So I have an old(ish) windows laptop running XP SP2. I have a new Apple AirPort Wireless Router, using WPA2 security. I knew that XP SP2 did not have WPA2 support on it, so I got the download from a friend who had a WiFi connection. I installed said update on my laptop, and, lo and behold, jack squat changed. My computer still gives me error messages because my password is the wrong length (which is clearly isn't) and doesn't give me the option for WPA2 security when I go to network setup. So why didn't the update do anything? Am I stuck using my MacBook for all online needs? I really want the internet to work on my other laptop because I have some games I wish to play online. Anyway, do I need to install the router drivers to my laptop somehow? How do I do this?
