Wifi on SP5m?

[Guest Tech]

Hi there.

Just got my SP5m :D

Wondering if there is a way for the wifi to use WEP? There currently appears no option to! I need WEP if possible as that is the way I configured my wireless and wish to keep it that way :)

[edit]Nevermind, was being daft and its an option in the "data encryption", I as looking at "Authentication"[/edit]

other problem:

CANNOT seem to connect to my wireless :) why? Nothing happens, it finds it. I created a new connection with the network key and correct authentication type but it puts a cross next to the wireless network.

Happen to use MAC Address filtering?

[Guest Tech]

nope

it seems to work ok now.

I had to disable MAC Address filtering and disable the SSID

THEN I had to enable the wifi on the device

wait for it to AUTOMATICALLY detect the wireless networks. Once done, it picked up my wireless and then I entered the WEP key. Then I changed the key index. Then it all worked fine

I then disabled the SSID and enabled MAC Address filtering - works fine :)

IF you do it manually - it doesnt work apperently so let the OS do it :D

So bearing in mind what you just explained, Roma WAS right, and you DO use MAC address filtering then... ?
