WIFI Problems

[Stargrrl]

Still no luck with WIFI from my home I've been referred to these tips but I can find the button to toggle they are talking about, I dont see this little bar on the phone anywhere, are they talking about on the computer??

" If you are using WEP encryption on your network, you have two choices, WEP Password, or WEP hex or ASCII. Notice the little bar at the top that says “WEP Password” with an arrow next to it. If you are entering the Hexadecimal code for your WEP network, you need to toggle it to “WEP Hex or ASCII”.

Where the tips located? My iphone doesn't even bring my network up as a choice. My laptop and everything else on my wireless network is working fine. Do yo have a link for the tips or know what I should do. I have a D-Link wireless router.

1. Clik on Settings
2. Click on WiFi
3. Below "Choose a Network..." should be a list of available networks - click on the name of the network you want to join
4. When the "Enter Password" screen comes up, in the "Security" Box you will want to click where it says "WEP Password"
5. On the next screen that opens up, click on "WEP hex or ASCII"
6. Click on "Enter Password" towards the top of the screen
7. Enter your password on the password line and then click "Join" in the bottom right corner.

Hope that helps.

You also might want to delete the wi-fi it is picking up, even though locked, and type it back in. I had to do that, then put in the passcode for security. Took my husband a while to figure out why do any type of security, no one can read you puter with out a password to get into the computer. Yea right!!!!!!

Yeh this seems to be a problem with WEP encryption on the iPhone and/or D-LINK routers. You need to change the security to ASCII/hex.

If you can, upgrade your router to WPA and avoid the issue entirely. WPA is more secure anyway... WEP is pretty universally breakable.

I keep seeing information regarding to this "WEP Hex or ASCII" choice but it is completely absent on my iPhone. I have followed the directions to a tee...but it's just not there. Did they kill hex support with a software update? Why?

Are you guys still having problems with this?

The latest iPhone updates simplified the process by automatically figuring out if the key is ascii or hex.

Yes, still having major problems with this. The latest iPhone updates made this process MUCH worse, not MUCH simpler.

How, you ask? Here's my employer's HEX key.

1111111111

Whatever developer at Apple thought that the iPhone could "automatically figure out if the key is ascii or hex" didn't think it through very hard. There's NO WAY to tell if the key above is ascii or hex. None. It could be either.

In any case ... with 1.02 this key (64-bit WEP) just doesn't work with the iPhone, no matter what you do.

FYI, 1.1.1 fixed my problem. The WEP key that just wouldn't work on 1.0.2 just magically started working on 1.1.1.

[bwlomas]

I have 1.1.2 and it is not working...I don't have the option WEP Hex/ASCII. And it is not taking the password...how do I let it know if it is hex? because it is not detecting it on its own.

I got a new ipod touch yesterday and was having difficulty connecting it to my d-link router. When I stumbled upon your comment, I reset my router to WPA from WEP and presto- like magic. I searched for hours online to resolve this problem and your one bit of information solved it immediately. Mucho thanks.:wink:
