Home LAN ok with WEP but can't connect to works WPA-PSK secured network.
I have a fairly new ROM
Operator version 5.40.1.179
Rom version 1.40.00 WWE
Rom date 03/10/05
Radio version 1.06.02
Protocol version 1337.38
ExtROM version 1.40.179 WWE
Don't really want to do another ROM upgrade unless it is ABSOLUTELY essential. Anyone have a similar ROM with a working WPA-PSK network?
When we set WPA-PSK on the Blue Angel it insists on 802.1X authentication with either smart card or certificate. Our network doesn't use either but the tick box to turn off IEEE 802.1X access is greyed out on the BA. It isn't greyed out when we use WEP.
Is there a registry setting I could amend to turn off IEEE 802.1X when WPA-PSK is activated.
Do radio upgrades also require full hard resets?
Do hope someone can help.
On the Network Key screen what are you setting in the Authentication drop down? You should be choosing WPA-PSK and Data Encryption TKIP. Uncheck if checked The Key is provided for me automatically, and enter the key in network key box. Key index should be 1 by default. You should IGNORE the 802.1x tab.
I will let others answer regarding the Radio ROM upgrade as I am not sure what exists for the BA. But I doubt that this would solve the question anyway.
Hope this helps!
Jbn,
We are doing exactly as you say (TKIP, uncheck auto key, enter key & key index 1). We haven't been trying to set the details on the 802.1x tab but when we failed to connect we took a look at it.
We have MAC filtering set up and have included the BA MAC address (as provided by vxIP). Checked and double checked the key.
Just been informed that setting EAP type to PEAP in 802.1x tab rather than smart card or certificate might help.
Fingers crossed this will fix it.
Got it working
I had it working with my K-Jam original ROM, although I would much prefer support for 802.11i/AES...
Does anyone know if AKU2 introduces support for WPA2/AES/EAP-TLS or EAP-TTLS?
Now, there's a trick I think I read here before:
type your PSK with your on-screen keyboard, not the hardware keuboard.
Give it a try and let us know.
Cheers,
Hal
Oooops! Sorry guys, BA forum... My post is partly irrelevant.
Still, try the on-screen keyboard...

Blue Angel will not connect to 802.11G network
I thought I would try out a few of the suggestions on my home LAN even though it was working fine under WEP. Then I would be set up for the office LAN on Monday (or so I thought).
It turns out my wireless access point does not have WPA-PSK facility (I may look for a firmware upgrade tomorrow).
However when I changed the network from mixed mode to just 802.11G I was unable to connect to it. Resetting back to mixed mode & it connects ok. It would appear that my problem is not WPA-PSK but more specifically 802.11G networks. Does WPA-PSK only operate on 802.11G networks or can it run on 802.11b?
I have seen the 5 page thread on the Wizard index relating to a cab installation / registry fix to enable 802.11g access. Unfortunately the cab didn't install on the Blue Angel.
Can anyone suggest a fix and do you have 802.11g access with your Blue Angels?
BA does not have 802.11g. The Wizard supports it with appropriate ROM or Registry updates.
WPA-PSK is independent of B/G. So, yes, if your workplace is G only then this could explain the problem that you are having.

Thanks jbn, it's starting to make sense now.
I have just made the registry entries required by the Wizard to my BA. I'll reboot and set network to g and see how it goes..............
EDIT
DID NOT WORK. Perhaps the BA hardware simply can't do 802.11g. Can anyone confirm the WiFi of the BA is different to the Wizard AND not capable of 802.11g?
IIRC, the BA uses TI's TNETW1110 chip, which does *NOT* support 802.11g at all. The code for supporting the newer TNETW1130 (which is what I think they use in the Wizard) is actually present ... which is why WiFi will become disabled if you turn on the 802.11g registry hacks in your BA ...

