Wireless network security detected wrong

My work has it's access point configured for both WEP and WPA. Unfortunately WPA doesn't work at the access point side. Tiger detects the access point with the correct name, but always tries to use WPA even though I tell it each time to use WEP.
Is there any way to have it remember this?

I have never come across a wireless access point to be using WEP and WPA. It is normal for a WAP to require wpa or wep not at the same time.
When connecting to the access point with the WEP key do you add it to the keychain.
Also is your company aware that WEP is not secure at all and can easily be cracked by even amatuer crackers. Therefore if the access point is using a wep key as well as a wpa key it may as well be wide open.

  • Unsupported wireless network device detected

    Hi guys,
    I had to change the motherboard of my DV9420US; I bought a new motherboard from Megabyte Trading, the part number was the same (444002-001) and they told me it was an HP piece. However, after the technician replaced it, the following error appears when booting and forces me to shut down:
    "104-unsupported wireless network device detected. System halted. remove device and restart".
    Can anyone tell me how to fix this problem?
    It starts to be disappointing: I have already spent over 400 bucks to repair the original motherboard first and buy a new one after, with the result that my laptop does not work yet.
    Thanks.

    Remove the wireless card and boot into the notebook. Once into windows you will have to hardwire the notebook into an internet connection and go to HP.com. Place your PN number in the search and go to the software and driver downloads find the BIOS header and download the most update BIOS and flash the BIOS for the notebook. Once this has completed replace the WLAN and boot it back up, should fix the issue.

  • Need my wireless network security key

    I got a laptop and a kindall.  Wanted to connect them to my wireless network.  A screen asks for the wireless network security key.  I have no idea what that is.  Went to home computer and tried to copy the key, but I ended up deleting it and now can't connect to my wi-fi on that either.  I  attempted to restore computer to earlier date in hopes I could get back the code that was set up and when that didn't work, I set the router to default mode by using a pen to hold in button in back 10 to 15 seconds.  Nothing has work, and I have no internet connection.  I had to use my computer at work to type this.  What can I do?

    You must hard reset the router by pressing and holding the reset button in back for 30 seconds and release.  Wait 10 seconds and power cycle the router.  Connect via your browser with a wired computer to 192.168.1.1 username blank, password 'admin'.  Now configure the router back to your settings with your new SSID and password.  Once done change all your computers to  the same password.  Write the password down and tape it to the router.

  • "Warning Unsupported wireless network device detected.Please remove device and restart"

    Okay, so i went upnorth with my family and my  Lenovo 3000 c100 worked perfectly one night, the next morning I woke up and turned on my laptop and i got this message "Warning Unsupported wireless network device detected.

  • 104 Unsupported Wireless Network Device Detected

    Opening up the computer this morning i have a message that says:   104-Unsupported wireless network device detected.  System halted.  Remove device and restart.
    There are no additional devices added or changed before putting laptop in hibernation for the night last night.  Odd.  Any suggestions?

    Hi
    In case you are comfortable reseat the Wireless card from the back panel also try to visit HP website and update the Bios for your unit and see if this fixes your issue.
    Let us know how it goes!

  • Using public wireless network, security settings?

    Hi there,
    I'm a new Mac user. If I'm using my MacBook Pro on a public wireless network, do I need to change any security settings to prevent other users from accessing my documents/hard drive etc?
    Thanks in advance.
    M.

    Yes turn of guest access to your computer in the accounts preference pane.
    Turn off any sharing protocols you may have enabled in your sharing preference pane.
    In the security preference pane click on the firewall tab and set access for specific services.
    Also when using public wifi it is a good idea not to use email or connect to any online banks etc.

  • Is my Wireless network secure?

    How do I go about checking that my wireless network is secure? I use the new Airport Extreme Basestation, and the network works well. It was set up with the help of an AppleCare agent. I'd like to know that my neighbours can't access my network too. The reason I'm querying this, is because each time I access my network, I get straight in, without the system prompting me for the password.
    For peace of mind - I'd like to have to enter my password each time I go to access the network. Am I correct in thinking this will improve the security of my network?

