    I have a AAO 150 with xp sp3. Can access the internet by wire and by non encryted and WEP encrypted signal. Cannot get WAP2 to be recognized. Hangs up on aquiring the network address. I have the latest Atheros drivers via Microsoft and SP3 has the prior hotfix for WAP2 recognition incorporated.

    Is anyone else having the same problem and/or found the solution?

    Thanks

    (update)

    The atheros AR5007EG handles WPA2(AES), TKIP(WPA) and WEP

    Will have to look into the settings on the router again.

    ok I figured it out.

    xp can't handle auto choice between wpa and wpa2. you have to force the router to use WPA2 and then force the router to use AES.

    I'm having the same problem. Please advise what I could do to remedy the problem. I'm not that familiar with router settings. Thanks!
