Cannot Join a WPA2-Encrypted Network

Hello all,

I have the iPad Wi-Fi+3G. At work we have 2 wireless networks served by Cisco WAP4410N access points. One is encrypted with 128-bit WEP and the other is WPA2-Personal Mixed. Both are set to 802.11b/g/n, and they have different SSID's.

The iPad cannot connect to the WPA2 network, saying the password is incorrect, even though I have verified that I'm using the correct password. However, the iPad can connect to the WEP network.

I don't know what else about the WPA2 network that could cause this issue. It also happens when iPhones try to connect to it.

In contrast at home, I can connect to my WPA2-Personal network served by an Airport Extreme Dual-Band router.

Thanks.

MacBook Pro (2.4 GHz C2D) | Mac OS X (10.6.1) | iPhone 3G[S]

I am have the same issue with a different brand router. I can connect via WPA2 Personal via my MacBook Pro (that I'm typing this on), but cannot connect via my new iPad. I get an error saying that the password failed.

Any solutions, Apple?


First, Apple is not monitoring these forums for bug reports. This is primarily a user-to-user problem solving forum. Report your problem to Apple at http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipad.html with details. Since probably the majority of iPad users are using WPA2 without problem whatever problem you are having is likely specific to the model of router you have and the level of firmware it is running.

By the way, it's rather optimistic to be replying to a thread which is over 4 months old and has had no responses, even from the original poster who may have long since solved their problem.

If you want any useful advice here you should provide a lot more detail on what equipment you have and how it is configured, what iPad OS level you are running, etc.
