This chapter provides solutions to problems usually encountered during the installation and operation of 

the Wireless Broadband Router. Read the description below to solve your problems. 

WPA resolves the issue of weak WEP headers, which are called initialization vectors (IV), and 

provides a way of insuring the integrity of the messages passed through MIC (called Michael or 

message integrity check) using TKIP (the Temporal Key Integrity Protocol) to enhance data 

encryption. WPA-PSK is a special mode of WPA for home users without an enterprise 

authentication server and provides the same strong encryption protection. WPA is not an official 

IEEE standard, but is based on and is expected to be compatible with the upcoming 802.11i 

security standard 

This will depend on whether or not the application is designed to be used over a network. Consult 

the application

’s user guide to determine if it supports operation over a network.
