From: bjrugg on 29 May 2005 07:23 I have a Belkin 7231-4 (WPA compatible) wireless router connected to a cable modem and by a lan connection to my wife's computer. I have a laptop working via the router with a WPA compatible Netgear WG511 card. I also have an Athlon x64 computer working with the router via a lan connection to a Netgear WGE101 wireless bridge(not WPA compatible). All works fine in WEP. What I want to do is replace the WGE101 with a WPA device that will allow my netwotk to go WPA. The solution is clouded by the fact that I run Windows x64 Pro on the x64 and drivers for USB devices and WIreless NIC cards are not readily available at the moment. Any recommendations would be appreciated.

In a previous reply, I recommended looking at the Viewsonic WAPBR-100, which is on sale at CompUSA: http://www.viewsonic.com/products/networking/wirelessdatanetworks/accesspoint_repeater/wapbr100/ http://www.compusa.com/products/product_info.asp?product_code=319753&pfp=cat3 Someone (bjrugg?) sent me an E-mail message (that I accidentally deleted) saying that the WAPBR-100 has bad reviews on web sites. I use a WAPBR-100 as an access point client (wireless bridge) to give wireless network access to computers that only have a wired Ethernet connection. It works fine in that application, connecting to my Belkin 802.11g wireless router and using WPA-PSK encryption. However, the product's documentation is terrible, and I had a hard time figuring out how to configure it. Please post any reply as a follow-up message in the news group for everyone to see, not as E-mail. -- Best Wishes, Steve Winograd, MS-MVP (Windows Networking).

Steve - it was me that indicated that the viewsonic had bad reviews. One review even stated that it was going to be discontinued. If you have it working as a wireless bridge (like I need in wpa mode), that is good enough for me.
