[olpc-help] WIFI WEP Key access issue

[CrunchyDoodle]

You may be having trouble with your XO machines not connecting to your new D-Link wireless router; however, your conclusions are not backed up by the fact that many people report success with both WEP and WPA security.

I had no problem at all with my old Buffalo wireless router using 128-bit WEP with an ASCII password with XO machines and the orginal 650 XO build. As noted in my posting about my new D-Link wireless router and access points, the 653 XO build will connect with WPA2 when the D-Link DIR-655 router has the most recent firmware. Is that the one you have?

Bye.      [Cool]

I set up the wireless net and was so exited about using the xo that I noticed immediately from the xo screen that my net was not secure - no little lock icon.  So I went back to the D-Link, secured it with Auto(WPA or WPA2), set password, went back to the xo and had no access to the web.  Reset router to WPA only - no go.  Reset router to WEP - no go.  Reset router to unsecured - web accessed.  Apparently, the xo does not do encryption - even though an encryption input window pops up when you try to access a secure net.  I hope there is a fix real soon.   I can't have a wide open wireless network - I live in a 3+ million people city.
