hi I've just purchased a Chines iPhone 4 which works well with blue-tooth in my car and WiFi on public connections, Macer's and local Coffee shop, but It will not connect to my home router which is a D-link DIR 300, with WEP security. I've tried changing across to WPA but my Presario CQ40 will not accept WPA settings can you help
 
well first make sure everything is on WEP (more universal) since your computer can't do WPA. Typically, the biggest problem is the passkey. I'm pretty sure its something simple, since your able to connect elsewhere and you have a computer connected to the router already.

worse case scenario you can always restore your router to factory defaults in case you had changed the password and forgot it.
 
thanks
