problem with connection with my own wireless network

[#1]

Hi, my Xperia mini sees my network but i cant connect.  i know my WPA shared key number but even if i enter this string in password field, it just does not work.  any clue?  Thanks

this might be a little too obvious but double check the password, I had similar problems for a while and it was a typo

Hi, i have tried over + over.  is the password same as the wpa shared key # seen in my router setup page (it is a 22 character long string ;(  ).  I have also tried using static IP address setup on from settings menu but dont seem to work either. thanks for your help.

do you have 1.6 or 2.1 on your phone?

I have a client who insisted that they tried and tried but didn't work.. but at the end, it turned out her eyes have just tricked her..

To check the connectivity issue

Try changing your passkey to a shorter one (let say; abcd) but be sure you copy and paste the original passphrase into a notepad just in case you want to retain it for other devices.

Then connect.. if it could connect, then nothing wrong with your device but the way you key it in.

By the way, using static IP is irrelevant.  The main focus here is the security exchange between your device and you router/AP over the air.

Lastly, check if you're router is using MAC Filtering...

Thanks, you got it right, it was indeed a typo...
