WEP Wi-Fi issue - Sony

Join now - be part of our community!

Hey guys I have a big problem: I am at my friend, he has a router secured with WEP, I connected to it but it says Limited Connectivity and I can't access the internet. I happened everytime whenI connect to a WEP router. The problem is, that only his dad knows the admin password for router settings, so we can't change the security to WPA or Open. I have no wi-fi at home. Please help me make WEP Wi-Fi work!

I have WEP wifi at work and it worked just fine, make sure you have the correct password

you can try this

https://market.android.com/details?id=org.marcus905.wifi.ace&feature=search_result

or look for other similar apps on the market

Ok thanks I will try that and... by the way, how can I install apps from android market via USB? I have no internet connection on my Arc but I logged in to gmail at a time so I have it in list on android market.

About the password: I'm using the same password that he uses on his LG GT505 and it's working on his phone.

you will have to download the Apps (APK) to your computer from

either

or

http://www.freeandroidware.com/

or

http://www.androiddownloadz.com/

then mount your phone to your computer, I suggest ou put all the apps in one folder and call it APK, then transfer it to your SD card

Thanks I just needed a source of .apk files I'm trying now

Ok so what should I configure?

but this File Manager app must be install from the market before you can install other apps

https://market.android.com/details?id=org.openintents.filemanager&feature=search_result

go to Settings -> applications -> make sure Unknown sources is selected

once you do that, open OI File Manager, go to your SD card -> APK -> tap on one of the apps and tap on install, repeat the process with the rest

Ummm... it's not the first time I install apps Just tell me now what do I have to configure in this app?

let me know if you need more help

I would just try the password again w/o this app, and if it doesnt look for the network and enter the WEP key at the bottom
