This is an obsolete product,
the answer is simple they must match.
we dont know how you setup your router, or even if
you have access to it? or is owned by you or ISP.
but no mater,
this old device, is well like old and crude wifi.
back then some only do WEP encryption, (now banned)
so vast old devices (ipaq and millions of old laptops dont work)
but why risk your home , using this device,
if you are forced down to WEP then the home is not secure.
is that good, you tell me.
if all you do is cruise the web and play games, you dont care
but if like me do on line investing, H3LL no. repeat 3 times.
why not ask the poor guys at HP for help.
or tell what router you have. name and number (even revision fW)
best is run wpa or WPA2 encryption
and a strong pass phrase.
i am not reading your old IPaq manual and is hard to find, free.
endless scaplers selling books lots in stinking germany.
HP deleted it this book long long ago.
most of this Ipaqs are in the trash now, for good reasons.
not saying it cant work.
so match them
router to IPQ
some of these (newer) do WPA
so if yours shows that, then set your router
to wpa/wpa2, (means both work)
aes only , avoid TKIP
short answer. ( post the router model and number)
mine is (AP point only) AC1900 D-link and has no WEP allowed
so if took a IPAQ set to wep here, it fail HARD.
SOURCE: IPAQ wireless connectivity
always start with the simplest answer first so make sure you have WiFi turned on. Think back, have you changed the wireless security on your router? If so you may need to re-enter the network details or add your iPAQ's MAC address to the access control list on the router. In the bottom right-hand corner of the home screen you should have a small HP Wireless symbol, if you tap it you should get your HP Wireless control panel on screen and can 1: turn WiFi on and off, 2: manually enter the WiFi network details and 3: search for WiFi networks in range.
