Re: [XP Pro] Setting WPA2?

If you're using a WRT54GS, you might want to try also using WPA instead of WPA2. If you're using AES encryption explicitly, the two offer essentially the same encryption.

I had significant problems with a linksys wireless NIC until I fell back on WPA-PSK AES instead of WPA2-PSK AES/TKIP.

MAC filtering is as much of a waste of time as disabling SSID broadcasts. It's been beaten beyond a bloody pulp by perpetual argument, and even just mentioning it creates discussion. Essentially, it offers no additional security and obfuscates the authentication process.
