WET200 no WPA available
Hi,
I recently bought a WET200 to bridge between a pair of WET11's. The arrangement is working fine EXCEPT I bought the WET200 with a plan to replace the pair of WET11's with WET54 bridges. The problem is that despite the user manual showing screenshots of configuring WPA, the selection is not available in the dropdown list that is in the Wireless Tab under "Wireless Security" on my WET200 unit. The only option (other than disabled) is WEP (which is what I am currently using). The WET200 is running the latest firmware (1.0.13).
Is there a problem with WPA support on WET200 bridges? Has anyone gotten WPA to work on a WET200?
Thanks!
Hello,
As Jeff said the WET200 does support WPA. Since you are not seeing it as an option I would try these two things first. If you updated the firmware to its latest version I would factory default the device then go back into the interface of your WET200 to see if the option now shows up. If it does not I would once again to try reinstall the lastest firmware, reboot it and then check to see if the option shows. If it

Does WET200 support WPA-Enterprise/TKIP?
I could not connect a WET200 (newly bought) to our WPA-enterprise/TKIP wireless network.
Can anyone tell me what was wrong? Does WET200 support WPA-enterprise? Please help!
Thanks a lot.B**r!!!
oh well, one can only hope that there'll be an upgrade real soon now

I'm new to "security" protection so please bear with me. I've got the original "Graphite" base station and the Airport card which was available the same time the MDD G4 was. I'm running OS 10.4.6 and Airport Admin. Utility is v4.2 but ABS is v3.84. My current security is WEP but I'd like to switch to WPA. When I tried changing WEP in AAU, I see that WPA is not available. My only choices were WEP and "Not Enabled". I tried updating the ABS's software but there's no update/document available that I can see.
Is this configuration just not compatible or am I missing something??
Thanks in advance!
G4 Dual 1.0Ghz Mac OS X (10.4.6) Pro Tools TDMYou aren't missing anything. WPA is not available on either the graphite ABS nor the Dual Ethernet (aka "snow") ABS.
WPA is an option on the AirPort Extreme base station (AEBS) or AirPort Express. -
Wpa not available for internet sharing
Hiya,
Just want to verify:
WPA is not available for internet sharing over airport card?
All that is available is old insecure WEP. Updated to airport 4.2, but the config utilities only apply to base station / express. So, if sharing a connection over airport card then we're stuck with the 'laughable' security of WEP.
This is true?
Why? Is it impossible to add WPA for sharing?
Please confirm if anyone knows...
thanks!
12 powerbook g4 Mac OS X (10.3.9)Problem is solved, although I do not really know why:
My parent's email address is [email protected] since years. In my address book I have both addresses: [email protected] and [email protected]
Somehow their FaceTime used their mac.com address and after we changed that to [email protected] everything is fine now, I can reach them via FaceTime.
I hope this helps somebody. -

