E1000: Lost WPA key with Samsung TV

After entering my WPA key into my Samsung HDTV (UN46D6050TF), I am able to connect to the Internet. However, after turning the TV off then back on, the WPA key is lost at the TV. Samsung replaced the main board in the TV but the WPA key is still rejected by the Samsung TV (they also replaced the WiFi tranceiver). All my other wireless devices connect and reconnect fine and Samsung claims not to have similar reports from customers using other routers.
Have others experienced the same or similar problems? Are there settings to the router (e.g., AP Isolation; CTS Protection) that might be at the core of the problem? Would specifying the TV's MAC address be a possible resolution?

If all the other wireless computers/devices are able to connect with the same network key then I think your router is working fine.
Check the wireless settings on your router.
Connect the computer to the router with the Ethernet cable. Open the setup page of the router and go to wireless tab. Click on wireless MAC filter sub tab and make sure that it is disabled.
AP isolation keep it on disabled.
You can also try to create a new wireless network and see if that works.
Open the setup page of the router and go to Wireless tab. Change the wireless network name SSID to create a new wireless network. Change the wireless channel to 11. Save the settings.
Go to Wireless security tab and enter the password for your wireless network.
Now try to connect to the new wireless network on your other wireless computers/devices. Try to connect to the new wireless network on your TV.

WPA key with ASCII extended chars

Hi,
first of all, sorry my english.
I want to connect to a WPA wifi connection with my iPhone 4 but is impossible. My WPA key include ASCII extended chars as "¿","ñ" or "á" to give more security to my network and my iPhone says all the time "Impossible to join". I can connect with all my computers and other mobile phones.
If I remove all this characters, I can connect without problems with my iPhone.
It is a bug or a limitation from iOS? Is possible make a request to Apple to fix this?
Thanks!

you really should be only using the "printable ascii character set" of 95 (96?) characters. does extended mean the entire ascii character set of 0-255?
by any chance do you have an airport extreme? Or a Time Capsule?
if yes, you can load airport utility and use the WPA Pre-Shared key as an alternative to typing in the password with extended characters. ive done that with my kindle. it gives you the hexadecimal equivalent hash of your ssid and your password. you run airport utility, select base station and click on "Equivalent network password"
have you tried sending the password to the iphone with SMS or an email and using copy and pasting it in settings?
ive done that, but ive noticed that sometimes notes puts in an extra linefeed that doesn't work. iirc the messaging program put in a extra linefeed in the middle of my password and i had to copy it from messaging to notes to delete the linefeed and then paste it into settings
i wonder if iphone configuration utility can be used, i haven't tried that one yet
other routers might reveal the hexadecimal equivalent password

Is router pin number the same with WPA Key?

I am trying to find out what my WPA key is,
but I found router pin number instead of the wpa key.
Please somebody kindly tell me it is the same or not.
Solved!

Hi Veeton,
I agree with @VALETLINKSYS. The WPA key is the same as the passphrase or you can click on the wireless security sub-tab for a better view of the router's wireless security settings.

My 3 apple products, an imac, a macbook air and a macbook lost their contact with their external hard disks. They were LaCie make. And every time I turn my laptops, I find the positions of the keys on their keyboards changed. Why is Apple silent?

After the latest apple IOS upgrade my 3 apple products, an imac, a macbook air and a macbook, lost their contact with their external hard disks. They were LaCie make. And every time I turn my laptops, I find the positions of the keys on their keyboards changed. Why is Apple silent? There are so many people complaining about this issue and expecting Apple to correct this issue that they have created.

Probably because it's not an Apple issue. I have Lacie EHD's connected to my MBAir and iMac, all work perfectly on Mavericks. In addition I don't have any keyboard issues on any of my Apple products. BTW IOS is only for IOS devices such as iPads, iPods and iPhones, Macs use OS X. The two OS's are seperate products designed to run on seperate products.

Cisco E1000-Won't save WPA key number

I have a new wireless router which I have hooked up successfully to 3 computers , a playstation, and a WII on a secure network. My fourth computer refuses to save the new key. Ii keeps defaulting to an 8 digit number. It shows the secure network on availiable networks but won't accept the WPA key.

