    Hi,

    I have a Belkin wifi router that works well with the laptop and a couple of mobile phones but i recnetly tried to connect a psp, x box and an iphone without success. They all see the network fine and ask for the network key but will not connect to the network-iphone showed 'unable to connect' can't just remember what other error messaged were. Any ideas?

    Not too sure - on lapttop it says 'WPA2-PSK'.....is that what you mean? (sorry-just connected laptop&phones easily enough nd never really questioned security types etc.)

    It sounds like you'll need to try changing the security type on the wireless router until you find one that works for everything. Sometimes devices just don't all get on together. Maybe start off with WPA & then try WPA2 (AES & TKIP) until you have everything working. Let us know how you get on.

    There's some wireless security bedtime reading here
