Windows Forum / Windows XP / Wireless Networking / March 2005Linksys WRT54G WPA-PSK connection problem
I am trying to change my wireless security over to WPA-PSK with TKIP without success. Here are my specs: Router: Linksys WRT54G (w/ latest firmware) Wireless Card: Dell Wireless 1350 WLAN Mini-PCI Card (w/ latest drivers) OS: Windows XP Professional SP2 I have changed the security model on the router to be WPA-PSK with TKIP, but when I configure my laptop and enter the key, it seems to hang with the "Acquiring network address" message. I am able to connect using WEP 128-bit, so Linksys help believes that it is a problem in compatibility with SP2. I have tried changing channels without success and the firmware and driver updates did nothing either. Any help would be greatly appreciated I have the same problem.The problem with me that i have the wep and wpa. I disamble the wep key and 'restart' the router (power off and on) and connect the laptop with the wpa key and its works. > I am trying to change my wireless security over to WPA-PSK with TKIP without > success.

I tried repeatedly to delete the "preferred connection" (with either WEP or WPA as the security model), restart the router (and the laptop), and then reconnect using the WPA key. No luck so far. > I have the same problem.The problem with me that i have the wep and wpa. > I disamble the wep key and 'restart' the router (power off and on) and > connect the laptop with the wpa key and its works. I mean on the router i disamble the wep key and only use the wpa-psk /tkip config. I have the same ssid name > Hi Gerard, > [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > > I disamble the wep key and 'restart' the router (power off and on) and > > connect the laptop with the wpa key and its works. Hmmm, I've tried this as well but it hasn't worked for me. Thanks for your help, though. > I mean on the router i disamble the wep key and only use the wpa-psk /tkip > config.

Try this: - Go to your router's web interface site - Select the setting to WPA-PSK (under wireless tab). Set it with a password. Click save. - Go to Control Panel, click Wireless Network Setup - Select "Setup a new wireless..." - Follow the setup step-by-step. - Just make sure though, you're putting the same SSID as what you have in your router's web interface site. - Also, select Manual for the password. THis way, you would have to put the same password as what you have in the router's web. - I recommend having a portable drive when you set this up, that way, all you have to do is connect your pen drive to whatever computer you want it wirelessly. Goodluck! - >-----Original Message----- >Hmmm, I've tried this as well but it hasn't worked for me. Thanks for your [quoted text clipped - 18 lines] >> > >. Gal, Thanks for the feedback. I'll give it a shot tonight. I hadn't tried using this wizard before ... maybe it's the magic ticket! > Try this: > - Go to your router's web interface site [quoted text clipped - 45 lines] > >> > > >. When I went from WEP to WPA-PSK I had the same problem. The cure for me was to go the router's Wireless Advanced Settings page and change "Authentication Type" back to the default value of "Auto." For some reason, "Shared Key" does not work with WPA-PSK ..... go figure. > Gal, > [quoted text clipped - 51 lines] >> >> > >> >. Shared key authentication is a WEP specific feature and is not utilized for WPA secured connections.
