Playbook wifi startup snafu
good day,
I am curious whether or not someone has a soultion to this issue:
I'm in the Playbook startup mode and I'm trying to establish the wifi connection. As I enter my password the "connect" button only becomes available when the fifth character of the password is entered. However, my internet password is 8 characters in length ?
- Changing the wireless router's password to a 5-character password doesn't seem like the most customer-friendly solution.
Has anyone else encountered this issue? Thank you for your time. - 01-24-2012, 08:40 AM #2
Can't you continue typing your password without using enter after the 5th character? Not sure I get what you are saying.
BTW my password/key is 14 characters long.Last edited by kbz1960; 01-24-2012 at 08:43 AM. Reason: add

I'll clarify my original post. As I enter the 8 characters of my password, the only time that the connect key is an option is after the fifth character is pressed.
Upon furhter experimenting, the connect key becomes available when a 13th character is entered in the password field. 14 characters and beyond - no connect key.
According to the Blackberry tech support phone rep.... since I have a WEP encrypted internet, the password has to be 5 or 13 characters long.
Why is that my other wireless devices in the home don't need a 5 or 13 character long password in order to connect to wifi ?
