Since I got my N95 last week, wireless LAN has been working fine with my N95 and BT Home Hub - until today. I tried to connect, and for some reason, my access point had gone from the phone. I tried scanning for it again, and my phone can't find it. It can only find two other networks in my street!
I then went into LAN wizard and scanned again. This time it found the connection. I put in the key, and it accepted it. I opened up my browser and tried to connect. I got the following:
Connection failed: invalid key
I tried deleting the connection and putting it back in again, but when I scanned using the wizard, it couldn't find the network again!!
This whole process was repeated over and over until I was ready to throw the phone out the window. Anyone have any idea why my phone won't find the network, and when it does, it won't accept the key? | |

the BT routers I have seen have a couple of different keys on the label on the router
are you sure you're putting the right key in? (sounds obvious but worth checking  )

Another thing, also obvious but worth a try, have you re-booted the router? Unplug it from the mains for 10 seconds, then power it up again? Routers can do funny things sometimes as well as phones!

Yes, the key was definitely right!

Thanks, it was the router. Restarted it, and the N95 connected perfectly. Typical BT cr*p. | |
