storing wi-fi password in N80
      #347561 - Sun May 13 2007 04:17 PM

Does anyone know how you can store and recall Wi-fi network password in a Nokia N80? Currently have to type in 16 digit password every time I want to access my home wireless network but don't want the network unprotected. Any suggestions?

Try this, if you are using WPA

It's not obvious, but there is a place for this password. Go into 'Tools | Settings | Connection | Access points'.

'Edit' your Wi-Fi access point name (e.g. "Steve's home"), scroll down and select the dialog line marked 'WLAN security setting'.

In the following dialog, change 'WPA mode' to 'Pre-shared key' and you'll see a different second line appear, with the latter name. Use it to type in your WPA password and then 'Back' out of all the dialogs back to Settings.

Now try going online using your Wi-Fi network again. No password asked for!
