X51v prob connecting to Airport wireless LAN

Aximatic · 03-08-07, 07:51 PM

I've tried many times to connect my new X51v to my Aiport Express network at home, but without luck.

Could someone offer me some tips as to how to setup the Axim, so that it can find and use my LAN connection. My net connection is DSL via a Alcatel Speedtouch router, and I plug the Airport Express ethernet cable into a router port. Airport works fine using my Macbook pro.

From memory, the network is setup as "private" with WEP encryption. I've been trying to connect using the WLAN utility on the X51v - it can "see" my network (lists it on screen), but can't get internet connecction to work, as can't seem to connect to my wireless network.

Any help much appreciated!

Thanks.

If the Airport has 'G' capabilities, make sure it's working in mixed or B only mode.

Enter the WEP key in hexidecimal format. This will be 10 or 26-characters depending on the level of encryption. You might try disabling WEP initially to see if that's the problem.

Check the Troubleshooting section of the WiFi Guide for more possibilities.
