Hi All,

Just got my new HTC HD2 from Virgin, however I cannot for the life of me seem to connect it to my home WiFi (I've not tried it elsewhere yet).

I've still got my MDA Compact IV here with me and use the same settings as the HD2 and that connects first time no problems, but the HD2 isnt playing ball! :(

It sees my wireless network at home (full strength) and starts to connect then simply says "Available". No notification of incorrect wireless key etc...reported.

I have used my Compact IV side by side with the HD2 and no issues so I am puzzled as to what I need to do now :confused:

Any help would be appreciated.

Thank

if you are using wep, heres something to try.
routers can be set to three types of wep key
open
open or shared
shared
in my experience if you areset to the middle one, "open or shared" mobile devices can have trouble connecting.try setting it to just "shared"instead.
course it could just be my router but I have seen this behavior in three mobiles including my hd2.

Current router settings is WPA-PSK [TKIP]. I even tried turning off security and got nothing :( My router is Netgear WGR614v9 - it came with my Virgin broadband deal.

Current ROM version is 1.48.405.2 (71294) WWE and radio version 2.05.51.05.2

Its most annoying that the HD2 on the face of it seems like a really good handset but then I cant get the Wifi connected which most basic handsets have no issues with :mad:

Any other possible solutions?

I had this issue too, could see my home Wifi network, but the device would just say, "Incorrect Network Key". But it was correct!

I now have it working strangely by changing router Security Options to (WPA-PSK + WPA2-PSK)

Connects with no hesitation now! :D

"Incorrect Network Key" problem

Bro you made my day! I spent whole day to figure out a solution to the exact problem. I wish I had seen your reply before. When I changed my cable modem's setting as suggested and encryption to AES, it worked:D
Thanks again.
