Connecting with WPA2-PSK[AES] in WM6

I have a t-mobile Dash. I'm trying to connect to my home router/AP using WPA2-PSK. I've double-checked my network key and other settings, but I can't seem to get it to connect. Here are my settings:
Network name: GTHOME <- matches my router's broadcast SSID
Network type: Internet
Not a hidden network
Not an ad-hoc connection
Authentication: WPA2-PSK
Data encryption: AES
The key is not automatically provided
Network key: (matches my router's key)
Key index: 1
Does not user IEEE 802.1x network access control. (I've tried it both ways, with PEAP
On trying to connect, my Dash give this message:
"Cannot connect to the network. Check your network and service provider settings and try again."
The AP is a Netgear WPN824 v2 with the latest firmware. Any suggestions?
TIA

Try using a 9 letter word for your key.

I had an 8 letter key before. I tried 9 - no luck. What's magic about 9?

Guy, do you have a Mac Adddress Filter area on your router?Open your router so no key is required to make a connection and after you establish a connection use the WEP or WPA2-PSK key option! Can you find your Mac address and your Phone's Ip address on your router. You can find this info on your phone also in Comm Manager> setting> Wifi> Connection Status area. There is a place on your router to put this info, so that the router will know that its ok to connect to this device with this info, I believe its in the advance area on your router and use the 10 key WEP if possible!

Install NetWorkMagic To You System
Go to http://www.networkmagic.com and install the trail version on your PC. Networkmagic will tell you if your system is setup correctly or if their is some kind of problem. Use the network map, this will give you a good ideal of whats going down on your system......! If you cannot see your phone on the network map, then Houston, we got a problem...........!But we will fix it! Happy Thanksgiving!

Yep 8 is secure enough. try again without any caps or numbers. e.g. give aaaaaaaa a try
And see that error you mention, that looks like the one IE gives. What happens when you press connect in the wifi list?

I found that having any character other than a-z, 0-9 would cause the dash to fail to connect even though pc's and laptops had no problems. My initial key contained a "-" and "$"-- it drove me crazy trying to figure out the problem until I realized only the dash couldn't connect.

Thanks for the suggestions. I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday
I double-checked the MAC address filter - it's turned off.
I was able to connect with Open Authentication and WEP Data encryption, and if I disable security altogether. Neither of these options is satisfactory.

I also tried 'aaaaaaaa' as the key. It doesn't work in either WPA-PSK or WPA2-PSK with TKIP or AES encryption.
The warning I get when I press the connect key in the wi-fi list is -
"Cannot connect to the network. Check your network and service provider settings and try again."

Make sure the Key Index on the phone matches the Key Rotation on the router.

I don't think I'm using Key Rotation. Isn't that just for WEP? And, only if you have a RADIUS server? I just have a simple home network, nothing fancy.

I have a basic USRobotics router and it supports key rotation for WPA2. I had it set to 0 (meaning off), however there was no equivalent setting on my S621. The S621 could only be set at 1,2,3,or 4. When I set both the S621 and the router to the same number (in my case 4) I was able to connect.

My netgear doesn't have a place to set key rotation. I tried each key order (1 - 4) on the phone - no luck.
I even tried installing the evaluation version of CommView for WiFi (http://www.tamos.com/products/commwifi/) so I could see what each device is doing. But, I don't have a compatible adapter.

Your Router's IP Address Is 192.168.1.1 Not 192.168.0.1

For your router with IP address 192.168.1.1 with the WPA encryption, turn on the MAC address Filter and install the phone's MAC address in the router in the appropriate area, save settings (soft reset)! Now your phone will now be able to connect to your network via wifi.........!

Well, it's working now in WPA-PSK(TKIP) mode. Here are the changes I made:
I installed a new battery (my Dash started dying every time I turned on wireless while on the battery).
I removed a network called "Free Public Wireless." The Dash would try to connect to this network when it failed to authenticate on my encrypted network.
I suspect the "Free Public Wireless" network was interfering with the login to my home network. I'm just happy that it's working.

Hi, all,
I have the same problem:-
"Cannot connect tot the network. Check your network and service provider settings and try again."
After some troubleshooting, I found that this problem will go away when I set some IP address in the network adapter.
I have confirmed that my password (network key) is correct and my MAC filter are also correct.
The only changes that I can think of is that I went to US last week and connected using hotels' wireless access. No IP settings were done during the connection.
Please let me know if anyone has any idea on how to solve this problem.
Many thanks in advance.

Desire: Connecting to WiFi Unsuccessful [SOLVED]

Hey everyone,
I just got a brand new HTC Desire yesterday and I can't seem to connect my phone to the internet via WiFi. I don't know why but I entered the right password and everything... Every time it goes 'Obtaining IP address from (router name)', but ends up unsuccessful. I tried forgetting and doing it again but still does not work. Anyone have any ideas? Please let me know what information I should post to solve this matter quicker. I'm running on 2.1 update1
[SOLVED]

It seems that most HTC Android phones are very fussy about the routers they will reliably connect to. Whether it's a really a phone problem, or the router that is at fault isn't really known.
Try changing the channel and/or encryption method on your router, as this may help.
Regards,
Dave

Solution
I found my way around solving this issue. Here's how I solved my problem:
Problem: Unable to connect to WiFi. Able to scan network but 'Unsuccessful' everytime WiFi attempts to 'Obtain IP Address from (network name)'.
Solution:
1) Press Menu key under WiFi window on HTC Desire
2) Choose Advanced Settings
3) Under IP Settings, Check 'Use Static IP'
4) Insert all the information below that: IP address, Gateway, Netmask, DNS1, DNS2 (it should all be in numbers)(I only had one DNS1, so I typed the same numbers in DNS2)
You can get the information via Laptop:
Right Click on your network>select 'Status'>select 'Details' under signal quality>All the information you need
5) Once all information is filled in, press 'Return' key and it SHOULD connect successfully.
Additional Notes: I selected the WiFi network and entered the passkey before I did all the steps above.
Hopefully this helps those who had the same problem I did!

