I have wifi implemented on my home wireless with no problem - works great.
WPA/PSK
However it would seem that when attempting to use WPA/EAP it does not work- at all!
It seems to me that given the number of reports RE: WPA/EAP not working (across multiple forumns) that there is a problem with the implementation of WPA/EAP on the N95?
Has anyone managed to connect to a secure wireless network using their N95 and EAP where the SSID is hidden? If so would they be able to assist with the exact settings they used (ignoring username/password of course).
What I am particularly interesed in is whether they set the username and realm or whether usernames are entered as domain\user. What protocols and cyphers have they selected and what is the priority?
While not expecting much assistance from Nokia, I am going to try to have a conversation with them.
I also find it interesting that many phone carriers (Australia, Telstra Optus, Vodafone are of the opinion that the N95 is not the phone that they would suggest for serious wifi users. I had multiple comments that the N95 was not targeted at this market... Bolux I said!
I will keep you posted.
Firstly, why are you hiding the SSID? It's a myth that it conceals your WiFi network as most chipsets will still see it (my Dell laptop with a Broadcom WiFi adapter has no problem and I believe most Intel ones do to). Switch it back on as it causes more problems than it cures (which is many vs none 😉 ) Have a look here
Secondly, I've had issues since my upgrade and found that a little patience seems to work wonders. For example, when I use the browser or Googlemail, when it prompts for which access point I wait, count to 5, then pick the one. So far it's been 100% plus it doesn't drop the connection until I have finished (I have power save disabled).
Wifi works fine for me, only issue is that it shows about 4 connections to my homehub when I'm asked for the access point?
Firstly thanks to all who replied. I notice the wifi topics relating to peoples inability to get their n95's talking to the work/uni networks seem to have disappeared. Have people managed to resolve their issues or have they given up?
I am attempting to connect to my work network
- no certficate is used (or required)
- Wpa / EAP (tkip)
- ssid is not broadcast
- authentication is via domain username/password
We do use oddessy client but ...
The network admins are not using device detection (mac address) for connectivity i.e i can bring my home laptop in and using the intel wifi client (not oddessy) still connects without issue.
Can someone let me know if they have had any success with WPA/EAP??
Thanks

Nope, my "wait 5 seconds before choosing my AP" works every time for me :icon14:

I use mine with no-Security, WPA & WPA2 (with and without MAC address checking) access points with absolutely no issues, except the latest firmware had decreased the signal range a slight amount. Hopefully they'll fix that next release.
My first though is.....re-enable SSID broadcast!!!! It's a total myth that this is beneficial in any sort of way and in fact causes more problems e.g. multi-access point roaming is nigh-on impossible. See here, but a general search for "SSID" and "myth" in Google will supply you with more proof.
