Hi
I have a WiFi network at home (802.11g), the network does not broadcast a network name and also has 64bit WEP security active.
When I turn on Wirless Lan On I cannot find my network.
When im out and about and turn Wireless Lan On, I can connect to any network thats available.
Has anyone got any ideas how i can setp up my PDA to work with my Wireless Network at home?
Many thanks
Matt
I did a search and have been unable to find an answer to my question. I recently bought a HTC Juno/Tmobile Shadow and can not get it to connect to my college's wifi network. Does this phone support WPA-Enterprise authentication?
Here are the settings for the network
SSID: Wireless-Pittnet
WPA-Enterprise
TKIP
802.1x enabled
PEAP w/ MS-CHAP V2
Hi,
I have a SPV M700 and I am attempting to connect it to my wireless router. The Router has WPA as the security. I have gone through the confirguation on the SPV M700 but I get stuck on the to the EAP Type. I cannot untick the box which states "Use IEEE802.1X Network work Access Control". The only options I have is select either PEAP or Smart Card or Certificate. If I then hit the properties button for either the PEAP or Smart Card or Certificate. It states "cannot log on the wireless network. This network requies a Personal certificate to positively Identify you". If I hit the finish button all it states is my network is available and I am unable to connect.
Is there anyway of connecting to my router via WAP? How do I get a PEAP or Smart Card or Certificate from my router ?
I know its bad form to reply to your own post but I think I have discovered the problem. Its the Zoom Router that I am using that is causing the Problem.
I borrowed a Dlink router and it connects with no problems straight away. I also discovered I can connect to unsecured networks in my street also with no problems.
Anyhow I spend hours trying to configure the Zoom Router from no security to full security to no avail. I have change every setting on the router, once again to no avail. I have contacted Zoom themselves to find out what could be the issue. So far they are clueless.
So my advice is don't use a Zoom Router with WM5 or WM6
So anyone got a suggestions for a router that works with there SPV M700?
Hi
I'm using a T-Mobile MDA Vario III. I would like to be able to connect to my home network via the wifi/wlan (what's the difference).
On my router I use WPA/WPA2 with PSK authentication - not 802.1x.
I ave never been able to configure the VIII to connect, it always wants use this 802.1x thing and it's greyed out.
Is there some way of getting rid of it? If I use open network it connects ok.
Please help I am heading for a breakdown!
thanks
Mike
I think you are missing how these things work.....
WPA is either PSK or Enterprise - PSK you enter a key (Pre-Shared-Key), Enterprise the key is dynamically assigned. This is the same for WPA2. The reason it is greyed out when you select WPA or WPA2 is it isn't an option, with WPA-PSK & WPA2-PSK a manual key is mandatory.
If you use WPA or WPA2 (Enterprise) then you MUST have a centralised Authentication mechanism in place (RADIUS).
Does this help?

Ummm... not really, sorry.
I've attached a couple of screen shots if that helps.
On my router (it's a Belkin) the ieee 802.1x is off when I select wpa2 and psk (i don't have anything for tkip, and have no idea about what the other settings mean when it's not psk).
It seems incredibly complicated this wifi caper. I've never manged to get to connect to any other network except mine with no security.

No, the reason the options on the 802.1x page are not available is because they don't apply when using Pre-Shared-Keys.
TKIP & AES are the encryption methods used, WPA/WPA2 is the authentication method, they are independant of each other but reliant on each other as part of the standard. i.e. if you want to use WPA-PSK authentication then you have to use TKIP or AES encryption.
I am still confused over your question? I have a HTC Kaiser and it is configured to access multiple networks - one uses WPA2-Enterprise/AES, a couple use WPA-PSK/TKIP, another one uses WPA2-PSK/AES and a few are just Open with no encryption. They all work though.....

OK, let's approach it a different way round then. How do I configure my VIII to connect to my router, using a secure method?
Thanks

On your Wireless router or Access Point you enable WPA-PSK or WPA2-PSK for your WiFi network (SSID) and enter a Pre-Shared-Key, depending on the device you may or may not get options for the Encryption type, if you do it will either be TKIP or AES. My access point allows me to use either, however older equipment may only support TKIP, even older equipment may only support WPA-PSK as well and not WPA2-PSK.
Lets pretend you use the WiFi SSID 'MY-WIRELESS' and use WPA-PSK Authentication with TKIP Encryption and a PSK of 'My-H0m3-W1F1'. Lets also assume you aren't making this a hidden network (Broadcast SSID).
On you VIII device you then enable the WiFi (or Wireless its the same thing) when you see the 'MY-WIRELESS' SSID you select it which should open the 1st page of the configuration. Select 'Connects to: The Internet' and click next, then select 'Authentication: WPA-PSK' and 'Data Encryption: TKIP' and enter ''My-H0m3-W1F1' in the 'Network key:' box. Click next, ignore the next page and click finish. That's it.

That's it! Just like that. I don't believe it.
Thanks muchly!
The Belkin router uses wpa or wpa2 and aes( according to belkin site). Authentication is via 802.1x or PSK, not both.
I did have the VIII set for tkip originally, and wpa2-psk. Set at WPA-psk aes and it went straight on.
Thanks so much Andy. Ur a diamond.
Hi all,
At my work we have a WiFi network with the following settings:
WPA2
PSK Auth
TKIP
WEP-104
The problem is, I can't connect with my HTC Tattoo. It shows the network as WEP and not as WPA2. My home network has WPA2 and I can connect to that one.
Does anyone have an idea to get this to work on my Tattoo? Or is there any update or app to solve this problem?
Many thanks!
