My IPAQ won't connect to my wireless network

**ljgwtg** · 05-08-2008, 03:31 AM

Hi,
We just bought an IPAQ 211. We can connect out to the web from a local hotspot (not password protected), but can't connect to our home network. We have a linksys wrt54gx4 wireless router running in mixed mode. We are using WPA-PSK security. The four PCs connect just fine, but the IPAQ never gets past "connecting". Even tried taking the security off, and trying it without a password. No luck.

We've been on tech support with HP and with Linksys, but have had no luck.

Hope you can help.

Thanks

I have an update...I upgraded the firmware on the router, and now the IPAQ can connect to my home network.

Hope this helps someone else.

Interesting. I've never used the IPAQ, so I was just watching this to see if someone else came up with something.

did the solution of upgrading Firmware of the wireless router solve the problem ??

Sounds like that would be a yes, unless I flunked reading comprehension.