  • Wireless network security

    Okay: I've read a quite a few of the posts under this topic, and (shamefully) I need something more remedial, please.
    I have a cable internet connection and a (Belkin) wireless router with one Macbook and one PC (XP). What, specifically, do I need to do to make this reasonably secure, and where do I do these things?
    Everything is set up and working, but I don't really understand which computer (if any) is controlling my "network" so I don't understand what settings to make on which piece of hardware (Mac, PC, modem, router). Where, for example, do I make the WPA password settings, and how can/do I check that they are working on the other computer? Do I need to change the SSID name? What about encryption?
    Thanks for your help

    I've set up a couple of wireless networks for businesses and can suggest you do the following.
    Read the manual on how to login into your router. Usually you have to open your browser and navigate to something like: http://192.168.1.1 - again, consult your manual with regards to this. Also it will tell you which password to use, although some Belkin routers require no password by default. Now, to security.
    1. Fit thing that you should do is to change name for administrator account (use marco, admin, administrator - whatever you like) if there is such an option, but most importantly, CHANGE OR SET UP A PASSWORD FOR YOUR ADMINISTRATOR ACCOUNT! There is a reason I put this in bold, as this is the most stupid mistake people make and the first thing hackers do is to check if they can get in by using default password (i.e. no password - easy, isn't it?)
    2. Name your network (SSID) - something like 'nowiresbox' will do, and turn off SSID broadcasting. Only you will know the SSID name (there is no reason why someone else should) you have given to your wireless network, and all you have to do is type it in when setting up connections. While SSID can still be discovered easily, it is still a good practice to disable its broadcast.
    3. Set up MAC address filtering. Every network device (Ethernet card, AirPort, etc.) have a MAC address that looks like this: 00:0d:93:8c:2e:3b. This means only network devices with MAC addresses you specify will be able to connect to your wireless network. To find out your MAC address, open Network Utility (in Applications>Utilities), click on 'Info' tab. Select 'Network interface (en1)' to view info about your wireless card or 'Network interface (en0)' to view info about your Ethernet card. The 'Hardware address' entry will display MAC address for each of the interfaces selected. Write them down, and put them in your router options as MAC filtering entries. Again, while it is possible to spoof a MAC address, this is a good practice that would give another hurdle to those who try to get into your network.
    4. Set up encryption. This means transmitted packets on your will be encrypted (scrambled) so that they can't be read by eavesdroppers. The main methods of encryption are: WEP (wired equivalent privacy), WPA (wifi protected access) and WPA2 (enterprise-grade WPA in other words). First thing to know is that you shouldn't use WEP and use WPA (or WPA2 instead), as WEP is very easy to crack with the right tools. Also, try to make up a long encryption key.
    5. Turn on logging on your router so that you know what's happened in case things go sour.
    6. Mind that every time you press that reset button, all your settings (including administrator password) default to the factory state. To avoid redoing all the work, after you have set up your router with the instructions above in mind, back up your settings so that when you have to reset your router, you can restore everything back in a snap.
    7. Also, sometime it might be a good idea to limit the amount of IP addresses that your router's DHCP server gives out to only the number of computers you have connected to it. Say, if your router's IP address is 192.168.1.1 and you have 3 computers in your house, set up an option in DHCP lease to give out IPs starting from 192.168.1.2 to 192.168.1.4 - but make sure you know what you are doing.
    Ask more questions if you have any and good luck.

  • IPhone 4s with iOS 8.1: Wireless networks not detected

    My iPhone has ceased to detect any wireless networks. When I am trying to turn WLan off and on again, the settings app is extremely slow or hangs or the phone crashes and reboots.
    I have reset the network settings several times with no improvement. I have mad a soft reset with no improvement. Does anyone have any ideas how this might be solved?
    Thank you!

