I have SpeedTouch 580 router in my home and I want to use
(WPA-PSK) to connect my laptop.
How can check if wireless client and clientmanager are compatible with it or not?

Thankx in advance..
 
I quick google search tells me that the SpeedTouch 580 is WPA-PSK compatable;


So then it is down to the wireless card in you PC, I presume you are XP?

If you create a trial wireless connection do you have the option of enabling WEP/WPA/WPA2 etc?

If not then you will need to buy a new wireless card. You can buys them anywhere for like a tenner nowadays!

Hey,

Don't forget that a firmware upgrade will often get your WPA and WPA2. Check that before changing your hardware.
