Ok, I've mentioned two so far. A D-Link DWL-2100AP and an older Belkin FD7130. I communicated directly with tech support about this well over a month ago. They indicated that AES support could be obtained via the nightly builds. When that didn't work I was told that my WAP used WPA with the optional AES support and that the SB2 only supported true WPA2 AES. Ok, time for an upgrade anyway, I got the DWL-2100AP. Per the certified products list on www.wi-fi.org, the device is certifed for WPA2 Personal. Still no working AES! This is getting very frustrating since I won't tolerate encryption lower than AES and my wife won't tolerate ethernet cables in the living room. So I'm basically stuck with an SB2 that's not even usable as a boat anchor (too light). seanadams Wrote: > We have supported vanilla WPA for a long time, but AES is a new optional > part of the spec which is not even supported by most routers at this > time.

Optional AES support in WPA is not exactly new! All WAPs based on Broadcom chipsets started supporting it over a year ago. You know, little companies like Linksys, Belkin, D-Link. It would seem to me that since the SB2 has the hardware to support AES decryption, you would focus on AES support for all of these legacy products as well as the less deployed WPA2 devices. -- jcyr ------------------------------------------------------------------------ jcyr's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1761 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=16900 _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
