[IBWiFi] Re: Problem inputting the KEY Number

 

Jerry

A couple of times when I have encountered this problem on other folks' computers, it is because they have an older operating system that has not been updated for the later WiFi security encryption.

For example, my Travel Buddy uses an old HP laptop running Win XP and it has not been updated like forever (don't ask why!). It will not do WPA or WPA personal, but will do WEP.

That may be your problem.
