Can't Connect To WPA-PSK/AES

I've read through dozens of posts here and on other sites, but still can't figure this out.
At home, I have a D-Link DI-634M wireless router. We have two laptops (Toshiba and IBM) that connect to it just fine, but I can't get my new iPhone 3G to connect. The Wireless Settings page on the router looks like this:
SSID: SomethingLikeThis
Channel: Auto Channel Select enabled
Super G Mode: Disabled
Transmission Rate: Auto
802.11g Only Mode: Disabled
SSID Broadcast: Disabled
Security Mode: WPA-PSK
WPA Mode: WPA
Cipher Type: AES
Passphrase: Looks something like this sentence, for a total of 63 characters.
When I try to add the network to my iPhone, I get the error that it can't connect. But, in the network settings, it will now show the SSID, with the encryption icon and the signal strength meter. I select it, get prompted for the password again, but still can't connect.
Just checked the logs on the router, and I can see an INFO message that says "Wireless system with MAC address nnnnnnnnnnnnn associated", showing the MAC address of my iPhone. I don't see anything after that to indicate any error with that device.
I upgraded the firmware in the router to the latest release (Feb/2008). I've tried changing the Cipher Type from AES to TKIP, and even "TKIP and AES".
What am I missing here?
Thanks!

Sorry, forgot to mention that when I turn off encryption it works fine. But, even though I don't broadcast my SSID, I'd never run a wireless router without at least some basic encryption. Just tried changing the password to not have spaces, and now it works fine. That's strange, since I didn't have any problems with any other wireless devices connecting when the password did have spaces.
Thanks a million!!!!

  • MacBook Pro Can't connect to WPA protected network

    Just got my new MBP this week. I am in love with it but I have this problem, I can't connect to WPA network, every time I try to connect and type the WPA password it take time and then comes back with "There was an error joining the AirPort network "Intersys"
    I removed the WPA from the router and try to connect and it work fine. Change to WPA and no connections.
    any suggestions? Thanks in advance

    I was actually logging into the forums for this exact reason.
    I bought a new router ( Linksys http://tinyurl.com/fkrt9 )last night and wanted to set up WPA/WPA2 encryption on it.
    My choices after that we AES and TKIP. I know more about AES so I selected that and set up my key.
    Well after that I got the same error that you got. SO I went back and selected TKIP instead and I've been able to conenct, I'm also using 64 character key.
    I would still like to use AES, but for now I'm happy with TKIP.

  • IPhone can't join network (WPA-PSK)

    I have a D-Link DI-524 router and it had always been set to WEP until I bought my Macbook Pro recently. Everything worked fine with WEP - my iphone, playstation 3, old laptop. But my macbook couldn't work with WEP, so I changed my router security setting to "WPA-PSK/WPA-PSK2"(shown as an option on the router setup page). Now my macbook and playstation 3 both work with the new setting, but not the iphone....it can detect the network but when I type in the correct password it says can't join the network. I've tried resetting the iphone network, rebooting it, still not working.
    I never got to the bottom of why my macbook can't work with WEP, but as long as it works with WPA that's fine so that I can at least use the web. I'm alright with having to use 3G on my iphone too, but it'll be very inconvenient if I have to download certain apps that require a wifi connection.

    Try the steps in the article below:
    iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
    Another easy way to isolate the cause of the issue is by trying to connect those devices to another wifi network.

  • Smart Phone O2, Dopod, iPaq can't authen with WPA-PSK(TKIP)

    I used Cisco AP 1100 and WPA-PSK (TKIP) My notebook can authenticated but smart phone can't it. I see log at AP "authentication failed" What happen?

    Hello,
    I have similar problem. We have wireless handhelds same firmware version however different types of wireless cards. The old type has Cisco AIronet 350 and the new ones have Wistron 802.11G. The new ones can authenticate successfully using WPA + TKIP. The old ones don't authenticate and I get authentication failure on the access point log.
    I appreciate if anybody can give me some ideas.
    Remark: I connected my laptop and directly connects as well. It is only the old type of handhelds having the Cisco Aironet 350.
    All handhelds have windows CE 5.0 and latest drivers and firmware installed.
    Thanks,

    Dear All,
    I need your help.
    My customer have Cisco WLC 5508 (cisco wlc 7.0.116.0) .
    We create ssid with layer 2 security wpa+wpa2.
    Using Windows 8, it's can't connect to the wireless lan.
    But if I change, the ssid, with layer 2 security wep.
    It can connect / connected.
    Please help.
    Thanks,
    Jerri

    This is a known issue with Windows 8.  You need to upgrade your firmware to 7.0.250.X for wireless clients running Win8. 
    Another thing, choose one:  Either WPA or WPA2.  Don't enable one and "hope" the wireless client will make the choice because most of the time, they won't.

