WLAN with WPA-PSK on E61

Hi,
when I try to connect my E61 to my wireless home network, I get prompted for the WPA key and it works fine. But the key doesn't seem to be saved bc the next time around I am again prompted to enter it. It's a 64 digit key. Is there maybe a certain limit to the number of characters up to which a key can be saved?

Hi,
slight correction: It doesn't work at all! I enter the key, but when I leave that particular submenu with "Back" and go in again, the field where the PSK should be is blank again and when I click "Web", the phone automatically tries to connect, but tells me "invalid key" after a while.

N91 Podcast client over WLAN with WPA-PSK - downlo...

Hi all,
I'm using a N91 (2.20.008) and the Nokia Podcast Client (1.00.3) to download podcasts via my home network (router Zyxel P-2602HW-D1A). N91 can fine see my network but the connection is unreliable on the N91. I have several laptops and it works fine for them.
What happens is that the podcast client will start to update all podcasts, but nothing happens all the small "circles" just hang. If I try to download one podcast it will sometimes work, but mostly the Podcast client will only download 2% and then hang. Each time I have to drop the WLAN connection and reestablish it to get the next 2%.
So for me it seems that the client waits and waits for something that doesn't happen or some weird loop is taking place.
Is there any fix for this?

Ivan,
Ok, that makes sense. So yes, as far as I know, the logs are not super helpful when it comes to MAC filtering pass/fail, but you will find generic messages related to MAC filter events. Filtering for MAC is a layer 2 association-level event, so if a client does not pass, you will see an SNMP log message like:
Sun Mar 18 20:23:52 2012 Client Association Failure: MACAddress: Base Radio MAC: Slot: 0 User Name:unknown IP Addr: unknown Reason:Unspecified ReasonCode: 1
If they pass, then you will see:
Sun Mar 18 20:29:05 2012 Client Association: Client MAC: Base Radio MAC : Slot: 0 User Name:unknown IP Addr: unknown
If you are not seeing these messages, make sure you have SNMP trap controls turned on for Client association and association failure events:
I have done some more testing today and I am not running into the issues that you are seeing. In my setup, named clients can associate and unlisted clients are failing to associate. At this point I would recommend that you try upgrading your code to 7.0.220.0 or higher. My testing was done on 7.0.220.0.

Satellite A100-003 WLAN connection timeout(with WPA-PSK)

I have a Satellite A100-003 notebook with preinstalled Windows Vista.
When I try connect to my router with WPA-PSK (TKIP) I have error:
Wireless authentication failed because of a timeout.
My notebook and router configurated correctly!! I installed new intel drivers for 3945ABG chip.
WPA2-PSK and WEP work fine.

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!

I have a 3rd generation iPod Touch and just did the update to IOS 5. Now I can't connect to my Netgear wifi router. My iPhone connects fine along with all of my other laptops etc. I have the router set with WPA-PSK [TKIP] security and an access list.

I have a 3rd generation iPod Touch and just did the update to IOS 5. Now I can't connect to my Netgear wifi router. My iPhone connects fine along with all of my other laptops etc. I have the router set with WPA-PSK [TKIP] security and an access list. I've confirmed the mac address is included on that list and that the password is correct. Under choses netwrok I select the network and it just goes into a spin. I have tried removing the password and the access list settings and it still will not complete the connection to the router thus no internet access. The routers firmware is also up to date. This thing worked fine before this update and I've already tried to restore from backup. Any ideas or is the wifi nic bad in this thing with the new apple firmware update? Any fix?

Thanks Bob, I don't know why but it all of a sudden worked a few days later. It's a mystery but at least problem solved.

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.

3850. mac filter at wlan with wpa key

Hello
I want to get simple mac filter at certain WLAN with psk authentication
I have such at my home cisco881 - MAC-based ACL apply to the radio interface.
I don't find how to make MAC-based ACL at 3850.
And I don't understand how to use class-map type control subscriber (and match mac-address), for example, for such task, because they apply to interface, but now wlan.
Can somebody send me full working config or certain url with decision for such task?

Satellite L40-14N: Does WLan support WPA PSK encryption security

Could someone please help?
Does the satellite L40-14N Wireless LAN Card support WPA PSK encryption security?
Thank you.

