Title: Issue with setting up WEP Key for Guest Zone
Post by: Chetyre on January 16, 2013, 09:13:15 PM

When I set up the WEP key on guest zone for my NDS, I kept on getting Mismatching Key on my laptop. So I made sure that the key matches that i copied from my note pad, which it is and I'm still getting the same problem again.

NDS = Nintendo?

As a test set up WPA and test to make sure LAPTOP can connect?

What FW version is currently loaded?

Has a factory reset been performed?
Was the FW recently updated?

What browser are you using?
Try Opera or FF? If IE 8 or 9, set compatibility mode and test again.

I tried to reproduce this on my 857:
 
I enabled the 2.4Ghz Guest Zone.
Left the default guest zone name.
Left routing between zones unchecked.
Security mode: WEP
WEP Key Length : 64 bit
Authentication : BOTH
WEP Key 1: I used 0987654321

Selected Save Settings and Rebooted.

I was able to connect using the same Mac Book Pro laptop im using now to write this and the LT connected correctly with out any issues.

You could try this,
Factory reset the router, either downgrade to v1.02 or re-send the v1.03 FW file. After sending and the router reboots. Do one more factory reset. USE IE For this.

Go directly to Guest Zone and set up the 2.4Ghz Zone as I listed in my post and see what the result is.

If it still fails here then this unit needs to be RMAd.