  • Slower connection with WPA-PSK

    Hi, I'm new to Apple and the whole Apple discussion board.
    I recently converted to Mac and have one of the new 20" Intel iMacs. I looked through the available discussions but none of them quite addressed my issue:
    I recently received a new 2Wire router from ATT-Yahoo DSL. I have it connected by ethernet cable directly to my old PC, and my Mac connects wirelessly via Airport.
    For security reasons, I tried to switch my encryption from WEP (which was the default) to WPA (WPA-PSK is what actually showed up as the option on the 2wire site), and when I did, the wireless connection was dramatically slower. So slow that I couldn't stream music from sites like rhapsody. When I switched back to the WEP default code, the problem seemed to correct itself.
    1) Is there something I needed to adjust as well, either on the Mac or on the 2wire site, when I changed the encryption to WPA, to avoid the slow-down?
    2) How great is the security advantage of WPA over WEP? I've configured the settings so that my wireless network doesn't appear automatically on other people's computers.
    I'm new to the wireless game as well. Thanks for anybody's help to the above.

    Hi
    The same happened on my old notebook.
    I was not able to establish the WLan connection for longer than 1min with WPA encryption.
    I have downloaded the newest Atheros driver and updated everything.
    Everything works fine with WEP but not WPA.
    Then I have disabled the Windows own configuration option and use the Atheros client utility. Now everything works fine!
    I would recommend using the Intel Proset utility and check all possible settings!

  • Can't connect to WPA network (10.4, PB) but MacBook (10.5) can

    I posted this question in another forum:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1568629&tstart=0
    But maybe other PowerBook (Airport Extreme) users lurking in this forum have had problems connecting to WPA protected networks? The router is D-Link DI-524.

    I've had difficulty attaching to WPA networks with AES encryption where WPA with TKIP encryption worked just fine. The type of encryption is defined on the router.

  • PowerBook G4 can't connect to WPA Personal network?

    Hi all,
    I recently set up a wireless network in my apartment building. The router isn't AirPort (I know, but as soon as I have the money!). However, four of us (myself included) can get on the wireless network with no problem...that's two MacBooks on 10.4, and two PC laptops.
    The fifth computer is the problem. Somewhere I read that 10.2 doesn't support WPA Personal networks, so I upgraded his computer to 10.4. Still, no dice on connecting to our wireless net.
    Here are his AirPort specs:
    Wireless Card Type: AirPort
    Wireless Card Locale: USA
    Wireless Card Firmware Version: 9.52
    Is this the wrong firmware version? Where would I find the right one (browsing through the downloads, I could only find firmware updates for the base stations)? I've run all the OS updates and the one Airport update that appeared in the regular Software Updates screen.
    Help! Any ideas? Should I give up on WPA Personal?

    Oh geez, I can't even post to the right forum. Apologies!

  • IOS 5 can't connect to WPA/WPA2 Enterprise Wireless Network

    After upgrading multiple iPhone 4 (CDMA versions) to IOS 5.0, I have not been able to get them to connect to our WPA/WPA2 Enterprise wirless network.  We use a Cisco Wireless LAN Controller.  The wireless network is capable of doing WPA or WPA2 Enterprise with PEAP.  These phones all connected to this network fine before the upgrade.
    When connecteding to the network, it prompts me for the username and password and when I tap join it sits for about 10-15 seconds then says "Unable to join the network" with a Dismiss button.
    It connects to non-Enterprise networks just fine.  I have tested it on WPA Personal and WPA2 Personal networks and it has worked on several without issue.
    I have tried "forget this network" with no success.
    Is anyone else having this problem?  I know of at least three Verizon iPhone 4's that have this exact same problem.  I haven't seen one working with this configuration yet.

    I have the same problem:
    Cisco WLC's -> WPA2 Enterprise AES + EAP-PEAP 802.1x with CCKM
    Pre 5.0 - all worked fine
    Post 5.0 - it tries to connect and after few moments i get error - couldn't connect.

  • MacOSX 10.3.8 system with original Airport card can't connect via WPA/WPA2

    Hi all,
    My WiFi network consists of an Airport Express running a WPA/WPA2 Personal network and 802.11b/g compatibility, upon which 3 Macs (all with Airport Extreme/G or /Draft-N cards) and 2 PCs (both G compatible) merrily connect to.
    I have an old PowerMac G4 which I've just fitted with an original non-Extreme Airport card, and having updated MacOSX 10.3.8 with Airport 4.2 to enable WPA access, it still refuses to connect to the network; I get the "There was an error joining the Airport network ..." when the correct password is entered.
    My understanding is that while the old Airport cards don't support WPA2, they do support WPA and thus if the Airport Express network is set to WPA/WPA2 and b/g compatibility (which I'm assuming is some kind of all encompassing compatibility mode, given there's also sole WPA2 options) then it shouldn't have any problems connecting to the network. What am I missing here?
    Cheers, Ben.

