WN2000RPT :: Cannot enter PSK Key
Hi
I've started with the installation of my WN2000RPT to extend my WLAN. I use a WPA/WPA2-PSK encryption. The Netgear does find the network but it seems that the passkey is no accepted - nothing happens... When I configure the WLAN for no encryption, to connection could be established.
I would like to have an encrypted network, so what would be the best way to get it working?
Thanks
Norbert

Re: WN2000RPT :: Cannot enter PSK Key
Did you try using any of WPA,WPA2, and WPA+WPA2?

I tried different configuration, and none was working. Except the unsecured network.
Are there limitations with secured networks?

Re: WN2000RPT :: Cannot enter PSK Key
very common error with all wn2000rpt
u will have to manually enter all the setings of your router
when u run the setup wizard
it scanns and tells the network available
in place of selecting urs
click manually enter or manually input which is the last choice
then enter the name as ur router's wireless is . make sure that its case sensitive and has to be exactly the same
tehn enter the security type , u can come to know the security type from the very screen where u get stuck, where u cannot proceed after entering ur passphrase or key
see which security type u have, then the last is enter the passphrase in the manual input method and do the setup
good to go

Re: WN2000RPT :: Cannot enter PSK Key
Manual doesnt do much when OP tried and only unsecure setup works.
Providing passphrase upong finding the SSID to connected or manually give SSID and encryption is no different

Re: WN2000RPT :: Cannot enter PSK Key
idexpired is right...WN2000RPT has an issue sometimes where is scans for network, ask u to enter the key but the setup wizard doesn't progress to the next step it just freezes there. The only way around is to enter the settings manually like told by idexpired.

Re: WN2000RPT :: Cannot enter PSK Key
Yeah, got it to work with entering the data manually. Thanks for this advice!!!
BUT, there is still an issue that there is no "Internet Connection": http://forum1.netgear.com/showthread.php?t=68168
