Windows 7 - Can I Repeat?

  Jack \(MVP-Networking\). replied...

Hi
The data sheet of the product should state if it can act as a Repeater.
If it can not, you can lay a cable to a second location thta would allow
better transmission, and connect the Access Point to the main Router
(http://www.ezlan.net/Distance.html ). Cable connection works better since
you get the full bandwitdh of the Access Point (Repeater cuts it to half).

WEP - stil insecure? Windows 7 Just t make sure I am not missing something, I thought I'd throw out these questions. . . Is WEP still as insecure as it was reported to be circa 2001? What if you have WEP into a network that requires logging in to the server (like a 2003 Windows server is WEP still an issue? Can you "make WEP secure"? Is there any valid reason to use WEP in a business environment?

At the very moment I switch from WPA-PSK to WEP, replacing only the encryption mode and the key(s), everything works fine.

Strange problem. My wife's laptop - XP SP2 cannot connect to our WAP that has WEP 128 bit security. She can connect to other wireless networks with (possibly) 64 Bit WEP. (I don't know the setup of this other network but I'm guessing at 64 bit from the password length). Does XP not connect to 128 bit WEP? - - Asking a question?

Vista Laptop Won't Accept 6 Character WEP Key Windows 7 I have a Vista Laptop and need to connect to a router that is operating with a non hexadecimal 6 character WEP key. The other PCs connecting to it are all XP machines and have no difficulty to make WPA an option for you. Or buying a new router that supports WPA. WEP is not safe at all. Not sure why you can't make these changes.

You have to go into the START CONNECT TO , choose your connections , go into the settings for that connection Choose WEP and then choose SHARED KEY (if it is one) and then type in yor WEP KEY.

DLink GWL-G630 Entry Point Problem - wlanapi.dll Windows 7 Since upgrading my Acer laptop (Travelmate 2300) to XP SP3, I cannot use the Dlink utility. I receive the following error: 'The procedure entry point apsGetInterfaceCount could not be located and re-installed the drivers / software, but no improvement. Web search suggests compatibility problem with Dlink driver / dll. Whilst I still have wireless connectivity, the Dlink utilities do not work. It seems this is an SP3 issue - other users report the It seems XPSP3 adds a new version of wlanapi.dll that conflicts and replaces the Dlink DLL. I have written to Dlink, but am not holding my breath. The following appears on the 'Tech ARP' site: Certain new wireless API introduced quite long ago in KB918997, and now integrated into SP3. The Dlink package could include some other version of this dll, because the Microsoft's wlanapi.dll does not have export function named "apsSearchInterface". IMHO Dlink should work with MS to resolve this issue. Regards, - -PA It isn't just D
