    WEP is a more secure standard. If you take the trouble to switch all your computers to WEP, your network will be somewhat more secure. That may or may not matter, depending on where you live and how close your neighbors are. But it will solve your BlackBerry connection problem.

    I can't help you set up your network, but it may be as simple as disconnecting the computers, letting the router find them, and selecting WEP is the protocol. Some routers also let you save the configuration to a USB stick and add additional computers to the network simply by putting the stick in a USB port and running the configuration program that the router puts on the stick.

    No reason to change the network. WPA/WPA2 works fine, I also setup MAC control list as well. if someone is able to login figuring my WPA password then they also need a MAC address on my allow list.

    I did have an issue after upgrading my OS on my BOLD, I had to remove the network profile on my phone and then readd, but it did work for me.

    WPA is more secure than WEP. I use WPA with my 8320 with no problems.

    Not true at all. WPA is way more secure than WEP.

    A simple Google search easily confirms you are both correct. Thank you for correcting my erroneous post.

    You say your network is not detected, are you sure your router is broadcasting the SSID? Have you tried to manually add your network?

    yes, my SSID is the same as my router name. or does it have to be different? and yes i have tried to manuely add it too, still didnt work beacuse it dosent give me an option to do WPA. but than i tried to use PSK and still didnt work.

    PSK is what you should be able to use. If you cannot find your network by scanning for it, and you cannot manually add it, either your router is not broadcasting or the wireless on your phone is not working correctly.

    I would try to shut off the security on the router, then try to connect from your BB. If you are able to connect then turn the security back on and then try again to connect with your BB.

    Is the router an "N" router? I believe that BlackBerry has a problem connecting with that band.

    okay, just did that, once i turned security off, i was able to find the network. but once i wanted to connect it said the error W0010 or somthing like that.

    That is an N router, you can change that to use just G. I would try to reboot your router and then try to connect.

    I would switch to wireless G if you are connecting a laptop or a desktop wirelessly, then try again.
