Title: cell phone connection to wi-fi
Post by: sprink268 on May 29, 2011, 10:16:21 AM

I apologize beforehand, but I am almost completely computer illiterate as far as this type of thing goes.  I have new cell phones, an Iphone 3Gs and a Motorola Atrix, and cannot get either of them to connect to the DIR-655.  Both of the phones recognize the wi-fi signal but I cannot get either of them to hook up.  Before I go changing passwords and such, is there anything I am missing or need to do differently?

What wireless modes do the phones support. Most phones support G modes.
Try changing the routers wireless modes from mixed to single mode G with out any security to test.
Once you can connect, set security to WPA or WPA2 with auto cipher or AES. Check the phones Mfr for cipher support to be sure.
