Using Home Wireless Network with X2

I have trouble connecting to my home network.  I can get to internet via desktop (wired) and laptop (wireless).  Router broadcasts SSID with WPA2-PSK(AES) security.    WiFi on phones finds network, but when I enter long password and connect, it repeatedly tries to authenticate, then disconnects.  I've reviewed PW several times.

Is there a way to enter PW from a file or via copy and paste.  I did this with laptop and it was very easy.

I next tried to connect using WPS method and associated PIN.  This worked, but I could no longer access Internet from Desktop and Laptop.  Reloading router settings (fortunately I save them before playing around) restored desktop/laptop, but phone no longer works.   Help?

i have the same issue with wpa-tkip encryption, won't authenticate, with a linksys wrt54g wired/wireless router and use wep. most say not as safe but i've used wep for years for banking/credit cards/online purchases.

 

i don't use wi-fi at home, so i could configure wpa for added wireless security but choose not to as it would be a pita to change all pc/laptops.

Hi bingoRon,

 

I am sorry to learn that you are not able to connect all your devices at the same time. As your post indicates that you are able to connect your wireless phone using WPS and PIN, I would recommend using this method and then changing the security settings on your computers to match those of your phone in order to have all devices connected..
