• I have an Airport Express, which gives an unexpected error message when you try to connect to an existing network of WEP.  Any ideas.  Tried the factory returned. He was knocked offline when someone dug into the telco cables.

  I have an Airport Express, which gives an unexpected error message when you try to connect to a router WEP (Verizon) existing iOS9.3.2

  It flashes orange, but can not be reconnected to the router or to the title of the Setup Assistant or Airport utility.  Is there a way to reconnect to WIFI or should I bite the bullet and connect via Cat5e and be done with it.  My VPN works much better without AirPort Express connected.

  Sorry, but there is no WEP settings AirPort Utility on the iPhone or iPad, or any Mac version of AirPort Utility which was used for the last 4 years or so.

  If you have an older Mac still running AirPort 5.x utility or a PC with the AirPort for Windows utility installed on the device, the WEP settings that could be used to get the Express to connect to a WEP network there.

  As you know, WEP has not been secured for a number of years, and there are any number of free utilities available on the Internet, which is crack a WEP network in a few seconds. Thus, all those who want to be on your network will not have problems to do very quickly.

  But it's your call.

• Why do I get an incorrect WEP key during the installation of my printer?

  Product - specific document

  http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c00772798

  I worked for HP.

  This work also (well) with the J6480 printer.  I was using a Linksys router Wireless 'G' which creates 4 WEP keys, allowing you to choose which use.  I sent #2 key and it would not accept.  The only way I could make it work was to disable wireless security, is not my idea of a good option.  After numerious emails and 1 appeal to support with no ideas that I decided to seek out here and finally managed to do accept the WEP key.  I ended up completely uninstall/reinstall to get everything to work 100%, but now it works like a charm.  For those of you with a similar problem, when using a router that generates more than 1 WEP key, try using (sending) key #1

• Can I do the router uses an older Protocol of WIFI (WEP) with Lion?

  A colleague who I am to help got a new router, which wwas pre configured by the provider.

  Lions (Lions of Montain) on MacBook Air can connect to the Internet easily around my iOS 9 mobile (personal "hot spot").

  My 9 immediately connected iOS devices.   Although older OSX (Lion? ML?, I don't know with certainty at this time) does not work.

  They see the net in the most convenient airport and can fill in the PW and the 'antennas' in the menu shows good connection, although Mail and Safari (only available applications) report: no connection to the Internet.

  Perhaps the kind of connection is newer legacy systems can in itself.

  Can I do the router uses an older Protocol of the WIFI (WEP) with Lion on Airport?

  This will not change anything, except less secure your network.  The encryption method does not affect the rest of the internet connections, and you indicate that you are connected to WiFi.

• WiFi fails to connect when active Wep - Satellite L350

  Hello

  I have a Satellite L350. Day 1 purchase, free Wi - Fi was OK. Updates to operating system Vista Home Premium starts automatically and SP2 installed now. Now impossible to establish wireless connection WEP enabled on the router (3Com Office Connect ADSL Wireless 11g Firewall Router. Error message indicates the security settings of the network adapter (Atheros 5007EG) are incorrect.

  I have them repeatedly redefined and encryption of the router several times. Nothing works.
  The adapter can find my SSID of the network but will not connect. However if I turn off the WEP connection works.

  Cable connection to the router is working OK

  Driver for card is reported as more later.

  Can't think of anything else to do.
  Advice please.

  Hello

  It is certainly a problem of encryption
  You should check the configuration of your router again

  That means tat that you should try to change the type of encryption; try using WPA instead of WEP.
  This should be replaced on the router and WLan configuration settings
  Check if you can configure using the Atheros WLan WLan configuration tool
  But if you would do this, please don t forget to turn off internal Windows zero config.

• HP pavilion d4790y windows Vista cannot connect to internet unless you use WEP wireless

  I have a HP Pavilion with Windows Vista 32 bit home premium d4790y.  I can connect to my ISP wireless router using the HP internal network adapter, but the connection between the router and the internet does not work unless I downgrade the router security to WEP.  If I connect to the router via a wired connection, I can connect to the internet without problem even with WPA2.  I did all the troubleshooting steps recommended as reset the router to check updated network adapter, uninstall/reinstall the network adapter driver, driver release and renew the ip configuration, etc.  Information?  Is there a newer driver that is not recognized during the update search process?

  Hello

  It is a hardware thing and the wireless card does not support this. Changing the wireless card can be the way to go.

  I hope this helps.

• Unable to connect by Satellite 1410 604 to WLAN when enabled WEP in

  Hello!

  Well, all I was looking for this forum, but I was not able to find what is happening with this computer.

  News of the laptop:

  Toshiba Satellite
  Model: 1410-604
  Installed wireless network adapter:
  Toshiba Wireless LAN Mini PCI Card
  Texas Instruments PCI-1410 CardBus Controladora

  From what I could find so far (the laptop is not mine, I'm helping a friend to get solved this problem) this card supports the standard 802.11/b. This should not be a problem, because the A / P supports 802. 11b standard.

  Anyway, there is absolutely no way to get the laptop connected to the WLAN...

