iPod and WPA
I had a 63 character password on our router, and the iPod wouldn't connect to it. After exhaustively changing the router password to just the first 8 characters, then just the first 9 characters, just the first 10 characters, and so on, I discovered that the iPod didn't like that my password contained the letter combination "ql" within the string. That's lowercase Q followed by lowercase L. I changed the l to a d and now the iPod connects with the 63 character password without issue.
- Can someone see if they can reproduce that with their router, iPod, and a similar style password?
I'm wondering if I stumbled onto a very obscure Apple bug.
Thanks
I'm pretty sure it's just a WPA thing. I didn't have any WEP issues. I'm surprised to hear you're still using WEP. I believe that takes about 5 minutes to crack these days. I know a guy at work that makes a past time of cracking WEP network passwords.
worked for me
I tried changing my password (WEP ASCII, not 63 characters long), but my iphone was able to handle a password with an ql in it.
