Please excuse my ignorance but I am very new to pc and especially this phone..I have wireless network and when I locate it on phone and enter password it says unable to connect and to check wep..which I have....Can anyone tell me where I am going wrong..If I go into my wireless connection it asks if I want to add a device to my network...should I do this..does network need authority for phone to work....If this is the case it then tells me to download settings to flashdrive and then to device...which obviously phone cannot take flashdrive ..so would I download settings direct to phone...sorry if this sounds confusing.... but that is exactly how I feel...confused.....If I have it all wrong can someone please tell me ..how do I coonect to my wireless network..many thanks. to you all....I can see I am going to be a regular here...

Hi Russell, I use a wireless router in my home and set WEP on my wireless network for security. When I connect my N958GB to my home network my router will prompt for WEP code and I just enter that on my phone and it connects. I am not sure what type of networking you have set up but it sounds like it is Windows controlled? Can you provide my info about your network set up and with that may be I can help you with your problem?

Cheers, Michael

Many thanks for your reply.....I also have the 8gb...and have the same set up as you with the wireless router...my phone finds my network connection...and then asks for password which I enter...and then tells me it cannot connect and to check my wep...and I have and it is the correct wep....am really stumped on this... my laptop signs in fine...but the phone is a different matter... my system is windows by the way...thanks again for your reply.....russell

What kind of router?

russell · #5 12-29-2007, 02:46 PM

Hi there...my router is a Dlink wireless adsl2+ router...........I was talking in chat to a friend in uk and he said that I need to add device to wireless network...but he wasn't sure about downloading settings straight to phone.........It seems logical to do so but I have no idea how to...by this I mean what do I have the phone set on to receive the downloaded settings...that is of course if this is what is needed.....My phones over last 6 yrs are sony ericson t610...nokia 6600 and now the nokia n95......if only I could work it ...thanks again

if you have mac address filter enabled then you need to add the phones mac address to the router. or a quick fix sometimes work is to disable wep, get the phone to log on, then enable wep. weird but it worked for me.

Is your password case sensitive? Does it have both, numbers, and letters too? If so, are you going into number mode on your phones keypad, ot pressing the letters keys several times to get the number.? Someone I know had a similar issue where it would only accept numbers from the number menu.

Thanks all for your help..I do not have an address filter and my wep is all numbers so unfortunately neither response solved my problem...but I do appreciate everyone trying..some how I still think the solution is to add device to wireless network....but how....please keep the advice coming in.....russell

Enter the WEP key in hex on the phone!

An ADSL 2+ router should support WPA.

WEP is very weak security, it has been described as being like locking your front door, leaving the keys under the mat and then pinning a large note to the door saying the keys are under the mat.

The N95 seems to have much less trouble with WPA.