What WLan card was installed in your notebook?
You can check this in the device manager.
Then simply Google for this WLan card or visit the WLan card manufacture info site!
Simply ;)

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,

Leopard problem connecting with wifi AP using WPA PSK instead of WEP

I cannot connect via Airport to Speedtouch 580i accesspoint using WPA PSK.
WEP works just fine, but using WPA PSK I keep getting the message invalid password and then cannot connect wirelessly.
Tiger as of version 10.4.3 through .11 worked flawlessly via WPA PSK with the same AP.
I installed 10.5.4 Leopard from scratch and used combo 10.5.5 and and a few days ago combo update 10.5.6 but problem remain.
After the clean install I used migration assistent to get user data and logins from Tiger into Leopard, having used an image made with SuperDuper.
I have read many support forums and suggestions, it all didn't result in a working internet connection at all with WPA PSK :-...(
What I did until now:
- Disabled IPv6 for the airport interface
- Changed to a simple WPA PSK password without CAPITALS instead of something like #A!$($D$%\T@q{|
- Changed to a fixed channel in the wireless accesspoint instead of auto. http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1195706
- Rebooted Accesspoint various times.
- Changed to 802.11g only instead of b+g
- Tried both TKIP and AES as encryption type
- Disabled and re-enabled Firewall in Leopard
- Changed to fixed ip adress instead of via DHCP for network addres assignment
- Tried connecting with and without broadcast of SSID to AP.
- Repaired keychain , http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=5858982
- Did various keychain changes incl deleting old values
- Deleted some items from library, as per suggestions from forums.
In the end I have a suspicion that it all drills down to something simple, quotes (" ") are used to present the password in the password field, at least this is the case with WEP, but this does not harm the functionality for WEP as this is working alright.
With the current WPA PSK implementation it perhaps does influence, because it keeps saying invalid password. I have tested both with and without quotes and things did not improve at all.
I'm running out of ideas to solve this matter, therefore I have sent a report to Apple via their Feedback webpage.
While having using 10.5.5 fo a while I had big hopes 10.5.6 would cure the problem , unfortunately this is not the case.
Please provide more suggestions to solve this problem.

Checked Accesspoint firmware upgrade. The only difference between the current 4.2.7.25 and the latest version, 4.2.7.30 is the support of WDS i.e. expanding the wireless network by connecting 2 APs together (via WEP).
Still tried upgrading via the MAC OS X update software, it did not fire up, I think the software is not fond of Leopards
As WEP works ok with Leopard on my G4 Powerbook 12inch, I didn't want to focus further on the speedtouch because of the motto 'if it ain't broke don't fix it.'
Am going to research more on Keychain and DHCP, others are reporting issues with it along with this 'airport crisis' http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=375838

WPA-PSK configuration [RESOLVED]

I'm doing something really stupid but as I don't know much about linux - let along wireless linux - I just know I'm doing something INSANELY stupid.
I finally got my wireless working thanks to chrismortimore and tardo But it's working with its front door wide open. I want to secure it with WPA-PSK.
I've got a Netgear DG834GT ADSL Modem Router. I'm manually configuring it and it gives me the following four security options:
1. Disable
2. WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy)
3. WPA-PSK (Wi-Fi Protected Access Pre-Shared Key)
4. WPA-802.1x
I've been using it on 1. for a couple of days now without any problems. However, I switched it to 3. (WPA-PSK) and it asked me for a 8-63 digit Network Key. I set it with 4rchL1nuxR0ck5.
I then altered my /etc/conf.d/wireless from:
wlan_eth2="eth2 essid ShagNet"
which I know works to:
wlan_eth2="eth2 essid ShagNet key s:4chL1nuxR0ck5"
I rebooted but it didn't work. I couldn't get any web pages to load in Konqueror.
Can someone please tell me what I'm doing wrong?

for wpa you need the wpa_supplicant. install it and then edit and USE your network-profile (/etc/network-profiles/...) like this:
# Wireless Settings (optional)
ESSID=ShagNet
#KEY=
IWOPTS="mode managed essid $ESSID channel ?"
USEWPA="yes" # start wpa_supplicant with the profile
AUTOWPA="yes" # automatically configure WPA
PASSKEY="4rchL1nuxR0ck5" # wpa passkey/phrase. for use with AUTOWPA
for this your rc.conf must look like this:
INTERFACES=(lo !eth0 !foo)
NET_PROFILES=(menu)
hope that this will help you...

Guest Access - Layer 2 security WPA PSK - Layer 3 security web auth

I am not able to test this.
Has anybody configured the CUWN guest access with WPA PSK layer 2 and Web authentication layer 3
If so are there any problems that I should expect
Mark

Mark,
I have setup wireless in two other compainies related to Rail... The biggest issue will be who will support the guest users and will they take the responsibility. Their security team didn't want that and were fine with tunneling the users to either a dmz or seperate Internet connection. Will dhco release the address... Not right away. You can play around with the lease tim and see if your laptop keeps getting the same address or one higher. If the isue is with dhco being used up from association, then don't broadcast the ssid and have the receptionist hand out the ssid with username and password. My clients use a default username and passowrd but changes that every week. They seem to prefer that over changing it every day or have a username passeor for every guest user. They use wcs to print out the guest credentials. Again, the network team has the recepionist doing this, so they made sure that they are not making too much extra work for them or else they would have to be responsible for guest users.
Hope this helps.