    I had to do a complete reset of my iPhone 4s for another reason (the new iTunes could not access my Phone...). Afterwards wifi networks could be detected more often, even connection was possible sometimes. However this connection still is very unstable and frequently interrupted when used.
    Just now, the iPhone rebootet while I was making a call... These wifi problems are just the top of an iceberg of problems I am having since I've installed iOS 8
    I sincerely hope the announced 8.1.1 solves them (but I don't really believe my iPhone will ever be what it used to be). I doubt an iPhone is the right purchase for my next phone. There are other manufacturers out there who dont' force their customers to use a malfunctioning release of their operating system. I am talking about signing: It isn't even possible to downgrade and install a working os.
    Apple, I loved you so much because you had beautiful products that work seamlessly. With iOS 8 you broke my heart. My iPhone is now a beautiful and useless brick of electronic garbage. From this day forward, I shall regard you as just another hardware manufacturer selling your products at unreasonable prices. Good luck with that. The question if you are able to uphold quality, innovation and design of your products without Steve Jobs has now certainly been answered.

  • Wireless network security solution

    Hello All!
    I'm looking to protect wireless network from possible network and malware attacks, bandwidth usage monitoring and content filtering.
    Will Cisco IPS 4300-4500 series do the job? How about software solution (Cisco IOS Intrusion Prevention System)?
    I would appreciate you thoughts and suggestions.

    Is this a router that is supplied by your ISP?  Is it a DSL or FIOS service?
    If so, let's reinstall the printer in this manner:
    - Unplug the Internet line that runs between the router and the wall
    - Turn the power off on the router, wait 30 seconds, then turn the power back on.
    - Go through the normal process of connecting the printer to the router.
    - Now find the IP address of the printer (it should be on the self-test printout), type it into a browser.
    - On that screen you will find a Networking Tab, then on the left Wireless, then the IPv4 Tab.
    - On this screen you want to set a Manual IP. You need to set an IP address outside the range that the router automatically sets (called the DHCP range). If you know what that is, set an IP outside that range but no higher than 254 (the last number in the address). If you do not know, use the current IP address.
    - Use 255.255.255.0 for the subnet (unless you know it is different, if so, use that)
    - Enter your router IP (its on the self-test printout) in the Gateway and first DNS field, leave the second blank.
    - Click 'Apply'
    - Finally, plug in the Internet line, reboot the router and test.

  • WRT54G wireless network security

    I have a WRT54G V.6 that i've been using for several years. Its attached directly to my desktop and wirelessly to 2 laptops in my house. I have as much security as i can have on it...WPA2 with a long password, Mac filtering, password for the router administration etc. Lately i've been getting billed from my interenet for too much downloads and i'm sure it wasn't me thats been downloading. I'm worried someone's been on my network. I enabled logging on the router but i don't understand how to tell if someone's been on my network aside from me and my family. Can someone please tell me how to find out if someone's been on my network, either by looking at the log or some other way? Also, any other suggestions for protecting my network?
    thanks
    Daniel 

    You could check the "DHCP Client Table" and see if there are any MAC addresses listed that don't belong to you.  However, keep in mind that MAC addresses can be faked.
    You said that you have a "long password", but just as important, does it contain a variety of characters, such as capital letters, small letters, and digits?    If you are simply using a long dictionary word, WPA2 can be cracked in a few minutes.  Usually I recommend at least 24 random characters for the encryption password, and at least 12 random characters in the router login password, but even half this number will keep out all but the most dedicated intruders.
    It is very unlikely that anyone could crack a WPA2 protected system, if you are using a strong password.  But, for your own peace of mind, change your encryption and router login passwords.
    More likely, you have a lot more downloading than you realize.  Most people have their computer set for automatice updates.  Microsoft recently put out a 250 megabyte update.  Antivirus programs update themselves frequently.  If anyone in your household is using peer-to-peer (P2P) software, this can result in massive downloads.  If your computer is infected with a virus, the virus could be generating downloads.
    Overall, it sounds like your security is pretty good.  For added security, if you do not use UPnP, then, in the router, set it to "disabled".   UPnP is used by some programs, such as Internet games, video conferencing software, etc.  When UPnP is enabled, it allows any program on your computer to open a port and listen for incoming data.   Virus programs will often use this feature to listen for instructions from home, and download data to your computer.  I assume that you routinely run an antivirus program on your computer, if not, then I would suggest this.  Make sure that your antivirus program also checks for "root kits", which is a common method that viruses use to hide on your computer.
    Hope this helps.

