XP Wireless Zero Configuration
Hi! I have purchase a Aztech Wireless Router and I would like to ask how could i upgrade(etc) the Wireless Zero Configuration of XP Pro so that I could utilize WEP with 152bit or 256bit?
fyi - i could utilize the WEP to 256bit with the Client hardware, but I would like to learn if this is possible
thank you,

do you mean that Zero Configuration could only goto 128bit? And I have check out my Aztech(model NA8300) and it mention it support WPA, but I can't find it anywhere inside the router
I have got SP2 so i already have the roll-up but same, i also can't find(or don't know) wheres the WPA inside my XP Pro
cheers,

Yea... configure it in both places and you should be set to go... If you want more on the hazards of Wifi, and WEP, I have a link bookmarked as a resource for those disbelievers... :)

As indicated by its name, WEP serves to provide privacy. However, as I mentioned, its algorithms are flawed. WEP also doesn't include any support for authorization. To correct this problem, WPA has two main components:
The Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP) addresses the privacy concerns via enhanced encryption schemes.
The authentication component uses 802.1x and an authentication server to provide user-level access.
Now that being said, WPA can be cracked also, but it is much harder..

This solution is only available to members.
To access this solution, you must be a member of Experts Exchange.
The other thing you could do is go and by lots of CAT5 cable. You can install hooks in your ceilings and string the cable that way. A couple of hubs and a patch cable, and you're all set!

Just kidding, of course. Give FE an A!
