How to protect Network Password from wireless desktop adapter
« on: October 30, 2011, 02:13:12 PM »

Hi all,

I am making my wireless network with Wireless router DIR-600 and DWA-525 desktop adapters for my office. I created a most secured type of network WPA2. And I have to create profile for DWA-525 desktop adapter to connect to my network and it requires the network secret key to connect. But This secret key is viewable from the "Network connection manager" when one can click on modify network and click on "Show text in the password field" by everyone using this computer (I mean by all other office staff). I don't want to let any one know my wireless network secret key. Is there any way to protect the key while having the computers automatically connected to wireless network. More information is below

Model: DWA-525
Hardware Version: A1
Firmware Version: 1.10
Operating System: Windows 7
Service Pack: 1

Best regards
Murtaza

You should need to remove the profile from the PC. However this defeats the purpose of using that profile. I would either use wired connections for those PCs that you have concerns about or leave the PCs on and connected to the wireless with out creating any profiles.
