Troubleshooting WLan and Wep Security

Problems with Wep security??
If you encounter these, check that the Wep Keys have been entered in the correct format (ASCII vs. HEX) and have the right number of characters. ASCII WEP keys are also case sensitive; check that you have not confused any upper or lower case letters in the key. Incorrect WEP keys may cause a situation where Nokia device is able to associate with a WLAN network but no data can be transferred.
Also remember to check that the WEP authentication mode is correct. In the access point it may be called, for example, "WEP authentication", "shared-key authentication" or "Wi-Fi security mode".
Poor signal quality:
To check the signal quality of your WLAN connection, select Menu > Connect. > Conn. mgr. > Act. data conn. > Options > Details. If the signal quality is weak or even moderate, you may encounter connection problems. Try again nearer the access point.
Wrong security mode:
It is possible that you have configured the security mode correctly, but it may not be the right mode. To check the security mode that the network uses, select Menu > Connect. > Conn. mgr. > Act. data conn. > Options > Details.
Problems with the WPA/WPA2 or 802.1x security mode:
If you encounter these, check the following:
Check that the WPA mode is the right one (preshared key or EAP).
Check the pre-shared key.
Check that all EAP types that are not needed are disabled.
Check that EAP type settings are correct (passwords, user names, certificates, etc.).
