I have a US Robotics wireless router and an Aria Extreme PCMCIA card in
my Pismo. Both are 802.11g.
I have been running it for quite some time, the setup works great.
I would like to turn on the encryption, but can't find anywhere in
OSX.4.1 to setup the keys. How is this done? On my thinkpad (running
125Mbps), there is a utility that comes with the USR wireless card that
allows me to configure it (thinkpad) and I can configure the router via
a web browser from any machine, so I can setup everything except my Pismo.
I've looked in the Airport Admin Utility and the Airport Setup
Assistant and they either won't find my access point or there is no
place I've seen to configure the WEP. Mainly they won't finishThe AP
does show up in different places though, obviously, I'm using it right
now on this Pismo. Because it's not an actual 'airport' base station,
it doesn't all fit together as smoothly I guess
System preferences, network.
From there, pick your interface either via the main window or the
'Show:' drop down box.
On my machine, once I unlock the panel, I have a few things I can
change. To change the key and encryption type, I had to change the "By
default, join:" drop down box (SSID is disabled on my AP, so I had to
specify it manually) by picking 'Preferred networks' (this is also a
good way to keep your card from wandering onto a neighbours WLAN).
Once you choose that option, a new window will appear. Click on the
plus button to enter in your SSID and choose the encryption used.
If you get lost, there is
http://www.colorado.edu/its/docs/wireless/MacOSX1setup.html to use for
reference.
