You can verify this with the command netsh wlan show hostednetwork after you started the hostenetwork. A solution to the problem would be to install a third-party hotspot software. Does anyone know a hotspot tool for Windows 8 that still supports WEP? I just stumbled across this list of Wifi sharing tools. Perhaps one of them still supports WEP.

How easy it is to replace the wireless cards on G75? Is it as hard as the G55 where you have to fully dismantle the computer? It's not bad The first time I did it, I went slower than I normally do I've taken it down so many times, it's s 20minute process now Basically get all the screws out the back, remove a trim piece to get the display screws out and pull up the keyboard Went to the retailer.
Apparently mine was the second last piece they sold and the next day someone else bought the last one. Can i show it to my retailers service centre since its still under warranty, maybe they can change the network adapter harware or smthn? The warranty for repairs is through Asus, the retailer will only replace the whole unit Yup its an authorized ASUS reseller only.
Tried it to many other networks it connects to 3 out of 5 weird! I sure hope it works out! I'd like to attribute this to Windows It sucks terribly, and I'm currently burning a 7 disc It just plain sucks in every way On another note.
But even if i watch any tv show or a movie the surround sound is always on. Do you have some other sort of security activated on your wireless router, such as MAC address filtering? If not, you may have some freeloading neighbors taking up the remaining DHCP slots also. I'm back setup like a like on Even with a premier wireless card, my WiFi was running like crap High ping, home page would take a second to load, and as time went by, the link speed to my router would slowly decrease Terrible OS, they better put out Service Pack to remedy how terrible it is Now I can enjoy my internet again An attacker can take as many shots as they want at guessing your credentials without being on the same network, cycling through the entire dictionary — and beyond — in relatively short order.
WPA3 will protect against dictionary attacks by implementing a new key exchange protocol. WPA3 will ditch that in favor of the more secure — and widely vetted — Simultaneous Authentication of Equals handshake. The other benefit comes in the event that your password gets compromised nonetheless.
With this new handshake, WPA3 supports forward secrecy, meaning that any traffic that came across your transom before an outsider gained access will remain encrypted. With WPA2, they can decrypt old traffic as well. When WPA2 came along in , the Internet of Things had not yet become anything close to the all-consuming security horror that is its present-day hallmark. No wonder, then, that WPA2 offered no streamlined way to safely onboard these devices to an existing Wi-Fi network.
And in fact, the predominant method by which that process happens today — Wi-Fi Protected Setup — has had known vulnerabilities since WPA3 provides a fix.
Wi-Fi Easy Connect, as the Wi-Fi Alliance calls it, makes it easier to get wireless devices that have no or limited screen or input mechanism onto your network. You've probably heard that you should avoid doing any sensitive browsing or data entry on public Wi-Fi networks. That's because with WPA2, anyone on the same public network as you can observe your activity, and target you with intrusions like man-in-the-middle attacks or traffic sniffing.
On WPA3? Not so much. It does so using an established standard called Opportunistic Wireless Encryption. As with the password protections, WPA3's expanded encryption for public networks also keeps Wi-Fi users safe from a vulnerability they may not realize exists in the first place. In fact, if anything it might make Wi-Fi users feel too secure. Even with the added technical details, talking about WPA3 feels almost premature. While it will take a while for WPA3 to fully roll out, the important thing is that the transition process is beginning in This means safer, more secure Wi-Fi networks in the future.
Here's the list of modern after security methods used on wireless networks, from best to worst:. Security protocols are important, and the later the version the better your network is protected. But it is also crucial to set a solid password for your network.
