WPA key is defined as a limited subset of 7-bit ASCII, so that's already covered. Any valid WPA key can be entered on the Radio. The character set for SSID is however not defined, it's actually just spec'ced as bytes, so the text representation is up to the implementation. Adding the entire 8-bit ASCII set to the text entry control would slow down everyone else's entry speed significantly just to cater to an edge case. I'll ask again - why would you want to set your SSID to something that looks like a CRC error? It doesn't provide any additional security so I just don't see the point. Having said that, it would probably work if you stopped hiding the SSID as wellwhich is another pointless non security-enhancing measure that people seem to think is a good idea. -- radish 'HELP ME RAISE MONEY FOR CHILDREN'S CANCER RESEARCH!'

I was a little unclear but I was agreeing with Radish as I have WPA2-AES using XP as well. -- vw195 vw195's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=32644 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=69500 ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio

Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Wi-Fi connection details
If you want to secure your network you should learn a bit about wireless security. Crazy SSID or non-broadcast ID do absolutely nothing to secure your network. Nothing. Any idiot with a a tool to break your encryption will also be able to find your network whether or not it has an SSID. Also, the characters valid for your passphrase has nothing to do with the characters allowed for an SSID. A number of products don't properly support WPA nor WPA2. The most popular product I can think of is called Windows. XP doesn't (generally) support WPA nor WPA2. Well, if you call a pass phrase of *exactly* 13 characters support - that's not to spec. WPA2 with AES is the only thing you need to set up and then pick yourself a decent pass phrase. WEP can be broken faster than you can type a new pass phrase and WPA with TKIP can be figured out pretty quickly according to reports (never done that one myself). -- MelonMonkey Bruno *'Twisted Melon - Fine Mac OS Software' (http://twistedmelon.com)* MelonMonkey's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=8466 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=69500 ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio
Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Wi-Fi connection details
I'm not tech savvy enough to understand exactly what you are asking. But I can tell you that my network is WPA2 with a 63 character key generated from one of those web sites that randomly selects a combination of numbers, letters, symbols.. and all of my SB players including Radio connect fine. All players will ask for you to enter your SSID if your SSID is hidden. -- toby10 toby10's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=12553 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=69500 ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio

Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Wi-Fi connection details
WPA uses a key made up not of the full 255 character ASCII set but the so-called printable ASCII set (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ASCII#ASCII_printable_characters). As far as I know, Radio will let you enter any of those. -- radish 'HELP ME RAISE MONEY FOR CHILDREN'S CANCER RESEARCH!'
