I have a hidden wifi network at home.... i did manualy add at 'others' and so insert the password (WEP)... It says, unable to connect to the selected network... why?

if not mistaken it can only connect via WPA, i had this problem too with my ipod touch

I've successfully connect to my hidden wifi at home using WEP with no prob. BTW I use static IP.

have you try logging into the wifi with the AP unhidden?

i have tried a hidden wep before as well. it works and no issues.

well, at home, while unhide, i can connect. But at other place like office, its fail... same goes while unhide is connectable... Static IP? will try...

make sure the name and WEP you entered is exactly the same. they are case sensitive. if you get it right, it should appear under the network list with a tick next to the name of the AP you are connected.

For further settings, tap on the blue arrow on the right. That;s where you can set the IP address and type.

i have another notebook which i am able to connect to the network by manually add.... but not iphone....

my iphone too hv problem with public wifi.

I can use it with my wifi at home but when was in public, can detect wifi, selected

but can't online..

why? pls help!!!!

are you sure that signal you saw is not locked? some signal showing like its free and available but it actually not... try to connect em with other device....

For a normal free wifi area like coffee bean, sbucks, etc...etc... no prob at all....

where do u mean in public? starbucks? or other ppl's wifi :lol

hw is ur wifi connc? better?

memang d wifi at my house tu overprotected.... i refreshed whole router system and make it normal hidden and now wolla, can join thru "others".... Tried it at my office and confirm that there is no problem connecting to a hidden wifi... the only thing is, manually insert network name and password (very2 case sensitive).... Thanks guys...
