OK! Quite briefly...WPAstands for Wi-Fi protected access. It is a standard security protocol implemented by Wi-Fi alliance to secure wireless computer networks. WPA standard is an advancement over WEP (standing for -->Wired Equivalent Privacy) standard that had some security issues... WPA implements most of the IEEE 802.11i standards and provides greater security than WEP.

My new kindle fire keeps rejecting my password so i cant sign in

Access your wireless router and change the security settings from WPA or whatever to none and APPLY or SAVE.

Then immediately after, change the security setting back to the orginal security setting WPA or whatever.

Try it again.

If no joy, go to your Kindle and find the wireless settings and find the entry for your wireless router and delete or forget that network.

Restart your kindle and try logging into the wireless router again.

I can not obtain an ip address it keeps saying that my wpa key is wrong. How can i sort it ?

Hi there. The WPA password is the one used for your router's protection. If the PS3 says that it the key entered is wrong, this definitely means that you have input the wrong WPA password and maybe tried to put another password.

The best thing to for this is to simply reset your password of your router and make sure to know exactly how you spelled it then simply input the new password into the PS3.

Please rate and comment, thank you.

Whats the wpa key in the psp

The wpa key is the wireless password for whatever wireless network your trying to connect to.
You cannot use these wireless networks that have wpa security unless you get the relevant key from the owner of the network

Passwoed

Lol whi-fi? You need to read up on WEP (Wired Equivalence Protection) WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access) and WPA2 to learn about it. Then you need to login to your router usually using 192.168.0.1 or whatever I.P. (Internet Protocol) Address your router has. Use your default password (provided with your manual) and set a different password after inside. Read your manual to understand where to set your WEP or WPA Passwords. Keep in mind WEP despite the name is not Equivalent to Wired Connections. WEP can be cracked withing 1-2 minutes. WPA and WPA2 can be cracked as well if it is using a PSK Handshake. Do a little homework and read your owners manual. Understand the risk.

Internet doesnt connect without repairing the connection

Do you ahve the WPA password?
If you have the correct WPA password and if you were able to go online before on the same computer, then it will not ask you to enter the password again and again. It will save the password in the memory.
If you are facing problem while connecting to the network , then you can try to removed the network from the preferred networks list.

I have a Belkin Router, have had it for a while now. I don't know how to make my network security enabled. Right now it's open and I know others in my building are using my network. How do I secure my...

Hi,
Type www.routerlogin.com into your internet address bar. enter your username and password for the router. if you don't know, try admin and password. You can change that to whatever you like, in the router's settings menu. Now go to Security, under Wireless, and change the drop down menu to WEP or WPA or whatever you like. WPA is stronger encryption. Apply.
Choose password, write it down somewhere safe, and exit.
Done!
