N96 - Wlan problem with wpa / wpa2 encryption

6 replies · 8,649 views · Started 18 November 2008

Hi,

I'm just wondering if anyone else is having problems with the N96 working with a router that has either WPA or WPA2 enabled? Is this a known problem? I've had no hassle with my N96 connecting to the wireless router if WEP is on, but it throws a few errors if WPA/WPA2 is on.

My old N95 has no problem connecting to anything, just the N96.

Can someone else verify if they have had a similar experience with Wlan. I'm hoping this is something Nokia will address is future firmware updates.

Thanks for the input so far. I should have pointed out that i'm on the v11.018 firmware. I'll wait until the nsu picks up the v12 update and try again.

thanks,

Paul

I,ve had to change my netgear router on AOL from WPA/WPA2 to WEP works ok I have read some people using Sky on netgear routers having to do the same

I'm having trouble too. Mine will find the router sometimes and then sometimes won't find it. I've got a BT Homehub, but pretty sure I'm already set up for using WEP.
