I have just been given my dads Telecom Apache, and I have been trying to connect it to my Wi-Fi network at home. But after weeks of trying I have found out what has been going wrong. It says "Cannot log on to the wireless network. This network requires a personal certificate to postitively identify you."

There is a number of root certificates on the phone, one issued by my dads work server/network. What I want to know is how can I give/make myself a certificate so I can connect to my Wi-Fi network?.

Any help would be most appreciated.

Thanks Finn

If you are just connecting to your home network you will not need a certificate, I never did.

If you don't have the manual here is the link
Page 85 onwards is the wireless part.

If you are taking over the phone maybe best to do a factory reset Page 69
Hold both soft keys (left and right - keys) and then push the stylus in the reset slot.

After the hard reset if you still have problems then check the wireless security configuration on the router - perhaps it's using a type of WPA that needs certificates - do you remember how was this router configured?

as you have wireless security enabled on the wireless modem you need to match the settings on the apache. goto settings, connections, network cards, add "new" manually dont use the auto as it doesnt always work that well, enter the network name, this must be the same as the network name broadcast, follow the wizard, select the required authenication, again it must match the settings from your modem either open / shared etc. uncheck the key automactically and enter the sercurity code to match and away you go

My Network Settings are:

SSID: Rapaki
Allowed Client Type: WPA/WPA2 Only
Cipher suite: TKIP+AES

But i dont know which EAP type to use.
PEAP or Smart Card Certificate?

Here and some pictures to show what i have done.

First of all, BMP files are bleh for putting on the net. Also this forum seems to use nonstandard software so bbcode doesnt work.

Anyway, on with the problem.
For home you should be using WPA-PSK. This is setup in the router with a password. Then on your Apache you select WPA-PSK and enter in this password.

You cant have the key automatically provided because you dont have a certificate or a radius server etc (i assume).

Ok thanks I will remeber that for next time, and ok I would try out the settings as you suggested but I just did a hard reset on it, and I think the screen is broken because when it boots up for the first time, you know how it askes you to align the screen, I do that and it just keeps on going. I did it for about 10mins before I gave up, so I cant quit it or anything so im stuck with a phone that cant boot up now.

I may just give the phone back to my dad and buy one off trademe because i'm not going to pay $300 or something like that to get thescreen fixed.

Any more ideas would be most appreciated though.

Cheers Finnaldineo.
