Guest buono Posted January 19, 2006 Report Share Posted January 19, 2006 (edited) I recently upgraded my wifi router to make use of WPA. I went to set up my Orange M5000 to use WPA but hit a brick wall on the LEAP settings screen. I have gone into Wireless Manager -> Settings ->Wireless LAN Settings -> LEAP When I click on New, nothing happens. If I click on new again (or Modify for that matter) I get a warning beep. That's it. That's as far as I can get. Can anyone help me solve this? Edited January 19, 2006 by buono Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest sparkesy Posted January 25, 2006 Report Share Posted January 25, 2006 I've got this problem too. On mine it just hangs until I either soft reset or press one of the phone buttons (start/end call buttons) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Jasonkruys Posted January 27, 2006 Report Share Posted January 27, 2006 (edited) Just to set up WPA on a wireless network, you don't have to go near the LEAP screen. I'm not sure I understand what you are trying to do, which may be the case for other people! EDIT: If what you are trying to do is set up your M5000 to access your network with WPA, do the follwing: Switch on Wireless Networking!! Start>>>Settings>>>>Connections tab>>>>Wireless LAN then click on the little picture of the orange coloured m5000 looking icon in the bottom left hand corner of the screen, under the tabs... You should now be on a configure wireless networks screen.... Either Click 'Add new' at the top to manually configure, or if your network is on, your m5000 will find your network and ask for the settings...

Guest buono Posted January 27, 2006 Report Share Posted January 27, 2006 Do you mean tha small icon of a pda in portrait mode with some data-type airwaves coming upwards? That takes me to the Configure Network Adapters screen which is not what I need. The only screen that gives me an option for 'new' is the LEAP settings page which gives me the problem i explained.

The first thing you have to do is switch wireless on (as I said). With wireless switched on, that same icon will do exactly as I said. If you follow my instructions to the word, you cannot fail! >>>>> Switch on Wireless Networking!!

Guest buono Posted January 28, 2006 Report Share Posted January 28, 2006 Well, I did a hard reset and restored a backup from Sprite and I can now access the setting. I did exactly the same as I was doing before (INCLUDING having wifi turned on) and I am now good to go. Most strange. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
