Obtaining Address...

[lrr79]

Hello. I just bought the HTC Inspire and Im trying to connect to the wifi from my wireless router. (Belkin) When I enter the WEP key I keep getting the msg, Obtaining IP Address or Obtaining Address.


Status: Obtaining Address
Speed: 65Mbps
Channel 11
Signal Strength: Excellent
Security: WEP


I know for a fact that Im putting in the correct WEP. Im not sure what I need to do. Im not very computer savy so please dont use jargon that may be hard for me to understand. I basically need step by step instructions, if possible.

Thank you!!!!!

You will have to go into your routers settings then.

most routers have their own IP address, but normally in your address bar, you would put in 192.168.1.1 and you can access it from there. Double check that your Belkins Wireless WEP Keys are set up so you can input the correct key on your device. Usually found under WIRELESS > WIRELESS SECURITY.

Good luck.

I've had a few routers that will do this to my Inspire. Reboot the router and try again.
