Entering WPA key into iphone 3G

Hi, I use 2 wi-fi networks one at work and one at home... I've set up both networks but am unable to connect at home. It asks for the WPA key which is 63 bits long.
I have tried numerous times to enter this correctly, but nothing seems to work. I've been very careful (due to length of key) to make sure that it's entered correctly but nothing works. Has anyone else come across this problem?

No, it doesn't have a shorter one... Normally it's done through the PC, that way it's just cut and pasted. This way is a nightmare!!

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.

Entering security key on iphone

i installed the new os trying to connect to the cloud and having trouble entering my security key...any shortcuts? It is awkward keying in the long key on the iphone

Do you mean the key to unlock the phone? Just enter it, then go to Settings/General/Passcode Lock, enter it again and change the setting. This has nothing to do with iCloud. If you have a corporate Exchange account your IT administrator may require a long key. If so there is nothing you can do about it.

Setup Airport Extreme for the home wireless - MacBook Air, Pro, and iPad connect just fine. Wireless will not work to Windows 7 and Vista machines - network seen, tries to connect, but fails after entering WPA key.

Can't get Windows Vista or Windows 7 laptops to access internet via Airport Extreme. Works fine with security on MacBook Air, MacBook Pro, and iPad. Brand new Airport, bought today. Windows machines worked fine with existing, relatively modern Cisco home router. The Windows machines see the wireless network, prompt for password, and then cannot connect. Have tried all sorts of things with Windows machines, deleted existing networks, etc. even tried guest login with no security on the Airport - no luck. Windows XP machine directly (wire) connected works fine. Magic Jack works OK. Light is green on the front.

Thank you very much for your help @Sunshyn2005!!!!! I think we're good to go now!

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.

How to enter a Private key into a keystore

Hi,
We have a propriteary CA, developed by us. I need to use this CA for my Signed Applet. I would enter this CA's public key(a X509 certificate) into my cacerts file.
Following is what I have done :
1) I have generated my own keystore, public and private key for signing the applet.
2) Signed the applet with the private key in the keystore.
To Do :
Now, the self generated public key(with which applet was signed) has to be signed by the properitary CA, so that when applet is downloaded my certificate is authenticated by the proprietary CA.
The problem is :
1) To get my public key certificate authenticated by the proprietary CA, I need the private key of proprietary CA.(so that I shall sign my public key file by the CA's private key) . The CA could give the private key as a byte array file. ( Or we could write a program to format the private key file, if any format exists and required). jarsigner requires keystore to sign. How could I create a keystore and enter my private key and public key into this keystore?
2) Is there any other way to do this?
Please help to resolve this problem.

IPhone 4 lost all events entered into iPhone during sync

I have a new iPhone 4. I just setup my iPhone to sync with my calendar in Outlook. I had entered 5 events into the iPhone and none of them were in my Outlook calendar after sync and they had been wiped out on my iPhone. The events I entered into my Outlook DID show up on my iPhone. Strange. Am I missing something? This is NOT an Exchange account.

Hi,
A few days ago my iP4 locked up. I did a hard reboot ("home" and "power" buttons). When the phone came back, all of my contacts had gone; however, it them re-synched over WiFi so I have all the details back on my phone... BUT... all of the contact photos have been messed around, so now I have the wrong faces on all of my iP4 contacts (but they are correct on my win7 laptop which I sync from).
Anybody else seen this?
If so, any resolutions to re-sync?

How do i prevent the user from entering a RETURN/ENTER key into their username?

Hello,
i am currently trying to make a login system where the
username will obviously enter their username.
I have made my user input box editable and set up variables
to accept the user input and store them into variables, along with
error prevention for blank fields.
However i cannot prevent the user from hitting the
"enter"/"return" key. When i hit "enter" the user input box box
gets larger as the type curser moves onto the next line and when
the username is stored in a variable it is stored as "theuser
RETURN" so when variable is passed to the next frame and is
recalled by another text box to display the username, the user name
has a carriage return.
I want to prevent this, anyone got any suggestions? or know
of any websites i can visit which will explain this to me nicely??
Thank you

suggestion:
don't make the edit field editable right from the start.
rather attach a behaviour to the field/text-sprite like:
property mySprite, myMember
on beginsprite me
Sprite = me.spritenum
-- this is the channel-number of the editbox
myMember = mySprite.member.number
-- this is the field/text-member
member(myMember).editable = FALSE
end beginsprite
on mouseup me
-- when i get clicked for editing, then set me editable
member(mymember).editable = TRUE
the keydownscript = "MyKeyhandler"
-- this sets the keyhandler to YOUR keyhandler, see below
end mouseup
You would then need to have YOUR keyhandler in any mociesript
and there you
would block any unwished key, while editing
on MyKeyhandler
case the key of
RETURN:
stopevent;
otherwise
pass;
end case
end MyKeyhandler
in the end you would attach a behaviour to any
"Submit"-button (this is the
one that "gets" the userinput" and performs further action
according to your
wishes and decisions)
on mouseup
the keydownscript = EMPTY
-- this resets to normal
user-ID = member("Whatever the number or name of your
editfield
is").text
member("Whatever the number or name of your editfield
is").editable
= FALSE
-- any further actions to make in your project
-- to get along with the entered User-ID
end mouseup
something like this, I guess

Nokia E71 - How do you enter a HEX WPA Key?

