Hey guys,

has anyone else experienced problems when using a wireless access point that uses WPA-PSK for encryption?

Every single time i connect to my router which uses WPA-PSK (AES/TKIP), my P990 crashes with several messages popping up and then the bottom "taskbar" is vanished...other times it gets worse and the whole phone reboots to "improve performance".

Swithing my router to WEP fixes the problem with my P990i but seeing as WEP is not secure i wouldn't want to have my network exposed using that level of encryption.

I am on the latest firmware and have flashed it again just to make sure my phone is not messed up, but no luck.

Nope, wpa-psk works fine on mine too, running R6D23 firmware.

I've never had a problem with WIFI at all with my P990, all the way from the oldest firmwares to now R6E28

thanks for the replies guys!

hmmm, i am wondering whats wrong with it then. I've re-flashed it once more and again same problem, i even did a format after the flash to clean everything but the issue persists.

It would be the router, i guess i would have to try with a friend's router that has WPA-PSK protection and see what happens then.

i'm not sure if anyone is interested but i found that changing the default password of the router to one of my own sorted out the problem. how weird is that??

Thanks for the tip! That is absolutely bizarre, should make no difference whatsoever but there you go
