Wireless wpa How to figure out, if there is an Driver Upgrade possible for this device?

These are the two options for your Router. Don't forget to save your settings

WPA is an upgrade to the WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) standard for securing your wireless network. If you would like to secure your wireless network using WPA, you will need the following:

• WPA enabled on your Dell TrueMobile 2300 Wireless Broadband Router
  

• WPA support for your wireless clients. If you are using a Dell TrueMobile wireless client, you can check for the availability of WPA enabled software update for your wireless client at http://support.dell.com.
  

1. Log into the Web configuration of your router at http://my.router (or the default address http://192.168.2.1)
2. Click on Basic Settings.
   
3. Click on Wireless Security.
   
4. Click on the Enable Wireless Security checkbox.
   
5. Select either WEP or WPA in the Network Authentication list.
   

To setup WPA

1. Enter your pre-shared key. This key must match the key that is used by each wireless client computer associated to your router.
2. Choose a key format. This can be hexadecimal digits (0-9, A-F) or ASCII characters (any key on the keyboard).
3. WPA Group Rekey Interval specifies how often the key rotates or changes.
4. WPA Encryption allows you to select 1 of 2 possible encryption methods (TKIP and AES) - choose one that your wireless clients supports.
5. Click NEXT, then Save and Restart to apply the changes.
6. Setup the WPA on your wireless clients. Refer to the documentation that accompanied your wireless clients, or your wireless clients on-line help system for information on how to setup WPA.

The router's password is a Passphrase or the WEP or WPA orWPA2 encryption key. The Passphrase generates the WEP or WPA or WPA2 encryptionkey and this is in the router's wireless settings. To connect to your wireless router, it needs the router'swireless settings configured ie SSID, WPA or WPA2 encryption key and also thewireless cards in all the laptops and or computers needs to be configured withthese router's wireless settings. Then the laptops and desktop computers cancommunicate with your wireless router.

WEP is a weak securtiy protocol that is outdated and can be easily broken

WPA is a newer security protocol that is much harder to break with AES encryption

WPA is always recommended mode for operation over WEP.

Use WPA2 which is latest version if it is supported by device.

I do not believe that updating the driver for your network card will solve the problem, although you should always install the newest one for best operation. You can go to Compaq's support page here and see if there is an update available for your model.

If WEP worked for you and WPA doesn't, then it is an encryption problem. Encryption happens on a different layer than the driver, which simply makes your Operating System work with your hardware.

If you are running Windows XP SP1 or SP2, update the operating system to XP Service Pack 3 for best WPA/WPA2 support.

XP Service Pack 1 computers do not support WPA by default and cannot support WPA2. To upgrade an XP SP1 computer to support WPA (but not WPA2), either

• install the "Windows XP Support Patch for Wi-Fi Protected Access" (link) from Microsoft, or
• upgrade the computer to XP SP2

XP Service Pack 2 computers by default support WPA but not WPA2. To upgrade an XP SP2 computer to also support WPA2, install the "Wireless Client Update for Windows XP SP2" (link) from Microsoft.

you want to put a password on wpa security...
here's what you do, actually you are going to open the firmware of your Wireless Router.
Open Internet Explorer, at the "search engine" just type the Gateway Address (192.168.x.x) then ENTER. After that will asking for Login: admin Password: admin __ this time your on the firmware of the Router. This time will appear and select for putting a password on wpa security. Hope this might you the steps. Good luck!

try this Update the firmware in the wireless router

Broadcast SSID(if changing security, you may want to change this)

Use WPA security(some devices won't work unless WPA security)

Mixed b and g mode

use channels 1, 6 or 11. Most devices work better on these channels

Save and log out restart everything, Routers and computers. Now connect.

Drivers can be found here

Download them. When you install them, choose network.

You do have one of these?

I dont think this card can do WPA.

With this Asus wireless B adapter even the new driver dont support WPA wireless security , because right now sicne WPA is a much newer and higher type of wireless encryption only some wireless B adapter supports that and sorry to say this wireless adapter that you have don't support it even with the latest driver so it will be better to get a new wireless G adapter that supports WPA 100% , you can get the wireless adapter from Asus or from other wireless device manufacturer like Linksys, Netgear. Dlink and Belkin....

Windows XP is outdated none of driver is supporting now.

Your wireless access point or router is using WPA encryption. The VEO can only handle WEP encryption and its likely to be a hardware limitation - I doubt a firmware upgrade would appear for this. One solution is to change your network to WEP or open. Another is if you are running OpenWRT on you access point or router, you could possibly set up a virtual wireless LAN for your camera(s) using WEP while maintaining  your WPA set up for other wireless clients.
