Can't connect to WiFi network with a WEP3 password

i have trouble connecting my ipod touch 3G to my Wifi hat home. we are using a WEP3 key, but i can't find a way to tell my ipod to use that.
i guess it is autimaticall yon WEP1 - is there any way to change it?

Suggest to apple to support WEP3 for iOS devices. In my house I control wireless setting, because my parents don't know how, but really check with your dad and tell him how much this messes up your iPod experience.
Suggestions to Apple should go here: http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipodtouch.html
However, I doubt that Apple (or any other manufacturer) will do much on WEP; it is easily cracked by hackers (in minutes) and has been deprecated by the standards group since 2004. Move to WPA2.

  • With new OS6 I can't connect to wifi network with my iPhone

    Ever since I upgraded to the new iOS6, my phone will no longer connect to my wifi networks. It only works on 3G. Tried to reset networks and various other things to no avail. Not happy ...

    Hello,
    I tried the Apple Support recommendation but nothing works, my Ipad mini still can't connect to wifi network, the wifi function in the setting menu it's not available.
    I would like to send my device for technical support in USA. I'm live in Venezuela.
    How can I do it?
    Thank in advance

  • Can't connect to wifi network after iOS update

    Can't connect to wifi network after iOS update.

    This does not work in my case.
    Situation: we have wifi at home using WPA encryption.
    The iPod Touch 8GB connected seamless to this network and anything was ok. After some days i could no longer connect, the iPod told me "connection to network 'networkname here' failed". Deleting the network and reenter the (correct) passphrase was no help, but changing the SSID on the router was helpful: the iPod could connect again ... for several days.
    Now things stopped working again. Resetting network settings did not help either.
    The iPod can see the network, is asking me for the passphrase and after several seconds telling me: can't connect. On the router log i don't even see a dhcp request, but other laptops work fine with the same wifi network.
    That's a mess, i cannot and will not change the SSID every some days just to get the iPod working again.

  • I can't connect to wifi network and bluetooth on iPhone 4S.  Need help.  Have already rebooted everything and reset network setting

    I can't connect to wifi network and bluetooth on iPhone 4S.  Need help.  Have already rebooted everything and reset network setting

    I have the same problem; tried a phone restore, both restoring data and setting up as new phone with factory settings, reset all settings, re-boot, remove apostrophe, put in fridge, you name it!
    I think there's quite a few iphone 4s users with the same problem!
    I called Apple they said it's a hardware problem, but it has worked for nearly two years; they say go to the Apple store and they can provide a replacement phone for approx. £150!
    I've been into the O2 shop where I bought it and they knew the problem exactly; said they had sent a few phones off for repair and had them back awith a report they cannot fix it because it's a software problem!
    An assistant in the shop had the same issues; logic says it's a software problem and hopefully Apple will fix it with a patch but at the moment they seem to be avoiding everyones comments!
    If anyone else has any ideas these would be appreciated?

  • I have Trouble Connecting To WiFi Network with My Mac, while the rest of the technology connects to it perfectly...

    I have used my Mac for almost a year now, and I've always had no problem connecting to WiFi, but today - suddenly I've lost the connection and now I can't see the WiFi Network in the list... I have 2 WiFi's connected together at home - TP Link and Netgear...
    The internet still works on a PC which is connected through Ethernet, and the Mac itself works when it's connected through Ethernet... The first thought I had was the problem with WiFi settings, but my IPhone can connect to internet and work perfectly... So next thought was that it was a problem with my mac, but my dad has the same problem with his Mac (he also used this WiFi Network fine before)... So any thoughts?

  • Can't connect to WiFi networks via tray icon, manually adding works fine

    I've searched for about a day for anyone having a similar issue and have come up with nothing so far.  I have an older HP laptop with Windows 7 32 bit that is having issues with connecting to WiFi networks.  It will find all available wireless
    networks just fine, and when I select mine, it comes up with the prompt to enter my password, however when I hit OK to connect, the prompt disappears and nothing happens or responds afterwards.  A few things that I've tried in order to troubleshoot and
    narrow down the problem:
    -I've tried connecting to two different wireless networks; one with WPA2 encryption and one with no encryption, both have the same issue (obviously the non-encrypted wireless network doesn't prompt for a password, but once I hit connect all prompts disappear
    and acts as if I did nothing).
    -I've added the WPA2 encrypted network manually to my list of wireless networks, and once I do this it connects just fine.  When removed, it disconnects and the issue happens again (this confirms that the wireless password I'm entering is correct and
    that there are no issues with the wireless network itself, as well as other devices working flawlessly on the same wireless network).
    -I've disabled all firewalls and antivirus through this whole process, did not make a difference.
    -I've reset winsock which didn't make a difference.
    -I've run a virus scan, no viruses on the laptop.
    I've run out of ideas as to what would prevent being able to connect to a wireless network through the normal process of finding nearby access points, putting in your password, and having it work.  I understand that I could simply leave the wireless
    network added manually, but this is not an option for when the laptop is taken elsewhere as having to add whatever wireless network I'm near manually is not something that should have to be done.

