E63: the Wifi connectivity problem

Hi there!

 

I have a Nokia E-63 phone and i am finding problems while trying to connect it to my home Wifi.

 

Just to make my problem clear, here is some info about my connection:

The wireless configuration is as shown here Wireless info.

 

The ISP is Airtel.

 

It uses WPA/WPA2 Enterprise, PEAP, and MSCHAPv2 for authentication.

So i chose the folowing:

Security Mode: WPA/WPA2

EAP Plugin settings:

EAP-PEAP

Certificate: thawte premium server CA

MSCHAPv2 authentication

 

Selected "Yes" in prompt-password field.

 

Now when i connect, i get the error:

WLAN:

EAP-PEAP authentication failed.

 

As I am not getting to even prompt password thing, i guess there is something wrong with the certificates thing.

 

I have configured everythig as it was there in numerous threaads out here but still no luck. I tried all certificates listed here, still problem persists.

 

I have seen logs at my modem, it says EAP-Request and then EAP failure whenever i try to connect.

 

Can someone help me out plzz.. this thing is making me crazy..

Re: E63: the Wifi connectivity problem

You better use WPA/WPA2 personal with a pre-shared key.

if you can notice, the Authentication type in the "Interface-setup" is disabled.

Probably they did so for extra security.

 

So for pre-shared key based setup, i may need a different firmaware, form god knows where.

 

But that doesnt seem like "using a bulldozer to kill an ant", it must be possible right?

I am currently connected from my laptop using that connection only.

 

Are there some logs where i could see what went wrong?

Re: E63: the Wifi connectivity problem

There has to be a way to change to WPA personal in the router settings. Check other options like Wireless, Advanced Setup and Access Management. If you use EAP-PEAP, raise priority and disable others.

I got my problem solved, all i needed to do was move the certificate for my ISP to the mobile phone, i did that via bluetooth, save the certificate, and it worked :smileyvery-happy:.
