Yes, the SB should support WPA/PSK/TKIP just fine: I use that myself. And, yes, PSK is the three-letter-acronym for "password"... Pre-shared means "you have to enter this in each device".
Make sure you enter it -exactly- the same and have no trailing spaces at the end on the SB. If you're going from a longer key to a shorter one, delete the characters at the end, not space over them. The "personal" mode is what you want. The other mode requires a server for authentication and really isn't worth the trouble and the SB doesn't support it anyway. :) The differences between WPA and WPA2 basically boil down to two things: WPA = TKIP Encryption, AES was "optional" WPA2 = AES Encryption, TKIP is "optional" There is some minor tweakage to the algorithms due to potential weaknesses in WPA, but those weaknesses don't have a known exploit yet. Either should be secure, and either is far more secure then WEP which isn't secure at all. :) The Squeezebox supports both WPA/TKIP and WPA2/AES. Which you use depends on other devices on your network and which they can handle. -- snarlydwarf ------------------------------------------------------------------------ snarlydwarf's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1179 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=24556 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
