Can't connect to Belkin router

[shed driver]

I've got a home network with a Belkin router connected to the PC, a wireless laptop, the Xbox and a media streaming device - all work seamlessly on wireless with WPA/WPA2-(personal) PSK security.

My HTC desire can see the network, but won't connect to it. It will however connect to my dad's network using the same setup but his router is made by Netgear. I can connect to open networks, yet when I disable security on my router the phone still won't connect.

Belkin say it's a phone problem, HTC say it's a router problem.

Any ideas?

you could try downgradingthe wireless security to WEP and see if the desire will connect then

I've changed it to open and it won't connect.

Have you previously enabled MAC address filtering and subsequently forgotten you'd done it?

MAC address filtering is set to DISABLED, I assume that this means it's off?

I've had the phone "forget" the network and then rescan it and entering the password again, still no connection. It's getting a bit frustrating.

Password for network?

Try taking that off - a completely open network, no password, nada. See what it does. You'll have to reset the phone again I should think.

Opening it up and removing all security should get around the need for a lease renewal and I'm wondering if it's that.

What wireless channel is your router on? Try changing that - just in case there's some interference.

I've tried it on an open network, and changed channels more often than my kids do!
I've also moved the cordless phones away from the router in case they are causing interference.

Can anything connect to it?

Laptop (Win XP and USB wireless card), Xbox, Wii and media storage hdd. Main PC is wired to the router, but sees Xbox, media storage etc and laptop.

Have you got an IP conflict somewhere?

Don't think so, how would I check?

Have tried flushing the DNS resolver cache?

I can't get the kids to flush the toilet - how would I do that!


Maybe it's just ferked. We know your phone works on other networks...... bit of a mystery!

Yeah, just annoying because I'd rather use the Wifi for data usage.
