As for the Xbox, I have been reading and apparently the wireless adapter does not support WPA2 encryption but does support WPA encryption.

Guess I'm gonna have to use that for now]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-ABCs-of-setting-up-WAP2-security-22265130 Mon, 20 Apr 2009 09:26:09 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-ABCs-of-setting-up-WAP2-security-22264381
I can't speak for an Xbox since I don't own one, but an iPod touch should provide WPA2 capability.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-ABCs-of-setting-up-WAP2-security-22264381 Mon, 20 Apr 2009 01:23:39 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-ABCs-of-setting-up-WAP2-security-22264369 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-ABCs-of-setting-up-WAP2-security-22264369 Mon, 20 Apr 2009 01:15:14 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-ABCs-of-setting-up-WAP2-security-22264317 Oh, for XP and WPA2, you may also want to consider this since I don't think it's made available through Windows Update:I'm pretty sure that XP with SP3 installed already supports WPA2.

I guess I will download that patch since you said it doesnt come through Windows update BUT will it be compatible with my Xbox Live AND iPod Touch?]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-ABCs-of-setting-up-WAP2-security-22264220 Mon, 20 Apr 2009 00:00:38 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-ABCs-of-setting-up-WAP2-security-22264141
If you reeeaaaaally want to do EAP, let's talk shop ... but unless you're already fluent in RADIUS, layer 2 / layer 3, PKI / TLS / SSL, identity management systems, etc., it's not worth it. That stuff's for people who just want to understand that type of deployment or run organizations where such level of protection is required.

If I use WAP2-PSK will these devices work on the wireless network?
Yes, WPA2 is backwards compatible to WPA. Make sure you use a strong PW, like one of these: »www.grc.com/passwords.htm

First thing to check - do all the supplicants in your devices that will use the AP support WPA2-PSK with AES/CCMP? In other words, do the 802.11 wireless software installed on the devices support it? These days, they should at least do WPA-PSK with TKIP. If you have really old hardware, it's possible the interface firmware / software may need an update, if available. Windows XP (if that's what you're using) doesn't support WPA2-PSK with AES unless you have a software update from Microsoft.

If all connecting devices support AES, then use that. Otherwise, or if you are not sure, select TKIP.

I'm not aware of any significant difference in speeds. If you can set your router for "g" only, rather than "b/g" autoselect, that might give faster speeds. But, again, only do that if all devices are compatible.

I have been using WEP 128 HEX for the longest time now and never knew it was the weakest type of encryption until a read a few threads on this site. Anyways, so I want to set up a WAP or a WAP2 but I dont know how. When i select either, it gives me an option of PSK or EAP (which I dont know what they stand for) and also I hear people talking about AES and TKIP which again I dont know.

So i was wondering if someone could be kind enough and walk me through how to set up the WAP or WAP2 security. I have a D-Link DI-524 router.
Also is it true that the performance with WAP security is much better than WEP? As in faster internet speeds

Thanks!]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/ABCs-of-setting-up-WAP2-security-22262637 Sun, 19 Apr 2009 17:50:34 EDT
