Re: Problems with Axim x50v and WIFI

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

In my opinion, either you don't have your WEP key defined properly, or you
are doing MAC filtering and forgot to define your MAC address of the Axim at
the Router.

Try to disable WEP and MAC filtering in the router temporarily and see if
you connect. Then add them one by one (first MAC and then WEP) and see when
you stop connecting. That's the one you need to fix.