Haven't you just given your Desire the same IP address as your laptop??
If your wireless network is set up to use DHCP, you shouldn't need to do any of this.
Regards,
Dave

I dont understand why also but IT WORKS! Rightfully, mine is running on dynamic IP. Will it have any problem connecting again once IP address is refreshed?

A BIG THANK YOU..have been trying to connect with all possibilities minus setting up the static as Im using dynamic which doesnt make sense.

Keep in mind that you have to give all your devices on that network then a static ip-adres, because otherwise you run the risk of another device already having the ip you assigned to your phone.

So is there a valid (non-static IP) solution????
I just got this problem both at home and at other places as well.
I can't find any errors in Android, and wifi scans as it should, it connects but as the topic starter stats, it can't assign an IP-adress!
Static IP is not a solution for me, nor should be for anyone, this is basic function that should work with out issues.
Please advise if there is any, thanks in advance!

I was able to connect but noted that my phone wouldn't even completely charge, got hot and emptied in about an hour, so I installed "Startup Auditor" and" JuiceDefender" but somehow these seem to have broken the Wifi. I uninstalled JuiceDefender and there's nothing disabled in Startup Auditor that could explain it. But the phone can see Wifi points, but can't connect.
Wassup?

Of course it's possible that as the phone is rooted, juicedefencer changed something as root and I have no idea how to change it back.

glad u got it fixed!

[Q] Setting up Wifi Using Static IP?

On previous android file systems I was able to manually assign the phone a static ip, dns, gateway, subnet, however I can't seem to figure out how to do it on ICS. Can this no longer be done or has it been moved somewhere in settings I'm overlooking? I'm having trouble connecting to my home network, however I know if I set up everything manually using static values I'll be set. I go to Settings -> Wifi -> : -> Advanced -> but nothing there to change the phone static information.
-EDIT-
Nevermind got it, but have another question below. Under wifi, hold the network and then choose modify. Put in IP address you want phone to be, gateway for router, Internet DNS information, and the subnet 24 for 255.255.255.0. I did it wrong the 1st time and assuming it was asking for router info and IP and not to assing the phone a specific IP address too

Long press on your networks SSID in the list of available networks and select 'modify network'. From here you can set everything manually.

Long press on the access point you want to change the settings for and choose "modify network". From the pop up window tick "show advanced options".

Thanks guys I figured it out. When I originally did that I thought it was for router info, so I stuck the IP address of the router in IP slot and not gateway at the time. Went back in and it just dawned on me. Back to setting up the new toy.

Don't want to waste space with a new thread, but must the router be broadcasting? I've always been able to setup without broadcasting the router, however I turned off wifi and turned it on and ICS cannot find the router and connect unless I'm broadcasting. I prefer to not broadcast my router for the neighborhood to see, despite having security encryption on

Is your wireless secure and are you mac address filtering. The phone also has a mac address you need to add to router if you are. It will show connected but not surf if your mac addy filtering.

thanx for the reply,but i guess my wifi's mac filtering is off,and its WPA2 secured.
if it is as u say then why i can connect through my other android phone without requiring the mac addition to my mac filter :-?

You "guess" it's off??
Either you have it on or off.
Just log onto your router, which for example my Netgear is: 192.168.0.1
Enter your router's username (admin) as standard
Enter your Router's password (which hopefully has been changed from the standard password, which is..."password"
Click 'wireless settings'
There you should see an option to click on "Setup Access list"...click it.
Then you should see "Turn Access Control On" with a box with an option to tick or untick.
If it's ticked, then you need to go to "Add New Station Manually"
You will see "Device Name:" ...so enter your device name.
then you will see "MAC Address:"....enter the MAC Address of your phone which can be found by going into:
Settings/about phone/hardwareinfo
Once you've entered your info in the 'Device Name' and 'Mac Address' fields of your router, click "ADD" then click "Apply"
OR:
Just uncheck "Turn Access Control On" in the router, then enter your WEP or WPA password into your phone to connect.
If that doesn't work, unplug router from mains supply for 10 seconds, plug it back in then try that.
cheers

Ad-hoc networking
Ok, noob warning! Forgive me if this ain't the right place for this.
I'd like to set up an ad-hoc network between my HTC One S and my Macbook Pro. I have enabled the network on the Mac, but the phone does not seem to see it. Any chance of that happening without rooting? I'm too much of a noob to try that.
The purpose is to use my phone to browse my computer when a wifi network is unavailable. I'm not trying to tether for data.
Thanks!

good one

That's nice but the problem is that my galaxy young cannot detect the connection I've made in my laptop so what can I do now ??
