There have been several previous posts concerning Squeezebox2/3 compatability with Draytek wireless routers when trying to use WPA-PSK and WPA2. Basically it does not work. If 128 bit WEP is used, everything is fine.
There are two open bugs, #1629 and #3075, one on the 2600G series and the other on the 2800VG, but they seem substantially the same. It seems that Draytek's implementation of WPA does not like Squeezeboxes! Slim Devices reported the problem to Draytek Taiwan in July 2005 on ticket #2005071810000337. There was some activity at the time but it has all gone quiet. I chased up Draytek yesterday and they claim to still be waiting for more information from Slim Devices. Draytek did send me the latest beta firmware for my router (a 2600VG) version 2.5.8rc1 which I have installed and tested with my Squeezebox2 firmware 35 Slimserver 6.2.2 03/12/2006. No change, WEP is fine but WPA is a non starter. I was not in a position to switch my network over to WPA before now due to some older devices. These are no longer in service and I would now like to increase my wireless security but cannot because of the Squeezebox. I know everyone at Slim Devices is very busy and this problem is not a priority, but Draytek seem very responsive and willing to look at the problem. Any chance of someone reviving the ticket? Thanks PS My router allows WPA keys of 8 to 63 ascii characters or 64 hex digits. I was planning on using a 64 hex digit key - how would I enter such a key in the Squeezebox? - The field is only 63 characters long! -- blueranger ------------------------------------------------------------------------ blueranger's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=703 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=22135 _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
