M3100 on secured wifi network

[Guest stevejarvis]

Has anyone successfully used an M3100 on a secure wifi network using WEP encryption?

The device seems to lose the key about 50% of the times that the connection is closed.

Hi Steve,

I have got mine to work on 3 WEP enabled networks and yes its a pain to get them set up. I find the best way is to type the key into notepad first then cut and paste them in - also make sure the default key on the router/ WI-FI AP is number 1 for ease of use - I could not get it to work on default key 3 which my home was set up as - also had the same problem on my Sony PSP as well - so when I set it to key 1 they both worked.

You just have to keep trying I found - but it does work

good luck

Peter

Not had any problem with mine at home - once the key is in it just stays. I've also got my default on 1.

I regularly use mine on three different WEP Wifi networks and all work fine. The only thing I find that I have to do is to clear out a lot of random SSID's when I have been using public ones...for example, I used the Orange Partnercamp one last week and one of the three available at the airport in Cadiz and when I got home I found that my device took a bit longer to connect to home and work access points (ie took about 30 seconds instead of 10)...but once I went through the SSID's saved by the device and deleted all the ones I am unlikely to use again, everything sped back up again.

I have seen the speed issue on mine too if I use hotspots and other "free" connections my AP list gets a bit long and it does take a while to get to my home AP or Work AP - not sure if there is a way of prioritising this list at all so that you can tell the unit to try home AP fist then work then the rest.

Would be nice if you can

I did have a look...but couldnt find a way - so simply go through the SSID's stored once every couple of weeks and remove the ones I wont be using again anytime soon.
