Hi, sorry this may be something simple, but i'm not too good with networking. Just got a N8 but am not able to connect to my router. Had same problem with N95 but no problems with x 2 ipods and x2 laptops. No problems connecting N95 to other wifi networks.
Connection is through a sonicwall- firewall which can have ethernet cable to usual network-lan port and a public network through opt.zone port.
Router uses WPA/A2 encription and does have a couple of numbers (?did read somewhere that nokia may have issues with it)
I can see my router SSID on N8 and when enter the preshared wep key, says" connection failed, check password "
Excuse me for not providing more technical details but will gladly supply it if you tell me where to look and for what.-Yhis will do for starters.
Any hep will be greatly appreciated 
cheers

Found the answer!!!
After going through heaps of forums...seems like lot of people have this problem connecting to routers with Nokia phones, tried lots of options..like manually adding the router to phone, changing passwords, changing connection priority  etc..etc without much help ..
Simple solution..worked by changing security mode from "auto WPA/WPA2 to WPA only and able to connect. Thought N8 supported WPA2. Maybe this could be help to someone
cheers and have a happy holidays Wink