Hi All,
I have WiFi at home and I typed my ASCII Network Key in when connecting to the network and it worked perfectly.
At work I have WiFi and a 64 digit hexadecimal 256 bit Network key and I can't seem to be able to enter it when asked for the network key...After playing around with the different options i was able to enter a maximum of only 63 characters.
I don't have the ASCII passphrase, so i need to make the hex key work.
How do I enter a Hex Key, has anyone done this... help please.
hex key:

Fortunately I was able to resolve my problem and I learned something about WPA keys in the process. In my case, I originally retrieved the key from my laptop using a utility. It displayed the 256 bit key as a 64 hex characters. It turns out there was a typable ASCII key that worked. The reason the hex key couldn't be translated to typable ASCII characters is that it is actually a 256 bit hash calculated from the 63 byte ASCII key combined with the SSID. The E71x apparently supports entering the key either as the 63 byte ASCII key or as its 256 bit hex hash. If I understand correctly, the latest implementation of WPA specifies an ASCII key converted to a 256 bit hash but earlier versions allowed entering a 256 bit key directly as hex. I guess the latest implementation makes sense since hashing the key makes it less vulnerable to a dictionary attack, but it would be nice if the E71 supported entering the the key as hex.

I have the key; but it's not recognized. I can't enter the whole key into the 3 boxes provided

''locking as a duplicate - https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/874827''
The key I was provided is about 30 characters long, with 5 dashes.
When I try to set up the sync, I am provided with 3 textboxes. When I enter the key, the characters' size is so large, I can only fit 3 characters per box. Therefore I can not enter whole key.
I don't see option to change the size. So, what do I do?
I have tried entering a number of different sequences of characters, starting with the first letter and then starting with the second, etc.
Nothing seems to work. I keep getting an error.

If you have a sync key instead of the passphrase then you need to click the link that I don't have the device with me and fill the name (email) and password and sync key fields.

HP 7410 officejet-network wizard does allow me to enter WPA password

I upgraded my old Verizon router to a newer model (actiontec) and it works perfectly with all my wireless devices in the house, except for my printer! The wireless feature on my HP office jet 7410 All in One Printer worked great on my old router. However when I went to re-connect my printer with the new router I was not able to get to the WPA screen to allow me to add my WPA password (from my router.) I saw two other challenges on this forum about not being able to get to the WPA screen on the setup in the wizard. One guy got in and the other didn't (I believe he changed a setting in his router.) Well I'm one of those who didn't and I followed the instructions exactly from the manual. On the set-up button I went to "Network" and clicked on "Wireless setup wizard." I found my SSID and hit ok. I selected my network name and it automatically comes up with "Enter WEP Key". It doesn't offer any choices to go to "Infrastructure" which would allow me to choose WPA. This other guy on the forum had the same problem and someone tried to give him a solution but it didn't work. I reset my factory default, I unplugged the printer for 5 minutes, I even tried to restore my network defaults but nothing worked. It still defaults me to the WEP screen. I did notice when I printed my network configurations that my URL address, IP address, Subnet mask and default gateway were all 0's. I even uninstalled my printer software and re-installed it connecting with a USB to see if it would reset my settings but it didn't. I am at a loss and very frustrated. Please help!

Hello there! Welcome to the forums @hotelexec,
I read through your post about how you're trying to connect to your new router with your Officejet 7410. I could be wrong, but I don't see where you had tried entering your WPA passphrase into the WEP screen that populates. It may not work, however I would suggest giving it a shot to see if it will take your password and connect to the network. I have seen it work before and I'm curious to hear if this will also work for you too!
Let me know what happens!
Have a great Wednesday

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

Where do I find my WPA key for my wireless router??? (WRT150N)

Ok so I'm trying to setup Xbox live for my Xbox 360. I have the WRT150N wireless router and just got the wireless adapter that plugs into the 360. It said the adapter couldnt pick up the signal then i realized i needed to enter the WPA key from my wireless router. Im only 15 and my dad is on business and im not really tech- savvy. I checked the information on the router and it only gives me the serial number and MAC address. Anyone how I can find out what the WPA key is for the router??

Type 192.168.1.1 on your browsers address bar. Login. And you'll find your security password under Wireless->Wireless Security.
