it is useful if your network has systems that are not WPA capable.
In addition to being much more secure, WPA is also easier to use. WPA works best in Mac OS X 10.3.3 or later with AirPort software 3.3 or later.
There are two ways to set up WPA, Personal and Enterprise. WPA Personal is easier to set up if you have a small network, such as in your home.

There was an error joining the Airport network with WEP or WPA

I use a wireless adsl modem router (Philips). I can only connect via wireless to this router without encryption.
As soon as I use WEP or WPA encryption, I get the error message "There was an error joining the Airport network".
Thank you for any suggestion.

Do not overlook the possibility that the router itself may be incompatible or may require a firmware update to work properly. You should configure the router to use WPA2, preferably, as this is the most compatible form of encryption with Airports.

WEP and WPA?

I have some old and new laptops. The new ones can use WPA but the older ones seem to only support WEP. Is it possible to configure my router (WRT54GS) to use both WEP and WPA?
Thanks

No. Your WRT54GS cannot do WEP and WPA at the same time.
Check and see if there is an updated driver for your old wireless adapter, that will allow it to do WPA. If not, the best solution to your problem is to replace your wireless adapter with one that can do WPA and WPA2.
Another work around solution is a two router solution:
Modem -- WRT54GS #1 -- WRT54GS #2
WEP WPA
192.168.1.1 192.168.2.1
(Note: LAN port on WRT54GS #1 is wired to Internet port on WRT54GS #2.)
The problem with this solution is that the computers on #1 will not be able to access anything (computers, printers, etc.) that is connected to #2

IMac bELKIN n1 Wireless connection impossible in WEP or WPA! Help

I bought a Belkin N1 wireless router and it works fine with my old PowerBook G4 but not with my new iMac in WEP or WPA mode (without password it is OK). I’ve been told to put a $ before the password but it still does not work!
Do you have any idea?
Thanks

Hi Dave,
I haven't seen anybody able to use WPA with ICS yet, Mac to Mac anyway, and only WEP as of recent.
ASCII passwords may need to be enclosed in quote marks, (or maybe that's been fixed!?

Also, you may need to alter the PC to enable clear text password in windows XP.

WEP or WPA will not enable on WRT54g

I am trying to enable WEP or WPA on the WRT54G. When I login to the router and goto the wireless security tab, I see both listed in the drop-down. Whenever I select one, the page defaults to "disabled" and it never asks me to enter the key. The security never enables and the network is left open.
Am I missing something here?

Ok first try reseting the router back to factory default settings, and try again if that still does not work I would suggest getting the current firmware for the router and upgrading the firmware in the router. The best way to make sure you get the right thing put in. ftp://ftp.linksys.com/FatWire/LinksysUpgrade.exe Make sure that you never perform a firware upgrade wirelessly. Always be directly connected to the router or you will turn it into a 50 dollar paper weight.
