Re: [wireless] WRT54G and WPA problems! My linksys router and wireless adapter were running fine with WEP. I decided to upgrade to WPA and am having a problem.
After configuring the router for WPA-PSK, I downloaded and installed two microsoft patches for WPA (815485 and 826942) on my PC running XP Home. Rebooted.
Then, using the Wireless Zero Config utility I tried to set up a new connection. However, the choices listed in the Network Authentication dropdown (on Wireless Network Properties page) were still just "Shared" and "Open".
I thought that all I needed to do was install the WPA patches and XP's Wireless Zero Config would be ready for supporting/configuring WPA.
My PC has a Linksys WUSB11 v2.8 on it (according to Linksys, the WUSB11 v2.8 supports WPA). I have the latest driver installed.
This appears to be more of a problem with Wireless Zero Config, or more likely pilot error on my part.
Any ideas on what could be causing the Network Authentication dropdown to be missing the choice for WPA-PSK? |

| Do you have the boxed checked to "Use Windows to configure my wireless netowrok settings" ? If so, if you uncheck it maybe the Linksys Utility will let you configure WPA ?? My last guess would be that the driver DOES NOT support WPA. But since it was issued in August »www.linksys.com/download/vertxt/···_ver.txt, you'd think it should. |
