    After changing the network key I can no longer access the WLAN, why?


    Hello,

    for security reasons I have changed the name of the WLAN radio network and the password of the network key on my FritzBox 7590
    And although I saved all changes in the FritzBox program, I can only access the WLAN with the old network key. What could be the reason for this?

    Note:

    With me all "fixed" devices are connected via LAN. So the repeaters and my PC (shown in the appendix with a picture). They still run under the old SSID, although I changed that. Only in the WLAN, e.g. on my mobile phone, the new SSID is displayed. But with all of them only the old network key works, although I changed that, too...

    Is there something I don't understand?
    I'd love it if someone would explain it to me. Thanks!

    LG

    N80: WLAN problem: "Define access pts. for secure WLAN networks [...]"

    Nokia N80 (black)

    Firmware: 3.0617.0.6

    I have problems getting on the WLAN. Here is a step-by-step description of what I do:

    First:

    1) "Connect." -> "Conn. mgr" -> "Availab. WLAN"

    2) Mark "HQ" WLAN

    3) "Options" -> "Define access point"

    4) Answer "Yes" to "Define internet access point for WLAN network "HQ"?

    5) Get the message: "Define access pts. for secure WLAN networks in 'Access points' in conn. settings."

    Then:

    6) "Tools" -> "Settings" -> "Connection" -> "Access points"

    7) "Options" -> "New access point" -> "Use default settings"

    8) Write "HQ" in the "Connection name" field.

    9) "Data bearer": "Wireless LAN"

    10) "WLAN netw. name": "HQ"

    11) "Network status": "Public"

    12) "WLAN netw. mode": "Infrastructure"

    13) "WLAN security mode": "WPA/WPA2" (the WLAN is using "WPA-PSK")

    14) "WLAN securoty settings" sub-menu:

    - "WPA mode": "Pre-shared key"

    - Pre-shared key": the correct one (verified with laptop connection)

    - "TKIP encryption": I have tried both "Allowed" and "Not allowed".

    15) Homepage: "None".

    When I go back and go through steps 1-5 again, I get the exact same message.

    What am I doing wrong? Can someone give please me a _really_ detailed step-by-step guide for how to do this?

    I have been able to use gcalsync (www.gcalsync.com) with the same "HQ" WLAN, but then it is gcalsync that asks for SSID and key. So: The WLAN works, I just don't understand how to set it up.

    I will be very, very grateful if someone can help me with this. Thank you.

    Can`t delete WLAN Networks (Nokia E52)

    Hello! I tried to connect to a wlan network (Name) and entered a wrong wep key. After i found out how to change the wep key i realised that i had more networks (Name01, Name02). I still can`t connect to my initial network as the wep key is still incorrect
    but i can connect to 01 and 02. I would like to delete Name and Name01 networks from my list. How can i do that? I couldn`t delete them from Menu - Ctrl. panel - Connectivity - WLAN wiz.

    My phone is an E52, thanks!

    After changing the network key I can no longer access the WLAN, why?

    Changing encryption key question

    Would changing the encryption key mean that all current wireless devices would need the new password?

    or would they still get instant access?

    im attempting to throw a freeloader off our network.

    our Thomson tg582 won't let me uncheck him off the WLAN option, or any other device for that matter, hence why im changing the password.
