DWL-510 encryption help

Slime101 · 2 Apr 2009 at 18:06

According to the D-link australia website the DWL-510 pci wireless adapter can do WPA encryption however it requies you to use the windows config tools - when doing this i only get the option for WEP.

Does anyone know if this card can really do WPA or am i stuck with no access on that machine til i buy a new card??

What is wrong with WEP for short term, realistically, who is going to hack your connection?

What version of Windows are you using, and do you have the latest drivers for the adapter?

I dont want to use WEP because all other systems on the network use WPA-PSK and i have a nas server on the network which contains everything for my business, and home life which whilst not "critical" is still private and i'd rather it stayed that way.

I'm using XP PRO and have the latest drivers....they were made in 2003!
