WPA Pass not accepted, can't connect to access point

[idkew]

I have a D-Link router that I want to use WPA2 encryption with.


It is setup correctly, as a PC can connect to it sucessfully. I am obviously using WPA-PSK with WPA & WPA2. TKIP and AES cipher. 11 digit ASCII key.

The problem is that my 1.33 Ghz 17" powerbook can not connect. I get an error on connect every time. Same with WPA. It seems that the password is not being sent correctly to the router.

Is there some trick I am missing to get the password correct?

FWIW- I can connect when there is no security.

Look at this page:

Look at the very, very last thing at the bottom about setting the authentication type to "auto" vs. WPA-PSK.... See if that might help you?

have you tried entering the HEX equivalent instead of the WEP password itself? for my Linksys router thats what i have to do for some reason.

Have you tried 'WPA' instead of 'WPA2'?

yes, no luck either.


besides, i want wpa2. more security = better

(as long as it works...)

Does this article help? I'm assuming your PowerBook is completely up-to-date too, right?
