Need help setting WIFI phone to wireless network

jabot · 2009-03-05 13:23:43

Have just bought as SMC wifi phone off ebay. Trying to set it up but can't get past 'searching for wireless network. It automatically brings up 'Eircom 5260 6240' but when I ask to connect to it it asks for a 'network key'. I am stumped.....anyone got any ideas.

It is asking for your WEP or WPA/PSK security key for your network. Since you are an eircom customer, go to 192.168.1.254 on your PC browser and look in the wireless setup screen for the wireless key. You need to enter this key on your phone.
