Wifi issue?

« on: October 03, 2009, 03:03:55 PM »

I don't know if this is a handset or wifi issue so sorry if this in the wrong place. I just got my handset and since it has wifi i wanted to make it so I could lock my network. Now I pretty sure i did so because I still see my router on networks but I can't access it, and there lies the problem. It shows as unlocked but I can't get on. Any help?

When you click on the tile showing your network, it should ask you for the WEP key. Once input correctly the phone should confirm that it has successfully connected to your network.

What if you drag your home network to the trash can and try to search for it again? If it still finds your network, but pressing it does not allow present you with the pop-up to enter your WEP key, then I'd say there is something wrong.
I actually had to take my 1st one back to Best Buy(could not connect it to my home network) where the girl who was helping me tried to tether my phone to her Touch Pro using the WinMo wifi application and the phone could not even find her hotspot(tee hee) nor could it find any other hotspots in the store. My replacment found an Apple hotspot in the store(her phone was unfortunately dead by the time my replacement was active) and successfully connected to my home network.