What is the Operating System that you are using in the 4th Computer… Try to manually add a network in the Computer… If still doesn’t work then you have to reduce down the Security Mode…

Copy and paste WiFi WPA key in Lucid

How can I copy and paste a 63 character WiFi WPA key in the LG Lucid phone? The key is totally random and the chances of typing it correctly are slim at best. The WPA standard allows up to 63 character for a key. I would like to put a file on the SD card via usb and then somehow paste the key into the correct WiFi setup field. Seems to be a pretty basic capability ...
Thanks.

I'm not familiar with Polaris Office, but perhaps it doesn't read .txt files. If it reads .doc files (MS Word documents), you could just put the key into that kind of file and put it on the SD card for Polaris to open.
The trick with copying and pasting on Android phones is, as Tidbits said, to tap and hold the text. That might bring up a menu offering the option to select a word or select all, and then if you choose Select Word a rather goofy and awkward-looking pair of pointers that you drag to move the beginning and end of the selection. Or it might bring up the pair of pointers directly, and tapping on them will give you an option to select word or all. In any case, once you've got the text selected with the pointers, it will then offer options to copy or cut the text. Frankly, with my clumsy fingers it's taken me several months to develop any skill at this at all.
Of course, in this case choosing Select All would be simplest, if all there is in the file is the WPA key.
You may only have to do this once. On my Samsung Stratosphere, once I had logged onto my home WiFi one time the procedure has been automatic ever since, and the connection occurs seamlessly and quickly.
Good luck!

Where does one find the WPA-key for their airport express?

I'm trying to have a Playstation 3 access my airport express network. It sees the network but when I get to the security settings (which is WPA-2) it asks for my WPA key. I don't know where to find that. I went into my computer's keychain utility to find it, but I am rather lost there. Any help?

I now am able to log on, thanks. I typed this in earlier and it said that it was an invalid key. Not sure what settings were doing things before. Thanks alot. However, I'm having another problem.
Since I got my airport express I have been having trouble logging onto certain sites that I use to with just the cable modem. The progress bar in Safari goes about half way and then stops. Firefox browser does the same thing on the same sites. It is only a just a couple sites like Yahoo home page for emails. When I tried to log into the Playstation Network, the same thing happened, it won't access it and then times out. My OS version is 10.6.8 if that helps.

Where is my ipad security wpa key

Hi,
I am beginner... and trying to connect my Sony Blu Ray player to the hotspot from my Ipad Mini which has 3g data plan. The player asks for
WPA Key?
Can anyone enlighten me as to the whereabouts of this 'key' so that I can satisfy the player requirements, and use it's onboard Iplayer app to
download TV programs via the Ipad's data plan.
Many thanks,
Laddie_1

Hi Daniel,
My old Samsung netbook (this one) is connected to the Ipad using the hotspot WiFi Password, I do input
the same password into the BluRay Player correctly, however the players 'status' page shows:
Connection method: Wireless
Wireless Connection: OK
Internet Access: Failed
Network (SSID): My Ipad
Signal Strength: 100%
Security: WPA/WPA2-PSK
IP addr setting: Auto
IP addr: 172.20.10.6
Subnet mask: 255.255.255.240
Default Gateway: 172.20.10.1
DNS Settings: Auto
Primary DNS: 217.171.132.1
Secondary DNS: 217.171.132.1
MAC addr: xxxxxxx
Proxy Server: Not Used.
so it sees the network and connects, just can get out onto the Internet with it.
Many thanks,
Laddie_1

HT5577 how do you sign in to apple id to make changes if you lost recovery key..

how do you sign in to apple id to make changes if you lost recovery key and removed one of my trusted devices they are both still associated but only one is trusted my macbook pro is still trusted but neither it or the 5c can get pass the log in section where it asks for the recovery key!!!!!!!!
<Edited By Host>

Going to need a lot more info on what your are trying to do and why you are doing it.
Signing into an Apple ID is easy. Open whatever needs and Apple ID and sign in using the ID name, usually a email address, and the password associated with that name. you will then be signed in.
And please refrain from the profanity.

