BT Voyager 2110 and WPA Setup

[#1]

Does anyone have an easy way to set up WPA, I have two laptops, one Win 98 and one XP plus an Archos 705 running Opera

[#2]

Here are the instructions for the Voyager 2091 , I think the 2100 is very similar.

Just had a look at the BT web site and at the CD that came with the router plus the Win 98 1065 Laptop card, they all say yes we all support WPA, but why do you want to know, we have 128 bit WEP that's good enough, any comments on that please

[#4]

128-bit WEP is reasonably secure but WPA-PSK is much more so and tends to be easier to set up.  WPA has an additional advantage - for some reason WEP keys can need "refreshing" at intervals, i.e. the connection can suddenly stop working and needs the WEP key(s) re-entering (I've had this happen with a few different hardware combinations so it's not confined to any one manufacturer) whereas with WPA, once it is set up and working it tends to stay that way.

Using ethernet connection how do we change both router and usb adapter to WPA ?
Oh think someone answered this...... must wake up !

[#6]

yep, I know that WPA is said to be more secure, but BT  reckons you dont need it so wont tell you how., plus not sue yet if my Archos supports WPA.

[#7]

I have just checked my Archos and it Does support WPA and WPA2, now back to my question  how do you do it on a 2110?

[#8]

Just taken a look and it seems fairly straightforward to me.
Advanced > Wireless > Encryption
As per the attached screengrab.

[#9]

but thats for the 2091, there is no mention on the 2110 pages

[#10]

The 2110 will be the same I would have thought. What firmware version are you using? Might be worth updating it if it isn't the latest.
I've a 2110 knocking about somewhere but it's a little late for me to start messing around with it. We have one on the test rig at work so can check tomorrow if you give this thread a nudge then.

[#11]

I had my 2110 last July, and I see from another thread that its at the end of its life,  just looked at 192.168.1.1, sorry just found it, not on the bit of the page i was looking at

[#12]

OK I have nearly psyched myself up, Can I do it all via wireless or should I did out my ethernet cable, I propose to do it on the XP first then the Win98, the Archos looks dead easy.
Is it also OK to  use the same code string as was used on WEP or must I dream up somethink new?

[#13]

If you are changing / setting the wireless encryption then you can't do the changes via wireless because as soon as you change it on the router you will not have any access via wireless. This kind of change is always better via a wired connection.
WPA uses an up to 64 character encryption string I think so you can use the same string as you used for WEP.

thanks, the 2110 I think comes with 128 WEP enabled, the old code was 13 characters, my hex maths arnn't that good nowdays