    I am having the exact same problem. Powerbook G4; original factory installed airport card; with Panther 10.3.9 OS plus updated 4.2 Airport Admin. Utility. It will NOT connect to my Airport Express set to the WPA/WPA2, which is working fine with my iPod touch.
    When I get to the screen requesting password for my chosen airport network ("Wireless Security: WPA Personal), the "OK" button is grayed out and it will not even let me submit a password to connect. Can somebody help?

  • Can't connect to WPA wireless network

    Switched from WEP to WPA and now my PowerBook G4 refuses to connect. I'm prompted to type in my WPA Personal password and the little beach ball spins and then tells me:

    PowerBook G4   Mac OS X (10.4.10)   Airport Card Firmware 9.52

    Hello,
    I too have had some steps to tread in order to get WPA2, from WEP.
    My firmware version is: 405.1, yours reads: 9.52. A bit old for the new WPA.
    You do not say if you have the airport express or the airport extreme? In the latter case Apple has updates on their website for it to get the WPA and WPA2. The airport express is more limited, but it works as part of my network with the airport extreme. (The express handles only the printer)
    If you have password forgetfullness, you can reset the unit to original spec with the little button on it... you do have to know the original ID, which will be in the original box. I think all of Apple units are the same, so once you have that you can "rebuild" it again with the network assistant, with WPA2 and a Name and password you can remember. Also, make your changes thru the assistant or you may miss an item in the process and hang it up... which is what it sounds like happened. Then all other changes "Should" require your wifi password to bring up the network screen in order to make.
    PS: I have got OSX to do things with part info, but I had to have it try 2 or 3 times before it figured out what I wanted it to do (a smart little program all in all). But it works much nicer with all the data it needs, and for a longer time without problems.

  • Can't connect to WPA protected wifi. Prompt says choose a certificate OR enter account name and password? Huh

    I cannot connect to wifi using my MacBook, my phone and Xbox work but there is no prompt for the WPA password and when I go to the diagnostics page it prompts me to choose a certificate or enter an account name and password? What account name are they referring to? I have entered everything I could think of; the actual connection name and password, the Internet provider login email, my MacBook account name as password... What the heck. After I try, it says connecting for awhile, then fails...

    Select the network from the Airport icon drop down in the menu. Then put in the password.

  • Airport Extreme can't connect to MacBook Pro running Windows XP

    I have a new Airport Extreme Base Station and an intel MacBook pro that is 6 months old and dual boot. The AEBS is set up with WPA2 and AEs. All works well for both MacOS (Leopard) and WindowsXP in wired mode and wireless works fine for the Mac side. When i run Windows, i can see the wireless network but i can't seem to configure it to actually connect to the network. I set it to WPA-PSK/AES, but it never can connect, and when i go back to check the settings in zeroconfig (the Windows connection manager) the connection is always reset to "WEP". Any suggestions? BTWQ, we can't connect my son's laptop (Windows XP ) either.

    Try changing the encryption, also make sure the computer is fully updated. Windows Xp computers do not all have native WPA2 capability. Try disabling security and see if that works. If it does not, it may be an interfernce problem on one computer. Try changing the wireless channel to 3 or 9

  • Which hp printers uses wpa2-psk(aes)

    Need to update my HP printer. New router wants to use the newer wpa-psk(aes), want to buy HP that has same. Do not see this info on any of the descriptions of the newer printers. Help.
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    Hello, and Welcome to the HP Support Community!
    wpa-psk (either AES or TKIP) is pretty standard these days.  Looking at my year-old OfficeJet 8600 Pro, it easily supports this method and is the way I have it connected to my home network.
    We just installed a newer 8610 at the office, and it had no problems with the wpa/wpa2 encryption scheme either!
    I believe you will be safe with any present-day HP printer that offers wireless connectivity.

  • My laptops that don't have a linksys card, but built in wireless can stay connected to WEP

    Re: My laptops that don't have a linksys card, but built in wireless can stay connected to WEP
    OK since your security is set to WPA why do you want to go to WEP? DS? If everything is configured correctly you should not have to change anything. If you are connecting another device and forgot what your WPA setting were just go into the router and take a look see.
    1. I set up everything, its all fine and ok
    2. The DS can't connect to WPA, only WEP or Open
    3. I know what my WPA settings are and the codes to both settings