HT6170 lost password id apple and lost recovery key

I lost password id apple and lost recovery key,how to reset my password

Do you have another trusted device for two-step verification?
See: Frequently asked questions about two-step verification for Apple ID
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5570
What if I lose my Recovery Key?
If you lose your Recovery Key, you can replace it any time:
Go to My Apple ID.
Select Manage your Apple ID and sign in with your password and trusted device.
Select Password and Security.
Under Recovery Key, select Replace Lost Key.
When you create a new key, your old Recovery Key is no longer usable.
and
What if I forget my Apple ID password?
You can reset it at My Apple ID using your Recovery Key and one of your trusted devices.
Apple Support can't reset your password for you. To reset your password, you must have your Recovery Key and access to at least one of your trusted devices.
if you have neither your AppleID password, nor your Recovery Key, nor a trusted device, not even Apple can help you to get access to your account.

HT5577 I lost recovery key and trusted device, how do I rescue my funds on account?

Lost recovery key and trusted dev, and need to transfer balance on account how do I do this?

You will need one of your trusted devices to be able to change your password : Apple ID: Can't sign in with two-step verification - Apple Support
Nobody else should be able to download from a new device or computer unless they have access to two of your password, a trusted device, and your recovery key. You are sure that they are using it e.g. there are a number of phishing emails doing the rounds saying that something has been downloaded on an account and to click on a link in the email if it wasn't you that made it so as to request a refund (i.e. so that they can capture your password and payment details).
If they are 'proper' purchases then you can try contacting iTunes Support : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page

"Disk Utility has lost its connection with the Disk Management Tool and cannot continue. Please quit and relaunch Disk Utility." Trying to format my iomega external HD for use with Mac

Hi. Trying to connect iomega ext. HD. i have to reformat for Mac. When i plug in & go to Disk Utility,the external shows up and i'm supposed to click "partition". When i do, a box comes up saying ""Disk Utility has lost its connection with the Disk Management Tool and cannot continue. Please quit and relaunch Disk Utility." I quit and relaunched, same results. After googling my question, i came up with this:
"Disk Utility has lost its connection with the Disk Management Tool and cannot continue. Please quit and relaunch Disk Utility."
(Quitting and reopening Disk Utility does not help.)
The following also appears in Console log:
*** malloc[419]: Deallocation of a pointer not malloced: 0x290a410; This could be a double free(), or free() called with the middle of an allocated block; Try setting environment variable MallocHelp to see tools to help debug : for architecture i386 object: ./Applications/iTunes.app/Contents/MacOS/iTunes malformed object (unknown flavor for flavor number 0 in LC_UNIXTHREAD command 27 can't byte swap it)
Workaround
Quit Disk Utility.
From the Finder's Go menu, choose Go to Folder....
Type the following, then click OK: /Library/Receipts
Temporarily remove these iTunes receipts from /Library/Receipts (sort the folder alphabetically as a list):
iTunes.pkg
iTunes4.pkg
You can put them on the desktop, for example. Do not remove iTunesX.pkg or iTunes Phone Driver.pkg.
Open Disk Utility and repair disk permissions again.
Quit Disk Utility.
Put the removed iTunes receipts back in /Library/Receipts.
Note: This issue does not affect Disk Utility's verify or repair disk features.
All seemed good, for a moment, until, upon going back to Disk Utility after removing itunes4.pkg and putting on desktop (i did not have itunes.pkg to remove) the same thing was happening. When i highlite my iomega ext. on left of page, disk perrmissions is grayed and does not allow me to click on it. Same problem from the start. Can somebody please help me out here? That would soooo awesome. Thanx!

i'm just scared i will do something wrong on my own and lose my data.
You shouldn't be scared of that, because you should already have backups. If you don't have backups, then backing up is the first priority.
Insert the Snow Leopard DVD and restart. When you hear the chime, hold down the C key and keep holding it until the Apple logo appears on the display. You should now see the language selection screen. Select your language, then choose Utilities > Disk Utility from the menu bar. In the Disk Utility window, select the external drive (not the internal). The drive may already have a data partition, in which case there will be another icon below the drive icon. Choose the drive icon, then select the Partition tab. Create a single partition with the default options (GUID partition table, Mac OS X Extended Journaled).
When the partitioning is done, select the startup volume on your internal drive in the DU window. Select the Restore tab. Drag the icon of the startup volume to the "Source" field. Then drag the icon of the newly-created volume on the external drive to the "Destination" field. Make sure you have this right. Then click the Restore button, and the data on your startup volume will be copied to the external drive.

