I have a very new and rather expensive router, with Wifi capabilities, 802.11b/g. I tried to connect my Sony Ericsson P990i on to it, through the wLAN options, however it always tells me, "unable to connect".

I tried disabling WEP on my router settings, but to no avail. Also I tried with the WEP key, but I haven't got a clue what it is, or what it's used for.

Any Ideas/help much appreciated.

Belkin 54 802.11B/G Router
Sony Ericsson P990i
WEP security enabled/disabled, no difference.

Welcome to Esato.You have to set up for wi-fi in your phone.I`ve got wi-fi and i`ve my p990i to connect to it.If you`ve got a secure connection on your router,you`ve got to enter the wep key in your phone,when you set up an account.

If your router is "open" "unsecured" your P990 as it comes out of the box should find it, it should show with a yellow star & connect easily, if it doesnt show the star then its th routr security setting you should look at rather than the phone.
I connect to several Belkin 54 routers no problem, P990 likes Belkin 54's

welcome to esato,

just sell your p990, before it drives your crazy.

If you didn't find the answer yet please explain what you did so far (regarding phone and router setup) and I will try to help.
Wifi is a fantastic feature. In combination with P990's brilliant screen and full browsing (downloading) support one gets a true PC functionality when it comes to internet experience. It would be sad if you don't use it.

Thanks Very Much to everyone for their help. I've managed to access it now, it was the WEP key that wasn't letting me go on. Thanks to all that helped!!

@ Busters
u must setup the preferred account, and specify the order in which the phone will lookup accounts to connect to the internet.
look under control panel -> connections -> internet accounts -> groups.
Always a good thing and a BIG advice: READ the documentation before
anything
