WPA problem

Hey all

 

So this is my first time posting here but i've used the forums to help solve a lot of problems. So here is my issue, i just got my storm 2 today (yay!) and i can't connect to my school's wireless network because the WPA key is 64 hex digits and the phone maxes out at 63 for some odd reason. Also there is another network on campus that uses a CISCO ASA Vpn client and there isn't an option for the ASA client on my phone so im not sure were to go from here. HELP!!

 

Thanks,

Chris

Re: WPA problem

I believe that the max number of digits in a WPA key is 63. This is based on some quick internet research. Are you sure about your school's 64 digit key length? That's a lot of alpha-numerics to write down or enter and I know I would make a mistake somewhere around the 10th digit!

Re: WPA problem

Yea i've used the same 64 digit code on my laptop to connect to the internet, and yea i always tripple check, its because its a WPA-TKIP but the storm 2 only has a generic PSK setting, guess ill deal with 3g at school, wifi at home.