    I would recommend to update the driver for you wireless nic as a first step. Also, if installed, get rid of third party utilities that 'manage' your wireless network(s)
    Also check if you can
    clear out the remembered connections i've encountered issues before when a network with same ssid but different connection settings was stored by windows.

  • Can't connect to wireless network with Apple Computers (WRT54G)

    Hi.
    I have had a password protected router (WRT54G) for over two years that any pc will connect to if I give them the password.  However, my roommate has an apple laptop and he can't connect, no matter how many times we try.  I just got an ipod touch, and it can't connect to the network either.  We are inputting our password correctly - why can't apple computers connect to my wireless network??
    Again, my router is a WRT54G.
    Thanks !!!
    Message Edited by Debo24 on 05-24-2009 06:41 PM

    Make sure you enter the correct password...To check your Wireless Settings follow this link
    If your Wireless Security is WEP then use WEP Key1 and not the Passphrase, make sure to enter a dollar sign on your Apple Computer when you attempt to connect...If your Wireless Security is WPA/WPA2 then use the WPA Shared key and no dollar sign is required...

  • Help, just had my iphone 3 but can't connect to wifi put in the correct password but won't accept it, any ideas??

    Help, just had my iphone 3 but can't connect to wifi, i get as far as the password put in the correct password but it won't accept it, any ideas?? Thanks

    What type of encryption are you using with your wireless network -WEP or WPA?
    If your wireless router supports both which it should unless it is quite old and you are using WEP, try switching to WPA which is much more secure than WEP which is important if you have a Windows PC or any Windows based device connected to your network.
    In addition, when was the last time you checked Netgear's website to see if there is a firmware update available for your wireless router model that you haven't installed?

  • Cannot connect to WPA network with non-ascii password

    In my office somebody thought it would be a good idea to encrypt the wireless network with a WPA password containing a non-ascii character. It is fine by the WPA2 standards, but the airport password prompt doesn't allow me to introduce suche characters.
    I have also tried to put the password directly in Keychain but it didn't work either. Besides, I tried the /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/Apple80211.framework/Versions/Current/Resourc es/airport utility and it also didn't work.
    Any ideas, experiences, comments??
    Thanks a lot

    Anyway, it seems strange to me this limitation the Apple airport utility and that there is no command line way to overcome this "UI problem".
    It appears that OSX is enforcing WPA Personal's "no non-ASCII" rule, whereas Windows isn't.
    There may be a command-line fix, but I don't know what it might be.

  • Can't connect to wifi network - password problem?

    I just bought a new MacBook Pro C2D 2.16, but I can't get it to connect via airport to my wifi network at home. When I use the network setup assistant, i'm prompted to enter the WPA password, but then i get a message saying "password invalid"? If I try connecting through the Internet Connect window, it says: "there was an error joining the airport network"?
    After reading through the forums a bit, I tried changing the WPA password, changing to WEP, and even using the open setting, but my MBP still won't connect to my DSL router (Zoom X6 router). My other Windows laptop connects fine.
    This is my first Mac, and I'm a bit clueless regarding networking as well, so any advice is appreciated. BTW, I've got OSX 10.4.8 installed.
    Macbook Pro 2.16 Mhz C2D Mac OS X (10.4.8)

    I solved it! Well, not really - I just did a bit more searching on the forums and found someone else with the same problem - solution: Update the firmware's router, and now my MBP can connect properly, with WPA2.

