I have the 700 model base station, and the MS 802.11g
card as well. I want to use WPA encryption, and I set up
my wireless security for 256-bit WPA-SPK, and picked a
passphrase. I was able to set up my laptop to connect to
the network with this information. However, every
subsequent attempt is a dismal failure. The Broadband
Network Utility tells me in the 'connection status' that
I have an incorrect security key, which is simply
ludicrous, as nothing has changed in the interim. I try
re-entering it, and it just keeps telling me I have the
wrong one. There is other very bizarre behavior as well -
if I look at the network connection in the control
panel, it thinks I'm using WEP, not WPA, or at times it
will even think that there isn't any encryption at all.
None of this makes any sense to me at all, as my base
station config is static and nothing is changing on that
end, but whenever I try to connect my laptop to my
wireless network with WPA it just exhibits this very
bizarre behavior. I can usually get it to connect after
a couple resets and other things, but every time I
disconnect and try reconnecting after I run into the same
issues all over again. Anyone have any ideas?
Thank you,
Tom Foster
