XP WPA.
Note: The file that Microsoft has made available works only with
Windows XP. Other operating systems are not supported at this
time. You also need to ensure that the wireless card’s manufacturer
supports WPA and that you have downloaded and installed the
latest driver from their support site.
Supported Operating Systems:
• Windows XP Professional
• Windows XP Home Edition
1. Under Windows XP, click “Start > Control Panel > Network
Connections”.
2. Right-click on the “Wireless Networks”. Ensure the “Use
Windows to configure my wireless network settings” check box
is checked.
3. Under the “Wireless Networks” tab, click the “Configure” button.
4. For a home or small business user, select “WPA-PSK” under
“Network Administration”.
Note: Select WPA (with radius server) if you are using this computer
to connect to a corporate network that supports an authentication
server such as a radius server. Please consult your network
administrator for further information.
5. Select “TKIP” or “AES” under “Date Encryption”. This setting will
have to be identical to the Router that you set up.
6. Type in your encryption key in the “Network key” box.
Important: Enter your pre-shared key. This can be from eight to 63
characters and can be letters, numbers, or symbols. This same key
must be used on all of the clients that you set up.
7. Click “OK” to apply settings.
What’s the difference between 802.11b, 802.11g, 802.11a, and
draft 802.11n?
Currently there are four levels of wireless networking standards, which
transmit data at very different maximum speeds. Each is based on
the designation for certifying network standards. The most common
wireless networking standard, 802.11b, transmits information at
11Mbps; 802.11a and 802.11g work at 54Mbps; and draft 802.11n
works at 108Mbps. See the following chart for more detailed
information.