BA cannot do 802.11g because of the hardware. Never, ever.
If you have a g access point, it must be set to mixed mode for the BA (or any b-only device) to connect. Note that while the b device is active on the network, any other g clients will see slower connect speeds because of the compatibility mode. This is why some homogeneous environments would set to disallow b connections.
As far as WPA-PSK goes, I am using it with my BA. Any connect problems I've had were always due to something set wrong on the AP. The BA is WPA, not WPA2 (a/k/a 802.11i). Also, it does not support the AES mode of encryption. So make sure your AP is set to WPA-PSK (1 is usually implied when 2 is not supported) and TKIP, not AES or TKIP+AES.
One other suggestion. If you happen to be using a certain type of Linksys AP, there was a bug in one version of the firmware whereby if you had ever entered WEP keys and then tried to switch to WPA, it wouldn't work without first clearing the WEP keys with a hard reset. I had this issue and it drove me crazy until I read about the solution.
Hope this helps,
Paul
ratazzi,
Thanks for your comments.
Don't think they will like it at work if I tell them I need to slow the network down for 50 users just so I can connect my BA
Could I connect a 802.11b wireless access point to my desktop / laptop at work (connected to the internet) and connect my BA to the access point without slowing down the rest of the network?
It is good to know that the BA can do WPA-PSK even if only at 802.11b. I realise 802.11b is fast enough for the BA but if corporate networks are running at 802.11g then the BA will fail to connect at any speed.
Any other solutions to connect a BA to 802.11g?
ActivSync is ok but I would prefer wireless.
Is there a SD LAN card that would do 802.11g (plus WPA-PSK)?
Enabling mixed mode on a decent Wireless Access Point will not force all clients to run at 11Mbps. Those that can will do 54, those that can't won't.

You can do that.
However your IT staff would probably go beserk.
I check regularly to ensure that none of my users has done the very thing ... One user demended that he be allowed to and got very annoyed when I refused. He didn't see anything wrong with introducing a consumer grade (read low security) AP into an environment where we had paid top dollar for AP's with heavy security and spent many many hours locking everything down as much as humanly possible.
Remember WPA-PSK is not intended for enterprise level security ... it's better than WEP but given a poor passphrase it's vulnerable.

A quick search of google says yes. Don't know if they are any good ... perhaps you could let US know?
Some good points there Doormat.
If I use a complex passphrase (WPA-PSK) and MAC filtering I am assuming it will be relatively safe i.e. as safe as the main network since that is what the network guys have set up.
Having recently purchased an E100, 2 off E200's a C500 and a M2000, together with about 3GB of SD cards my budget is rather stretched.
As soon as I can I will pick up a SD LAN card and post my results.
Thanks for all the help from XDA-developers.
Doormat,
My attempts with google suggest 802.11g only exists for CF cards not SD cards. Or that was the comment made 8th Jan by ms mobiles http://msmobiles.com/news.php/4767.html
Do you have a link for a SD card?
802.11b devoces will impact 802.11g device!
JBN,
I have to partly disagree with you:
using mixed mode will negatively impact the throughput of you .11g network.
This is due to the protection bit that is being set then for the .11g devices/APs.
The global effect is that while the datarate of the 11g clients will be of 54Mbps (potentially), the real throughput on an enterprise grade AP will be at best around 17/18Mbps instead of 25-27Mbps.
That's a very good reason for corp netadmins to try and ban .11b devices on an 11g network...
Doormat, I agree with you. In my terminology an AP brought by an end-user in a corp network qualifies as a rogue AP and will be immediately blocked.
WPA2/802.11i/RSN with eap-tls/ttls or PEAP is the first basic rule of thumb... Even @home that's what I run. Call me paranoid ;-)
Cheers,
Hal
hal, you are technically correct of course, but the net result in most configurations is not noticeable as far as performance goes. There is a huge difference with WAPs that were forced to B for all clients when only one such client had connected amongst a set of Gs. In my (limited I accept) experience there is no practical difference for most of the time. In high bandwidth environments it is an academic discussion because in those circumstances systems should be connected using 100BaseT or GigE in a switched network rather than a collision-prone network.
Let's not lose sight of the original question though with this level of technical conversation!

