Unsuccessful in Wi-Fi

[ZPTH55]

I own a Linksys Wireless-B Router. I wanted to use my Clie TH-55 to access the internet but to no avail. My clie managed to scan and detect the router, but it just didn't want to connect it.http://www.1src.com/forums/newthread.php?do=newthread&f=73# There was an timeout error pop up (0x1212).

TIA

Check all your settings and see if there is a firmware update that can be applied to the router.
I've read of this happening before.

ZPTH55,

Create a profile
Enter the WEP key on the settings (this will make the TH55 recognize the linksys B)
You're set.

Let me know how it goes.

I have a Linksys Wireless-G router and it works fine with it. However, it does cut out from time to time and I needed to reconfigure the settings again. I can't figure out why it happens periodically. I did notice this often occurred when I left the IP and DNS checked as automatic detection.

I have done the following:

1) enter my WEP key
2) enter advanced setup and entered all IP and DNS addresses
3) disabled power save mode
4) switched it from open system to shared KEY

It hasn't conked out ever since I did it but then I've only been experimenting with it for a week now.

Other "things" that share the 2.4 Ghz carrier frequency of your wi-fi access point can knock your connection off the air. Two prevalent ones are: 1) cordless phones, and 2) microwave ovens! Changing access point location and channels can sometimes help. ;)

Uh... that makes sense (why didn't I think of that?). I guess I should consider moving my cordless phone elsewhere... My router sits right above it on the shelf... :rolleyes:

What's WEP, btw? And how do I set it up? Thanks for the help! At the moment I couldn't try all the above suggestions because I'm at the office. Will report it as soon as I'm at home..

Thanks a bunch

After following Grandizer's advice; item no. 2 & 3 only though the bummer side is I'm having a dynamic IP, I managed to connect to my router.
Now, I'm stuck in configuring the router. The setup address (http://192.168.1.1) can't be connected. Supposedly, I managed to connect to the setup address,I'm not sure which of these two configurations shall I follow; DHCP or PPPoE.
FYI, I'm running MAc OS X which I connect to the internet using the PPPoE.

WEP is an encryption algorithm. Your router (if built in this century) should offer it. You can enable it and generate encryption keys (recommend 128 bit) to enter in your router/access point and each attaching device (i.e. PDA, wireless card). Your backend IP address range should be 192.168.0.x!