WPA security Types are missing after upgrading to Windows 8.1
After upgrading from Windows 8 Pro 64bit to Windows 8.1 Pro 64bit on my Sony Vaio Duoe 13, I could not find WPA security type while configuring Wireless network manually. (only WPA2 and 802.1X are available).
I have done a lot of troubleshootings like
1-Reinstall Wirless original driver
2-Updating the wireless driver to the latest
3-Uninstall and reinstall windows 8 then upgrading again to windows 8.1
But the same.
Is there any way to add WPA to the security type?Yes! It works!
To recap : My laptop has an Atheros AR9002WB-1NG adapter, windows 8.1. Even when it had windows 8, it was unable to connect, but unlike now, I didn't look closely enough about the type of network. Originally I thought it was
this problem. But they confirmed that others with windows 8 had no issues with this. Then , when I tried configuring the network manually, I could not find the WPA-enterprise option at all, only the
WPA2-enterprise.
So here I was, and Greg Seth's answer gave me an idea.
In the following instructions, some commands are obvious, so I won't explain unless necessary. So here's what you do :
0) Go to command line, preferably Administrator (not tried without).
1) C:\Windows\System32> cd \Users\<User>\Documents
2) C:\Users\<User>\Documents> netsh
3) netsh> wlan
4) netsh wlan> show profiles
5) delete profile name=<yournetwork>
Enclose the name of network within quotes, this is to ensure that you can cleanly set up the right profile. Don't close the netsh, we'll need it some more. If you do, just reach there the same way as before.
6) Right click the connection icon in lower right corner > open Network and Sharing Center > Set up a new connection or network > Manually connect to a wireless network
7) Try to create a profile, and try to get as many details to correspond with your requirement. The rest we'll edit in command line, so let's make it as easy as possible.
8) Do the same at the next screen. Edit Network settings > change all the parameters that you can, to match the requirement. My university tech support has a detailed document listing the options to choose, usually for windows 7, or even windows 8. get
as many of them as possible.
9) Finish. Move back to your netsh terminal
10) netsh wlan> show profile <profilename>
without quotes this time. This should show your previous attempt at creating a profile in the GUI dialog boxes. In my case, it had WPA2 and AES. It has to become WPA and TKIP. I also set my authMode to userOnly, since I hadn't done it right in the dialog box
before.
11) netsh wlan> set profileparameter
displays a humongous list of parameters with detailed options, just carefully examine the syntax. It's all here.
12) netsh wlan> set profileparameter name=<profilename> authentication=wpa encryption=tkip authMode=userOnly
13) netsh wlan> set profileparameter
Don't exit this yet.
14) Now click the connection icon, and connect to the network. It will ask you the username and password in a different style, that was my clue something was different this time.
15) It should connect. In my case atleast, it did. Verify by browsing.
16) netsh wlan> export profile name=<profile name>
In order that you're not put through this ordeal again, export the profile safely to a file. Again, the profile name in quotes.
17) Wonder why microsoft makes things difficult for us! -
How best to get my OS 9.1 Powerbook to use WPA encryption
My Wall Street Powerbook (upgraded to G4/500 with a USB adapter and Wavelan Silver [WEP] wi-fi card) can sometimes see but not successfully connect to public (or private, even with the password) wi-fi networks. I get a generic Airport error message that it cannot connect. I think it's because the network are WPA and WEP won't work with them. Thus, I'm looking for a way to add WPA capability to my PB.
I saw a post elsewhere on this forum about wireless ethernet adapters that can be used for this purpose. Problem is, only some are OS 9 compatible or even Mac-compatible, and they run close to $100. The one that are OS X-compatible can be configured first there, then used with an OS 9 Mac.
On the manufacturers' sites I also see USB wireless adapters, which are much cheaper. Can they be used with my PB? If they are OS X-compatible I could do the configuration (whatever that means) on my OS 10.4.11 Mac Mini.
To tell the truth I'm not sure what "configuration" means with wi-fi adapters but it seems to be a one-time thing and you don't have to use the adapter with the device you configured it with. If that's the case, why couldn't I just go to, say, MicroCenter, buy either a wireless ethernet or USB adapter, and have them configure it on one of their Windoze machines (or does it have to be a Mac, even one running a different OS from the intended hardware?)I saw a post elsewhere on this forum about wireless ethernet adapters that can be used for this purpose. Problem is, only some are OS 9 compatible or even Mac-compatible, and they run close to $100.
A number of wireless Ethernet bridge devices (also known as gaming adapters) have WPA capabilities (with or without a firmware update). To be sure exactly which model (or versions of a model), check the specifications. You may want to have a closer look at, for example, D-Link DWL-G820, Linksys WET54G and Linksys WGA600N.
Generally speaking, security and all other wireless aspects are handled by the wireless Ethernet bridge. No special drivers normally needed. Therefore, you should not have a problem with system versions in this very case. A wireless Ethernet bridge can be used with older computers under almost any operating system. The main disadvantage here may be size and the need for an external power supply, which would make the wireless Ethernet bridge solution a little less portable.
To tell the truth I'm not sure what "configuration" means with wi-fi adapters but it seems to be a one-time thing and you don't have to use the adapter with the device you configured it with. If that's the case, why couldn't I just go to, say, MicroCenter, buy either a wireless ethernet or USB adapter, and have them configure it on one of their Windoze machines (or does it have to be a Mac, even one running a different OS from the intended hardware?)
With a wireless Ethernet bridge, you could carry out the initial configuration via another computer. On the other hand, bridge devices usually require a normal web browser for this task, so it may be possible to use an older Mac, too. Once configured, the wireless bridge acts rather independently (necessary when used with network printers et cetera).
The situation is quite different with USB wireless adapters. These units rely heavily on special driver software in close connection with an operating system. Most USB adapters need at least Mac OS X 10.3 (if Mac drivers are available at all).

