WPA-PSK & log on issue with new iPhone

    I'm guessing that this isn't actually an iPhone issue, but a network issue. Hoping someone here can help me. My Iphone gives me a list of wifi security options: WEP, WPA, WPA2, WPA Enterprise & WPA2 Enterprise. However, the settings in my normal PC wifi connection state WPA-PSK. Which of these is the one I need to go for and is there anything else I need to be aware of?

    WPA PSK stands for Wifi protected access - preshared key.

    So basically you just have standard WPA security. Just choose WPA on your iPhone.

    Havn't used the iPhone but I would assume it would just be WPA and then it will prompt you to enter the "password", i.e. the PSK (Pre-Shared Key)

    I tried that but it tells me it's "unable to join the network."

    Is your wireless network limited by MAC address?