How do I find the WPA key on my Bravia TV?

Hello ekrahmer, thank you for replying. In regards to your question I assume that you would like to know how to get the WPA key for connectivity. This type of concerns seems to be something that you may ask to your Internet Service Provider. However to setup the TV to connect a Wifi-Direct capable device, we kindly recommend you to try the steps below:
1. Make sure that the TV has the latest system software (firmware) update installed.
2. Using the supplied remote, press the HOME button.
3. Select Applications.
4. Select Wi-Fi Direct.
5. Press the Options button.
6. Select Manual.
7. Select either WPS or Other Methods
NOTE: The WPS setting is not available on all Wi-Fi Direct capable devices. Refer to the manual supplied with the cell phone, computer or other Wi-Fi Direct device for information regarding the WPS setting.
8. If WPS is selected, on your Wi-Fi Direct device, go to the wireless network setting screen, select WPS (if capable, for automatic setup) or perform a scan to connect to the Sony television.
If Other Methods is selected, the SSID and the WPA Key that appears on the TV will have to be entered on the Wi-Fi Direct device.
NOTE: In some cases the TV may appear as BRAVIA or BRAVIA TV on the Wi-Fi Direct device.
If this post helps you to resolve your concerns, please let us know by accepting this post as a solution.

Hello ekrahmer, thank you for your post. For further assistance, please let us know with the model number of your Sony TV.

Need to enter WPA key every time i re-connect?

I have a small network of one wired PC, one wireless PC and a wireless laptop. I messed something up while trying to add our new itouch to the network and now, the laptop is asking for the WPA key every time it re-connects. As of right now, the wired PC is also the only one getting on the internet. We are using the WRT54G v.4, running windows XP on all three computers and i'm about to throw them all out the window. Please help. By the way, the laptop has a different IP address then the other computers...is this a problem too? Thanks in advance.

All the computers on your network should have different IP addresses, but they should all be on the same subnet 192.168.1.x . If your computer fails to connect, it may show a 169.254.xxx.xxx address. This address simply means you failed to connect. It comes from Windows, not the router.
First, in the router, give your network a unique SSID. Do not use "linksys". If you are using "linksys" you may be trying to connect to your neighbor's router. Also set "SSID Broadcast" to "enabled". This will help your computer find and lock on to your router's signal.
Also, in the non-working computers, temporarily turn off the software firewall, including Windows Firewall, and see if that helps you make a connection.
To fix the recurrent WPA key entry problem:
In the computer, go to your wireless software, and go to "Preferred Networks" (sometimes called "Profiles" ). There are probably a few networks listed. Delete any network named "linksys". Also delete any network that you do not recognize, or that you no longer use. Delete your current network (this will clear any old settings). Reboot computer. Return to "Preferred Networks" and re-enter your current network info (SSID, encryption (if any), and key (if any) ). Then select your current network and make it your default network, and set it to automatic login. You may need to go to "settings" to do this, or you may need to right click on your network and select "Properties" or "settings". Reboot computer. Your computer should connect automatically to your router. If you still have trouble, make sure your computer's software firewall is off.
If the above does not fix your problem, download and install the latest driver for your wireless card.
Also, please note that WPA = "WPA with TKIP", and WPA2 = "WPA with AES".
If you are using WPA2, then note that Windows XP requires a patch to run WPA2. Go to Microsoft Knowledge base, article ID=917021 and it will direct you to the patch.
Sadly, the patch is not part of the automatic Windows XP updates, so lots of people are missing the patch.
If you need more help, please state the computer software firewall that you are using.
