Setting up Netgear DG834G

[Michel Treisman]

	Thanks to everybody who gave me suggestions when I had difficulty  
emplementing encryption to connect my powerbook with a Netgear router.
The answer was simple (as usual) when I found it:  I had not checked  
Allow station to broadcast its name (SSID).
When I made the router broadcast its name, I was able to select WPA- 
PSK on the router, and WPA Personal on Internet Connect.

And that worked.

Mike

Setting up Netgear DG834G problem

[Michel Treisman]

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
