Axim X50v and WPA-PSK WiFi - What's the Secret?
Posted by Jason Dunn in "THOUGHT" @ 11:00 AM
Over my "WiFi lifetime", I've gone from having an open, unsecured network in my office, to a WEP 128-bit secured network. We know how "secure" that really is, so I wanted to move up to the next level and switch to WPA security. I activated it on my Belkin Pre-N router, selected a passkey, and was able to connect my laptop to the network without a fuss. When it came to my Axim X50v, I wasn't so lucky - first, there's no "zero config" pop-up like there is with WEP encryption. I went into the WiFi settings and selected WPA-PSK as the authentication type, TKIP as the data encryption type, and put in my network key. I clicked ok, then did a tap and hold on the network and selected connect. It tries to connect but never does - has anyone gotten WPA-PSK to work on their X50v? I'm using ROM A02.