  Or, to be more correct: it does not connect to the WLAN when WEP encryption is enabled (WEP or WPA give the same thing: it seems to get connected, but never address IP of DHCP), but this drug is going very well, if I turn off the WEP encryption.

  The worst is that the installed drivers don't support almost any configuration. Advanced configuration supports the following:

  1. the station name
  2 channel
  3 speed transmission
  4. power management card

  In addition, the card doesn't have any network manager (as others have, where it is possible to adjust some settings and ensure that WEP is used properly).

  I don't know what is happening here. I wasn't able to get the card working in Windows XP and or in LINUX (knoppix, ubuntu and xubuntu I tried).

  I'm starting to think that this has to do with the card and it is the inability to work under encriptación WEP or WAP (it works OK in open WLANs), and I do not see how to solve this problem.

  It seems that there are no newer drivers than what I (downloaded at Toshiba),
  I don't know if an update of the BIOS, will probably not solve.

  The card is maybe just too old... but if I'm not wrong... It should work. Shouldn't it?

  All ideas are absolutely our guests!

  Best regards

  Hello

  It seems that this map was made by Agere (it comes to WLan driver appearing on the Toshiba page).
  The INF file provides a few details and the driver appear to come from v7.42.0.300 19/12/2001

  However, the encryption WEP or WAP is features material and if the equipment (WLan card) does not support this then an update of the driver would not help you!

  But what you might check is the option in the Device Manager-> card Wlan-> properties-> Advanced tab
  Usually, there is all necessary settings and if the encryption would be supported then you should find it there.

  If this doesn't help then I advise you to buy a USB WLan stick who favour more recent ciphers

• Satellite P20: WEP key does not fit - only 24 characters

  Salvation; on my satellite p20 there is not enough space to enter a wep key of 26 characters (only 24 places) can someone advise how to configure to accept the 26 characters
  Rgds david

  Hi David

  When you enter your password, only 24 points will be displayed. Please enter the set password and save. When you open it again the number of points will be different again. It is a kind of security features and do not show the actual password length.

• Qosimo G20: Settings Wlan WEP is not possible running Config free?

  Hello!
  I have a G20 Qosimo running XP media center operating system.
  Default Toshiba ConfigFree is installed.
  Tried to find out how to set the WEP key, but try to do it in the configuration/network settings task was abandoned with a message.
  This message referring to Microsoft KB 871122.
  Seams to be replaced by ConfigFree wireless auto configuration (or other software I'm not aware of).
  I can't follow the statement as I see as I installed ConfigFree.
  Did he encountered this problem and solved it?

  Hello

  What card WLan is preinstalled on your device?
  As far as I know that some Qosmio G20 units use an Atheros WLan card.
  In this case the Atheros WLan client utility should be preinstalled on this laptop. This program disables the Windows configuration.

• Satellite Pro 4600: when I use WEP, I can't do any connection more

  Hey everybody,

  When I connect my Tohsiba Satellite Pro 4600 via map of build-in network without WEP wireless to an AP, there is no problem, connection is establische and everything works fine.
  When I use WEP, I can't do any connection more.
  Is there a solution to use encryption WEP 128 bit on a portable Thosiba Pro 4600 with build-in WIFI network.

  Thanks in advance

  What card WLan do you use?

  As far as I know the laptop must be equipped with LAN Wireless / WiFi Standard: 802. 11B ORiNOCO Mini PCI card.
  This card supports WEP 64 or 128 RC4 security.

  Everything looks like you WLan card doesn't support the same standards of security as your WLan router. You must understand that this WLan card is an oldie about 7 years.

  I think that the best solution is to use external USB WLAN which support the latest encryption standards

• Enabling WEP on Satellite A100

  You just bought an A100. Hoping to run wireless. Guide suggests that validates the WEP function but does not say how and I don't see it in any application?... or would that part of installing broadband?

  Hello

  WEP encryption can be enabled in the wireless properties. Please open network connections in Control Panel and open the wireless network connection properties.

  After that go to the tab wireless networks. It should be shown your WLAN and if you go to the properties of your WLAN you can find the data encryption option. Here you can set the WEP option.

• WEP encryption key do not forget when you restart the Equium M50-244

  I use a laptop Equium M50-244, with a BT Home Hub 7838 wireless router. Almost everytime I turn on the laptop it has no wireless connection. So I have to go to control panel, network connections and that he can find a new connection.

  I would then type the key to encryption WEP number twice to get a new connection.
  This is obviously a long procedure, so I need to get the laptop to recognize the encryption key and save it for the next time I turn on.

  I am running Windows XP Home Edition with Service Pack 2 and a Norton Anti Virus and Firewall.

  Any help would be appreciated

  Hello

  I agree with Louis. Your WLAN cards support WPA encryption and, if possible, you should use it.

  Anyway: try to Setup WLAN to use Windows settings and set WEP password we remind for your WLAN. I have the set up on a lot of laptops different and after choosing the publicly traded WLAN password has already been set and the only thing that must be done is to click on the Connect button.