Hi all, I've just installed upgrade my Jasjam to WM6 ( Black 1.2) - very nice and fast. However, after upgraded I'm unable to connect to my NetGear Router via Wifi (WEP enabled) any longer.
The WEP Key and MAC address are correct - sometimes the software SOCKET WIFI can identify the SSID but unable to connect still. I've tried to connect without WEP key but no success. The only success I have with the Jasjam to use the Internet is via MS activesync thru notebooks ( via WEP wireless ) to the router. Can anyone help ????....
Is there some setting in WM6 that I'm not awared off.
Many thanks in advance.
I had the same problem with my netgear router on WM6 until I realised I had to check/enable "This is a Hidden Network" in the network card settings.
should work

Thank you very much. That tiny check has saved me hours of frustration. It worked perfectly.
So, is it possible? Has it been done and I missed it? WPA2 ability would greatly increase my use of this device, and everyone else's I'm sure.
I've also searched all over the web for information on connecting the SX66 to a WPA2 connection.
I'm running DD-WRT v23 SP2 on a Linksys WRT54GL. My router is running in WPA2 Pre-Shared Key Only security mode with AES WPA Algorithms. My WPA Shared Key consists of 63 random alpha-numeric characters as generated by GRC's Ultra High Security Password Generator.
My SX66 is running ROM version 1.40.00, Radio version 1.15.00, and ExtROM version 1.40.125, as supplied by the SX66 Standardization Project.
I'm using Juniper Odyssey 4.50.0.2911 to try to connect to my router.
After typing in the router information, Odyssey attempts to connect to the access point but gets no further than searching for access point.
Can anyone offer any advice?
Try to "downgrade" your security to wpa... :/
I found this over the internet, it may be your router...
However, in WPA2's ratification, there is an
implemetation called WPA2/TKIP+AES which allows the use of WPA/TKIP for
backward compatibility. Check if your APs support that..... Even that, it
is not a guarantee that it will work. I have never got it working with
Linksys WRT54GS/WRT54GX. However, the Linksys WRT54GC works flawlessly. My
laptops are connecting via WPA2/AES and my WM5 devices are connecting via
WPA/TKIP.

All,
I just got my p3300 and successfully flashed wm6. COOL.
However I have a problem now and don't know if it is wm6 issue or my own net work:
with my laptop I can connect fine wirelessly to my router
With my p3300 and through usb through my laptop I can internet as well.
My p3300 sees all wireless networks fine, but cannot connect to my network.
I input all settings, have the correct passwork and key index. The phone tries to connect, but after 20 seconds responds that I have used the incorrect network key.
I tried using manual netork ip adress. then the phone does connect, but I cannot open an internet page.....
What am I doing wrong?
Patrick
I had the same problem. At the end i restarted my router and the connection worked fine.
Hi
How you do it? To flash wm6
I try but now my pocket not work.
Can you help me?
Thank you!

This is strange . Most probably is my 3Com router in the office that has the problem - it is setup as 11g. At home ZyXel is 11b. Artemis ROM is BB4.1 with 802.11g enabled.
Hey
I just got this phone.
Anyways, thought it'd be great to connect to my home internet.
We have an Airport Base Station. It's passworded with WPA Personal.
Anyway, it goes to connect, says I need a network key. I type the password in and it fails to connect. I figure I need to set it to WPA.
I go to configure and then click my router in the list.
In 'General' Tab I've got it as 'connects to the internet'.
In Network key I'm pretty sure i've tried them all. Some settings has the network key grayed out. Other settings I type it in, click ok and it INSTANTLY says the network key isnt correct. Wouldn't it need a moment to verify with the router if I'm typing the right password?????
Anyway I think I've tried all combos. Then when I click my router and hit connect, it says connecting for a moment, then goes back to available.
Any ideas?
I did a hard reset. I havent updated the ROMs or anything yet... would that be wise?
Cheers

Last I checked, the angel only supports 802.11B, not G.
No G = no WPA, only WEP.
hmmm
but it has WPA settings in the network key tab?
also it refers to it as 802.11X I think?
ok guys do not confuse encryption with network speed, personally i use in my BA and router with setup WPA PSK (Personal Key) with TKIP encryption, secure and compatible solution
if encrypption is WPA2 the BA will not connect

Shows how long it's been since I updated my angel then, I was not aware that a WPA stack had been added to the available ROM's.
