I have replaced my Speedtouch router with a Netgear DG834G Wireless
ADSL Firewall Router, in order that I can get online wirelessly with
my PowerBook. And it works. But it works only when the Security
Option I choose is 'Disable'.
The problem seems to be that the Netgear interface, and internet
Connect (Mac OS X 10.4.3) don't seem to offer compatible security
options.
Netgear offers three options:
WEP (Wired equivalent privacy)
WPA-PSK (Wifi protected access preshared key)
WPA-802.1x
And Internet Connect offers:
WEP Password
WEP 40/128-bit hex
WEP 40/128-bit ASCII
LEAP
WPA Personal
WPA Enterprise
WPA2 Personal
WPA2 Enterprise
802.1x WEP
I wanted to use WPA, which is stronger than WEP, and I tried pairing
up 'WPA-PSK' from Netgear with 'WPA Personal' from Internet Connect,
but the wi-fi connection stops working when I do this.
If I select 'WPA-802.1x' from Netgear, this requires a Radius server
- I have no idea what that is.
Does anyone know what I should be doing to get WPA encryption?
Mike