  • Wireless Network Security Settings

    I have purchased a WRT54G router.  I had no problems getting one computer  and one laptop on the internet with the security settings turned on.  The problem is that I am trying to connect an older laptop to the system.  The older laptop does not have a ethernet connection port so I am not able to run the normal setup.   It does have  wireless adapter card.  With the card I can get on the internet when the router security settings are turned off but I want to turn my security setting on.  How do I keep my security turned on and still be able to get on the internet with the old computer?  I was told that it would be possible and that I could set up a password to where the older laptop could sign on to get on the internet.  How would I go about doing this?

    First, make sure you have the latest driver for your wireless card.
    Next, in the computer's wireless software, go to "Preferred Networks"  (sometimes called "Profiles" )  and enter your network's SSID, encryption method, and key.  Next make this network your default network and set it to connect automatically.  (Note: to do this, you may have to right click on your network and select "Properties" or "settings". )  Reboot computer.  It should work.

  • Shared device / wireless network security

    Past couple days... my daughters SLEEPING MBP has appeared on my MBP as a shared device. How is this possible if it's sleeping?
    Perhaps there's a good explanation for this, but I'm concerned about it.
    She connects via wireless to our home D-link wireless router.
    Wasn't sure where to ask question on boards... help appreciated.
    Thanks.
    David Stamm

    Here are the relevant System Preferences Mr. Stamm:
    To enable "wake" from a remote system (Note this feature may not work with non-Apple routers, so it's good to know it works with your D-Link):
    To enable screen sharing, file sharing etc ("Remote Management" encompasses Screen Sharing):
    Connecting to your system from another one, for purposes of screen sharing or copying files (screenshot is from Lion):
    If you do not want your password field to automatically populate, just deselect "Remember this password..."
    In summary:
    You always need a name and password
    Your name and password are secured in OS X's Keychain (with your consent)
    You can enable or disable any or all of these features
    None of your shared devices or computers may by reached from outside your LAN (without using other utilities)
    I hope this helps assuage your concerns.

  • Important Information Regarding your Wireless Network Security

    I received this email today from Verizon stating that I need to change my wifi router settings for WPA2 instead of WEP.
    What the wonderfully intelligent Verizon folks forgot to include as a very basic step is to CHECK first before you follow any instructions.  The wonderful router that Verizon supplied doesn't indicate on the configuration page that WPA2 is ALREADY configured.  At first I thought Verizon pushed out new code and wiped that configuration, but that didn't make sense.  I was sure I had set up WPA2.  Then I remembered, looking at my notes, to check "Wireless Status" under "Wireless Settings."
    My recollection was confirmed.  I almost had to re-do everything and then update all of my devices because I started to blindly follow Verizon's lead.
    So, don't blindly follow Verizon instructions and remember that the user interface on Verizon routers is pretty awful, too.
    Check around, don't assume that the interface will indicate that something is already configured.  One screen may tell you something is configured (status) and the other is written to assume you intend to configure (even if already configured).
    I hope this helps someone.

    Its a generic message going to EVERYONE.
    The G and I version even come configured with WPA2 , and many have followed previous recommendations to switch to WPA2.
