WiFi Setup

I have been pulling my hair out trying to get the WiFi to work on a 10.5 V1, a 10.5 V2, and a wireless 3.8 touch screen, all to no avail. I enter the SSID, the encryption (none/64/128), and the password if encrypted, and I never get a signal or a DHCP-issued IP address. I've tried no encryption, WEP 64, and WEP 128. I've tried B only, B/G, and B/G/N. The WAPs I have tried are on the hardware compatibility list (Linksys WAP4400N, WAP4410N). I have a lot of other equipment, none of which have a problem. I've tried to find the manuals but have not had any luck. What am I missing?

Maybe try a different SSID name. I've seen bugs in wireless nets with odd named SSIDs, WEP passwords. Make sure the router/access points are broadcasting the SSID on the right B or G network. Can other B or G clients connect, such as notebook, iphone etc.?

if using wep the password produces a key which is used not the password

Thanks. I am using the hex key that is generated from the password and other devices are able to connect, including a Windows PC, a Mac, and an iPad.

To provide more background, There are three WAPs in all, two WAP4400N devices and one WAP4410N, all on different channels. Two of the three are b/g/n using WPA. The third is the one I am using for Control4 as described above.

Had the same problem with my 10.5. The SSID is case sensitive and needs to be identical to your router. To fix mine I just had to capitalize the first letter of the SSID.
