Can't Enable WPA2-PSK----New ROM

[johnrr6]

My first post gentlemen....

please be gentle.....

I have a brand new Sprint Mogul as of 5 days ago.....Updated to the latest official ROM with GPS and EVDO Rev A as soon as I had synched it properly with Vista and it's mobile portion (worked flawlessly by the way).

Then I resynched it and "customized"---added voice tags to programs and contacts----trained the handwriting transcriber----and general other housekeeping stuff to make it more friendly to me....

I am in love with this phone----does everything I want it to do and more....

But I am having one "issue"....

I cannot get it to connect in Wifi with my D-Link DIR-655 wireless router.

I am using WPA2-PSK on the router----and it generates a 64 digit code/key

My mogul recognises my SSID and WPA2-PSK and gives me a box to enter the key.

But will only let me type in 60 digits of the key----not 64

it simply refuses to let me enter any more digits after the 60th....

Do you folks have any suggestions/guidance???

Is there a Registry Hack to change the settings in that key input box to allow 64 digits?

What registry editor is popular with the Mogul??

Thanks for any help or suggestions.

WPA uses a passphrase, not the key. WEP is where you enter the hex key.

Maybe I have called it the wrong thing but...

Bottom Line is that I have entered 6 laptops into my home network...

all recognize my SSID...

Call it a WPA2-PSK protected network...

And ask for a code/passphrase/key

I type in the 64 digits that the router generated

And I'm allowed in the network---I make connection.

I cannot type 64 digits into the mogul's box that asks me for the code/passphrase/key----it will only accept 60 digits

There HAS to be a way around this.....

change your wireless key

Well----got it fixed----didn't have to reset the key from the router.....

I was using the stylus and transcriber to enter the key/code/passphrase.

for whatever reason----it would stop at 60 characters......

Once I switched to the keyboard to enter the characters-----it would accept all 64.

I must have had some extra spaces in the key using the transcriber and stylus.

WiFi at my home is working EXCELLENTLY now.

thanks for the help and suggestions.

Glad it's working for you, correct terminology, just wanting to make sure you weren't making it too hard.
In my router I select "WPA" then I get an input box for "PSK (8-63 chars)"

I'm having trouble with my stock rom 3.5 too, it will connect fine, but everytime it reconnects I have to re-enter my key.
it doesn't matter wep or wpa anyone else, have this issue?

No problems here with WiFi. I turned on WiFi the first time, it located my network (using WPA2-PSK), I entered my network key / password one time, and it's never asked me again, no matter how many times I turn WiFi on and off.
