WPA Wifi Connection Issue

trojan21 · 08-07-2007, 01:11 PM

Hi guys, I've searched and tried various methods but still can't get my iphone to connect to my wifi network. I'm at work and don't remember the type of wireless router that I have because my father gave me a spare one not too long ago because the old one wasn't syncing correctly with my modem. At any rate. I'm using a WPA-TKSP encryption but my iphone keeps saying "can't connect" to my network. I remembered when I set up the router initially, there was no option for WEP, just WPA. The iphone connects without encryption but that defeats the purpose of my wanting a secure network. Is there anyone else with the same problem that was able to resolve this predicament? I'm kind of frustrated that I can't log on to my own network.

mcaram16, thanks!!!! I have updated my phone to the new version. I hope it wasn't something as simple as this (or I'll feel dumb), I'll find out later tonight when I get home.

i use WPA-personal and have no troubles... make sure your router doesnt have a cap to how many connections can be made

I had to reset the network settings to get it to work. Here is a complete walkthrough of what I did...
