Problem: Do Dynex products support WPA?
Solution:
Note
: To use WPA security, all your clients must be upgraded to drivers and software that
support it. At the time of this publication, a security patch download is available, for free,
from Microsoft. This patch works only with the Windows XP operating system.
Download the patch here:

You also need to download the latest driver for your Dynex wireless 802.11g desktop or
notebook network card from the Dynex support site. Other operating systems are not
supported at this time. Microsoft's patch only supports devices with WPA-enabled drivers
such as Dynex 802.11g products.