  • Can't Connect to WiFi Network After Changing Encryption

    I have an iPod Touch that no longer connects to my wifi network at home.
    Some background: I have an aipport extreme base station with three XP laptops, an iMac and a printer connected to it wirelessly. I use a WPA Personal password. My wife's iPhone connects without a problem.
    I recently changed the password on the base station to WPA Personal because one of the laptops could not connect using WEP (solution to inconsistent hashing of 13 character password problem found elsewhere in this forum). Ever since changing the password, the iPod touch will not connect.
    I have looked for, but cannot find the "Forget Network" button on the wifi network page on the iPod touch (I understand that button appears after you have successfully connected to the network). I have reset the iPod up to and including removing all data.
    When I go into the settings>wifi menu, I see the network's SSID. When I input the password, I get a "cannot connect to . . . " message.
    Any ideas on how to solve this problem?
    Thanks

  • Can not connect to wireless networks with ipad 2

    My ipad used to connect to the wireless net at home and in public areas.
    Now all by the sudden it can't "see"  the network.
    Message: " could not connect to wireless network"
    I have tried "everything" also on different networks,
    except resetting the modem.
    My iPhone works, as do all my other computers.
    Modem is Zyxel P2812

    Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    Change the channel on your wireless router. Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

  • Can't connect to wireless network with "conflicting" essid

    Hello,
    My wireless card works perfectly (actually I am using ndiswrapper, but anyway) on Arch and I can connect to my home wireless network. I use iwconfig to connect.
    In my office we have a wireless network. It's essid is "default" and it uses WEP. I can connect to it using Windows, but not using Arch. Im running the following commands:
    iwconfig wlan0 essid "default" key XXXXXXXXXX
    dhcpcd wlan0
    and it doesn't connect ("waiting for carrier..." and nothing happens)
    I guess the problem is that there is another network with the same essid - "default". I've tried to manually associate my card with my office network AP using iwconfig wlan0 ap XX:XX:XX:XX:XX, but it didn't work either.
    What should I do?

    What kind of Wireless card do you have and what does it say when you do a lspci? So for me, I know I have a Broadcom and the way I found it was to do:
    lspci | grep BCM4312 (or whatever wireless make/model you have)
    or
    lspci | grep "Network Controller"
    The second option should also get it for you. From there, you can check out this list to see if that might help you with drivers (but then again, you might have known this already so...).
    Hope this helps.

  • Can't connect to wireless network with Dell Inspiron 1525 with Vista

    I set up a wireless network about a week ago, and have made it with the following security features: WEP, enable only certain MAC addresses to connect, and disabled broadcasting the SSID.  I have been able to use it just fine with my Mac computer using airport, but when I have tried to connect my roommates computer, a dell inspiron 1525 with vista, it can't connect.  I can locate the network but when I try to connect to the network, I get a message saying that for an Windows cannot connect to the network and that the Wireless association failed due to unknown reasons.  It then says to connect with your administrator, but that is me.  I have a minimal knowledge of computers just enough to be dangerous and am basically figuring this out as I go along.  If anyone has some advice for me, both my roommate and I will be very grateful.
    Thanks,

  • Can't connect to WiFi-nets with password

    I am not quite sure that this is the right place to post this question, but feel free to move it to where it belongs, any moderator:)
    I have encountered a problem I didn't have earlier with my iBook trying to connect to WiFi-nets - it seems impossible to connect with passwords - only the net I have at home with Airport Express works, password included.
    As soon as I find a net which doesn't require passwords, it all works.
    I experienced this for the first time in February when I visited the newspaper I am working for, which is all Macintosh. They gave me the password to be able to log in to their wireless net, but I just received a message which reads something like An error occurred when attempting to log on to xxx net. Retry? OK. (Translated from Norwegian)
    On the same trip, I could log on to public nets where you come to an opening page where you fill in username and pass, but when I visited my mother's where my brother has put up a wireless router, neither my mother's new iMac nor my iBook could connect and we received the same message and had to use Ethernet cables.
    It seems to have gotten worse, since I the other day tried to connect to a public network here where I live and with which I have had no problems earlier, but now I receive that same error message.
    I suspect that it may be caused by some minor bug in the latest update to Tiger, since another problem with Bluetooth, which went unresolved here, disappeared with that update. But instead, I have gotten this. Hopefully, my assumption is wrong and there is a solution out there:)
    iMac G5 20", iBook 1,33 GHz   Mac OS X (10.4.5)   iSight
    iMac G5 20", iBook 1,33 GHz   Mac OS X (10.4.4)   iSight
    iMac G5 20", iBook 1,33 GHz   Mac OS X (10.4.4)   iSight

    Nothing but perfect.
    As for the log in page not appearing, I read in another topic here that sometimes it might help to try Firefox or IE instead of Safari as they might have coded it that way or something to that effect, but the problem is that Airport doesn't even connect to the net as it did earlier. The only thing which happens is that message.
    In another forum, someone discovered that if the card is not firmly placed into the contacts, problems may occur, but since I have had no problems earlier and haven't touched the card and it was not installed by me, I very much doubt that it is the case here - and it works with open nets without passwords...
