Orbi cannot connect Old Windows Mobile 6.1 device to WiFi, Only to Guest Network
I have now had this Orbi and 1 satellite installed for 1 week and I seem to have only 1 issue that I had not had with old router. I have a Palm TreoPro that cannot connect to WiFi router, it will onl...
I know it is an older device but I am using the exact same passphase and wpa2-tkip like I was with old router. My other devices saw the network fine just the TreoPro does not see main network even. Even my PSP 1000 sees the network fine and that had troubles in past.
Ok, but did you try my suggestion of temporarily changing security to None and see if the Treo sees the main Orbi WiFi network?
Or are you also using wpa2-tkip on your Orbi guest network that the Treo can see?
Sorry should have been clear that I have the guest network setup with wep2-TKIP just with a much shorter passphase. And I meant that the old router was using exact same passphase and wep2 protection. Just odd how treopro does not even see the main network, only guest
OK. Thanks.
I have an older 802.11b device that will work with Orbi if I manually enter the SSID and passphrase, but the device does not appear in the Orbi list of attached devices, nor in my router's list of devices. The device works though.
Sometimes you just need to replace old gear.