WiFi problems after changing from WEP to WPA on Actiontec router
I need some help/advice--I've searched the forums but am not seeing my exact problem described so decided to describe it to see if the community can help me figure out what to do now. The situation is this: After recently learning about the insecurity of WEP "security" I decided to change the security settings on our Fios router (an Actiontec MI424WR, Rev C). I first tried to change the settings to WPA2, but then my husband's elderly Dell laptop could not connect, so I changed them to WPA. At first everything seemed fine--we could connect to the internet from our computers (my MacBook Pro, his Dell, and various devices--phones, kindle, iPad).
But we soon noticed some strange problems that I was never able to resolve:
I could never get either of two Airport Expresses to connect to the network, even after repeated tries (with hard resets in between)
Within an hour or two after rebooting the router, I was no longer able to connect wirelessly to a NAS device that is connected to the router via an ethernet cable--I could no longer even see it in the Mac finder. I could see it in Windows Explorer from the Dell but could not connect.
Similarly, I lost contact with a Sonos bridge unit that is also connected to the router via an ethernet cable. In this case the loss of contact was sporadic--various devices that connect over WiFi to the bridge could sometimes see it, sometimes not.
Resetting the router would temporarily restore wireless access to the devices hardwired to the router, but I would always lose the NAS device completely after an hour or two and the Sonos bridge sporadically. The computers and devices, however, had no problems connecting to the router itself and from there to the internet.
I finally gave up and returned the security to WEP, and now everything is fine: the Airport Expresses connect, the NAS remains available, and the connection to the Sonos bridge over WiFi is robust (the Sonosnet mesh, if anyone is wondering, was never affected).
I can't understand why switching to WPA caused such problems, but it clearly did, since switching back to WEP eliminated them completely. The simplest explanation is that there is some problem with the wifi portion of the rev C router that only becomes apparent in certain circumstances, though it seems weird that both wired peripherals and wireless airport expresses were affected.
Whatever the causes of the problem, now I'm back to wondering how to improve the security of my network. Should I:
See if I can convince Verizon to replace the modem with a newer version? We have had this one for more than 4 years, since we first got fios.
Just go ahead and purchase the most recent version of the Actiontec router (rev G)? It's only about $115--worth it to me if I can use WPA with it.
Buy our own wireless router, perhaps an Airport Extreme, and turn off the wireless on the Actiontec.
Thanks in advance for any help. This is driving me crazy, and I really don't like feeling as if the network is vulnerable, especially given how extensively we use it.
BeckyThis doesn't sound too uncommon. I had similar issues in the past with some networks I've worked with that were resolved by moving the router actually to WPA2 or by updating the firmware. The ActionTec MI424WR Rev. F, G, and I require the use of WPA2 since they have Wireless N radios in them so WPA wouldn't be of much use. My old Linksys WRT54GX also had similar issues, but that was a result of the Wireless Radio dying along with a mix of newer hardware not playing nice with the old, no-longer-supported firmware. I retired that router, only to bring it back into service as a Wired router at a friend's home (shutting off Wireless and setting up another as an AP) which replaced an old BEFSX41 which didn't have enough power to handle his Cable connection.
Besides a few software bugs at play somewhere, there isn't much that could cause the wireless to slowly stop working like that. I would suggest moving back to WPA2. For the older Dell laptop if it's running Windows XP, make sure at least Service Pack 3 is installed if it hasn't been getting updated. Also, check for updated drivers for the Wireless card since they may be needed as well. A bit of searching on the Wireless card should also indicate whether or not it supports WPA2 encryption. Anything from the mid-2000s should support it.

Network connection sometines doesn't work (WPA or WEP)
Hi,
My Macbook is sometimes refusing to connect to my wireless network. When the problem occurs, my network is available and listed among all the other available networks. According to tools such as iStumbler, network strength is very good.
Basically, today I start my Macbook and I log in and usually it connects automatically to my default network. Tomorrow it doesn't connect anymore without even coming near to the network settings or even moving the location of my Macbook.
When the problem occurs, I don't have network problems on my iMac (which has identical network settings as my Macbook) or my second laptop (a Windows PC). Tools such as iStumbler show that my network is available and network strength is very good.
When manually forcing it to join the network (I simply select it in the list of all other networks that it detects) I get an error saying that it is unable to connect to the network. Clicking 'Try again' has no affect.
I narrowed the problem down to the security settings. When I'm having this problem and I turn off security on my wireless router (and I also turn it off on the Macbook), my Macbook connects instantly. When I turn security on again (WPA with a passphrase) I am unable to connect. Switching to WEP does not work. (no, it's not me making a typo in the passphrase)
After fiddling with it for a while (usually constantly disabling and enabling my wireless adapter again and again), my Macbook eventually joins the network again.
Yesterday it took me about 40 minutes, a point at which I was about ready to throw it down the stairs.
So I'm using a Philips wireless router and WPA security with a passphrase.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Kind regards,
JanI now discovered that the security settings have no effect on the problem. I don't use any form of security for a while now and everything worked fine for a while. Then the problem occured again, for 2 days.

