You do not need to use an Equivalent Network Password with DirecTV. Use your normal wireless password
Make sure that the name of your wireless network.......
Contains no special characters like an apostrophe, dollar sign, asterisk, etc.
Limit the wireless network name to only lower case letters and numbers
No spaces in the wireless network name
Limit of 20 characters in the wireless network name
Example:
twhargan's wireless network......will never connect to DirecTV
twharganwireless.....will
Use WPA/WPA2 Personal or WPA2 Personal Security
An 8 character password will work, 12 might work.
No spaces in the password or special characters
A good suggestion i think would be to set the main wireless network to whatever password you want, but create a guest network with a shorter password for the direct tv. However if the direct tv receiver is one of those advanced ones with home networking or DLNA then, the guest network might not be the best solutiion, because it doesn't give guests acess to the main network
Thanks for your help. Airport name must also be minimum 8 characters. Change name, solfed problem. Thanks for your help.
Airport name must also be minimum 8 characters
Not here....mine is right at 20 characters. But, glad that you got this solved.
I have a direct TV wireless network adaptor. It will only take 32 character passwords. It will not accept apple express password. Can I change express equivalent network password to 32 characters or less.
