Go to Menu > Tools > Settings > Connection > Access points. Start to create a new one, and it gives you the option to change the security settings

What router are you using, you can change the wep key to something like seeujimmy so you don't have to be entering 20 odd digits every time you want to connect a wireless device..

Silver, with a a black strip on the front like this one?



Its the 2247. Type 192.168.1.254 into the website address bar, and then go into the router wireless settings, and change the WEP there.

seeujimmy

yea dave thats the one . not well up on this any chanc of it in lay mans terms ?

Davy

Click 'wireless', and then make note of or change your WEP. Then click save. and the new wep will be saved. This new code will be what you enter into your phone

hi Dave tried to replace the 26 digits but keep getting this

Error
WEP key format Error: Enter exactly 26 hexadecimal digits (eg. 12345678901234567890ABCDEF). Do not use 0x in front.

Have you tried WPA security instead of WEP ?its more secure and you can use shorter passwords ?

I'd say he bought it abroad, azerty keyboards are French apparently. There's nothing wrong with it