How do I find the WPA key on my Bravia TV?
Hello ekrahmer, thank you for replying. In regards to your question I assume that you would like to know how to get the WPA key for connectivity. This type of concerns seems to be something that you may ask to your Internet Service Provider. However to setup the TV to connect a Wifi-Direct capable device, we kindly recommend you to try the steps below:
1. Make sure that the TV has the latest system software (firmware) update installed.
2. Using the supplied remote, press the HOME button.
3. Select Applications.
4. Select Wi-Fi Direct.
5. Press the Options button.
6. Select Manual.
7. Select either WPS or Other Methods
NOTE: The WPS setting is not available on all Wi-Fi Direct capable devices. Refer to the manual supplied with the cell phone, computer or other Wi-Fi Direct device for information regarding the WPS setting.
8. If WPS is selected, on your Wi-Fi Direct device, go to the wireless network setting screen, select WPS (if capable, for automatic setup) or perform a scan to connect to the Sony television.
If Other Methods is selected, the SSID and the WPA Key that appears on the TV will have to be entered on the Wi-Fi Direct device.
NOTE: In some cases the TV may appear as BRAVIA or BRAVIA TV on the Wi-Fi Direct device.
If this post helps you to resolve your concerns, please let us know by accepting this post as a solution.Hello ekrahmer, thank you for your post. For further assistance, please let us know with the model number of your Sony TV.

I need to locate my WPA security passphrase
I 'lost' the connection between my HP printer (J6480) and in trying to reestablish it I get this message: 'Your wireless router requires a WPA security passphrase. The passphrase configured on your HP printer does not match exactly. Run the wireless network setup to re-enter your wireless network WPA secuity passphrase,'
I have no record of the passphrase. Can anyone help me locate it?Thanks Bob
My problem is I don't recall using a password when setting up the printer (now several years ago). I know the password for the Time machine but that doesn't work so it is something else and I can't figure out what. I have taken some guesses, also to no avail. Is there a way to ferret out the password?

5800 XM WPA-PSK and network profiles problem
Hi,
I've just purchased a 5800XM phone, with the idea of setting up my personal email account on the device, using my office's network access point.
The access point / router is a Comtrend 5361. The SSID is set to hidden (no broadcast), and the security is set to WPA-PSK (pre-shared key).
On the Nokia phone I go to 'Settings -> Connectivity -> Wireless LAN' and choose 'Other (hidden netw.)'.
Then I choose 'Connect', set the WLAN network name, the phone shows a message 'No WLAN network found', but then prompts to choose network mode (Infrastructure - Hidden), and then password. It connects succesfully and asks for storing the network profile under offline mode, I tell it to do so, and the new profile appears under 'Network destinations -> Internet'. So until now everything seems ok.
The problem is that after the phone disconnects from the internet, the stored profile seems to be useless, since the phone never connects automatically even if the AP is available and always shows 'Search for WLAN'. In the list the hidden access point never shows up so the only choice is repeating the steps that I mentioned above, creating a new profile every time I want to surt the net.
Is there a solution to this, or a third party software that can do the trick?, I have OS V21.0.25, custom version 21.0.025.219.06 from Vodafone, no updates available as of today, but I've tested it with a phone that has the latest OS v30 and it shows the same behavior.
I can't change the access point settings, so I must stick to WPA and hidden SSID, so for me this is almost a deal breaker.Ok, I was testing the wifi part without a sim card inserted, with a sim, the phone connects to the profile properly, but without the sim it has an odd behavior, not loading the profile and wrongly stating that it can't connect when it does (but disconnects randomly).
So the problem is that wireless lan management doesn't work properly without a sim card. -

Your XP PC must be a) running XP SP2 or have downloaded a patch for SP1 and b) the wireless adapter itself must support WPA, not all do.
