..no, I mean mixed authentication mode. So you can connect with both wpa and wpa2 if you want. For each of those, there's an encryption scheme and a different handshake - possibly something goes wrong here that the WM device "rescues" the right way. If that's not it, check the pass and username, domain and certificates (and I will cry, because I was sure you could confirm a bug for me).

Nipsen,
You may be correct about this mixed mode thing. My IT support told me that the excryption method is TKIP. Howveer my laptop shows it is AES. Looks like it gets changed along the way. The guy who supports this network will be in on MOnday. more info then.
Does this mean that our network is configured to TKIP+AES and gets switched? If so, why can't I connect to the way it is finally (AES.) Does it have to go from TKIP to AES?
What should I do now? Contact SE suppport and ask them to check if its a bug? Could this be a bug in the firmware? I'm using GW1.
Anyone else using their P1i on a TKIP+AES network successfully? Which version of firmware are you guys on?
Thanks

I'm not sure. But if you're logging on with wpa, maybe the router expects tkip. And the p1 probably wants to use aes, since the network is capable of that. So, some sort of miscommunication, possibly. I tried figuring it out with another AP, but ended up just turning off the mixed mode..
Have you tried putting in the settings manually, and choosing wpa professional, and so on, btw..?
...And if you can, I think you should call SE and ask them to check if there's a problem.

Nipsen,
I don't get WPA Professional. Are you talking about WPA Enterprise. That seems to ask for a username or a username/pwd.
On Monday the firewall and network guy who can trace the connection and see how far it made it will be coming to office and I'll try to figure out whats goin on with him.
THanks and I'll let you know how it goes.

Nipsen, et all,
My IT support person verified my connection settings as ok. Looks like we are using WPA2 - PSK. However while trying to connect, I keep getting a Connection Failed error.
The network person sees my phone trying to hit the network using the MAC address. But he says it seems like nothing else is being sent by the phone i.e. the encryption method, the security, the SSID. He can't see anything else being sent by the phone. When he tries to send some packets to my phone he gets no response.
Now, my phone works at home with my wireless router using a WEP key.
Any ideas why this is not working? How can I fix this? Im runnig the latest generic world firmware.
Thanks in advance

..hm. That's interesting. See, on 802.11i networks, wpa2 automatically means using aes (with a psk). So even if both the AP and the phone supports the right modes, it could be a conflict because of the way it's initiated. I.e., that the p1 strictly supports the 802.11i authentication standards, but breaks down because the AP expects some way to handle the additional EAP modes - definitively something SE should take a look at.. But I suspect they'll argue that it's the Access point that doesn't conform to standard - to keep in line with their technically correct, but utterly unhelpful answers.
Still. Great. I think we figured out the problem. It's been bugging me for ages.. I have this 802.11n AP with 802.11i standard, so I didn't notice that one - just had problems when I ran mixed mode (which is another "non- standard" mode using extended EAP. And I thought it had to be something else when it didn't work elsewhere with those specific settings. Thank you... Er.. sorry it's not much help, though..

Nipsen,
thanks. But i still don't get it. apparently the ssid etc.. isnt even being sent to the AP. We hit the AP but it doesn't know anything else except that someone with this MAC tried to connect. Also, the APregisters a very very low signal (-128 db) even though the p1i shows be all bars as full.
my support person will run some tests end of this week. we'll try no security, then wep, then wpa aes then the rest and i'll try to identify the issue.
thanks.

m600,
That won't work on any smart phone, as far as I'm aware. My school uses the same.

That might be because the modem have some routine or other in hardware that waits passively for whatever it is you've registered on the phone. ..power- saving thing.
..Again, this might be because of some "extended standard" used/anticipated by the Wi-Fi Alliance before 802.11i. And therefore used on your router.

Great. Tell us how it goes.