E4200v2 - Cannot connect IP Camera w/ WPA-PSK

I recently puchased a new E4200v2 router and one of the devices that I have on my network is a Level1 WCS-2040 wireless network camera. My old router was a Netgear WPN-824. I was able to (and I'm still able to) connect the camera to the Netgear router with WPA-PSK but not to the new E4200v2. The only way for me to connect it to the new router is with WEP, which I obviously do not want.
I'm at a loss for what the problem is because the setup is easily done. I'm thinking it's an issue with the E4200v2 but I'm not sure what... hoping that the issue could be resolved in the next revision of the firmware. I've tried WPA2/WPA Mixed Mode, WPA Personal (which I understand is the same thing as WPA-PSK) and WEP. The camera supports WEP and WPA-PSK. When I have the camera configured with WPA-PSK it simply isn't connecting to the E4200v2, only the old netgear.
See screenshots below:
Netgear router wireless config:
Netgear router connected devices (shows laptop and wirelss camera):
IP Camera config while connected to old router:
IP Camera working on old network:
E4200v2 wireless status:
IP Camera config while connected to E4200v2 router (via wired connection, not wireless):
When the wired connection is removed from the camera and powercycled, the E4200v2 does not list the camera as a connected device. I've power cycled everything, multiple times and tried everything I know of. What could be the problem? Note that the MAC address for the camera is the same for both wired and wireless adapters. Not sure what to do, any help would be appreciated. And no, Password1 is not my default password... just what I was testing with for the purpose of screenshots.
Regards,
Henrik Gustavsson

The camera does not support WPA2, only WPA-PSK (TKIP) and WEP. That being the case, I've tried it with the router in WPA2/WPA Mixed Mode and WPA Personal. No dice... Still only works with WEP. Works with WPA-PSK on the old router just fine, just not the E4200v2.

Apple TV update doesn't like WPA-PSK

Got an Apple TV for Christmas and after running the update it will no longer connect to the Internet wirelessly. It gets an IP address and is on my local area network but does not connect to the Internet. If I disable WPA – PSK security on my router ATV works fine. It will also connect to a mobile hotspot. Has anyone else had this problem and if so what are you doing about it? I see lots of posts where the update ruined wireless connectivity completely but my problem seems to be with WPA PSK. Everything worked great prior to the update which I finally went ahead and did because of the annoying update message that kept popping up. Now I wish I hadn't done it. As far as troubleshooting goes I have connected ATV to iTunes and restored but that just puts the latest version back on it and I'm still in the same boat. I'm debating whether to drive over an hour to the Apple Store and try to exchange it or just wait on an update. If I wait on another update and the problem still isn't resolved then I have no warranty. The issue seems to be with the update not the unit itself.

I just posted this a few minutes ago with a similar problem.
How do you view tv or movie playlists created in iTunes on Apple TV?
You said you just updated your Apple TV so I assume that you have a 3rd generation Apple TV? I have a 2nd generation Apple TV but I never have created a tv or movie playlist so I'm not sure if I was doing something wrong. It's starting to sound more like an iTunes glitch.

Problems with WPA after most recent update

I just received an update to the airport that renders my ability to connect via WPA at my home network fruitless.
Had to drop down to WEP 64/128 to connect.
In specifics a D-link with WPA-PSK.
Can i roll back this update?
newbie.

Wish there were broadband providers in my area that provided perfectly good wireless router access at NO additional cost over a standard modem but a former girlfriend of mine paid a little extra per month for a wireless router provided by Time-Warner which was not perfectly good. She ended up giving back the wireless router for a standard modem lowering her monthly cost and purchasing her own but we had trouble setting up the brand name wireless router with her Windows PC. As a test, I plugged in my AE and within minutes we had an encrypted wireless network with none of the issues experienced with the wireless router previously provided by Time-Warner and she was impressed with how easy/fast it was to set up the AE so she purchased her own.
Wireless access points and routers are designed to be interoperable but check any 3rd party manufacturer's website for the number of firmware updates available for each model. Much of this is probably for various specific or overall improvements which have nothing to do with Apple or Microsoft updates but some of these firmware updates certainly do which each manufacturer is made aware of in advance and must keep up with.
Sometimes a particular update does create a new issue and this might be the case with this recent Apple Airport update that was targeted for Intel users only.

Connection to WLan failed (WPA (2) Password)

Good evening
We have got a MacBook Air since July and have been able to connect it to our privat WLan (running since years, connects 2 Iphones, 2 iPads, several Windows 7 machines and smartphones without a problem). Since this week I can't connect it to our WLan. The WPA (2) password has capital characters, small characters and numbers.
- Is it still a problem to connect a MacBook to a WLan with WPA(2) password with capital characters? (found in different foren as solution for this problem some years ago)
- Was there an update of the software that causes now problems?
Where can I find the operation system version? It is our first MacBook...
Thanks a lot
Matthias

IOS 5.1.1 should not have affected your WiFi connection, however, if you are now having problems try:
Try Settings -> General -> Reset -> Reset network settings
