It works even though there is no option listed as 'WPA2'). WPA2 AES is ON and that is the real key to ensuring wireless security (just select 'WPA' in the HD200 wireless config.

I also turned off MAC address control (for now) since I did not want to hook Enuwi-N up to my PC and have it install drivers just to determine its MAC address - Once again MAC address control is not much security for a decent hacker to overcome anyway.

I enabled broadcast of my SSID for HD200 use to simplifies things / or to get it to find it (hackers can easily sniff it out anyway even when you turn off broadcasting) Seems some others have had success with the Enuwi-N (although I don't know how far the router is from the HD200 in their cases). I also considered a highly-rated wireless Draft 802.11n extender (repeater / access point), but will first wait for the wireless adapter to arrive (tomorrow) or for my brother and I to run a CAT6 cable to the distant room (will be a fair amount of effort to get cable all the way there but will be well worth it in the long run). I have ordered another 802.11n Draft 2.0 USB adapter (same brand as the one I had decent success with same chipset as Encore again) but with 2 external 2dbi antennae (not a typo) to extended the range a bit. Unfortunately my other adapter, while it works well in the afore-mentioned room and in a room on the other side of the house on the same floor, it doesn't seem (may experiment a little more today) to work well enough in the room on the other floor (also on the opposite side of house) even though in a PC on other side of that same distant room, the other adapter does work well enough to get around 40mbps receive speed, so I don't know if it is also partially the HD200 wireless support. My other Ralink 2870-based USB adapter sees about 8 networks with the HD200 in the same location! The Enuwi-N barely finds my own SSID, let alone any others (none found), when the HD200 is in the room adjacent to the router (Draft 2.0 of 802.11n). Luckily I had another adapter with the same chipset to test with / compare to (use two of them for my wireless computer clients). I almost wonder whether I got a dud, although the fact that it works at all makes me assume it isn't defective. (I love SageTV and the HD200 though, in conjunction with the HD-PVR). I a VERY disappointed in this wireless adapter's performance with my HD200. I ordered the Enuwi-N with my HD200 bundle (for $25 more). Of course I'm sure it depends on what is in the new HD200 firmware so probably has to be an RaLink 2870 chipset, but if anyone out there has other adapters based on any of the above give it a try and report back.ДЄnd then an untested RA 2870 chipset adapters list: Since the WDTV is basically the same innards as the HD200. The WDTV community has been successful getting adapters with the following chipsets to work: I'm curious if any other chipsets might work with the HD200 wireless.

I'll update this if anyone discovers other adapters that work with the HD200 Others are reporting that other versions of the DWA-160 with atheros-based chipset will not work.

D-Link DWA-160 adapter (5Ghz) (UPDATE: This is a version B1 - product #: BWA 160NA.B1.

Thought I'd begin a 'known working' listing so here goes:
