I am using WPA-PSK AES on the Buffalo Router (Model WHR-HP-G54) with the stock firmware Version 1.40 (The newest as Buffalo Stopped selling and supporting these great routers for some reason) The PCI Wireless card is a Netgear WG311 V2 With the newest drivers that Netgear offers on the web and the OS is XP SP2
Here Is A Netgear Site Explaining the Wireless security the WG311 V2 supports (I don't understand that page fully though) I don't broadcast my SSID but for a test I disabled all encryption and I set it to broadcast the SSID And it still did not connect I can however connect to my neighbors unsecured WIFI Network just fine is it my router? or the card?
Thanks

Do you accidentally have MAC address filtering turned on?
Can you connect to the router with other wireless devices?

Check your add/remove programs for
Hotfix Q815485. It's a fix that MS added ... some time ago to add WPA capability to windows, however it wreaks havoc with certain wireless cards that had WPA built into their software config. The above link to the Netgear site has instuctions for how to work around the problem. Perhaps that will help?
