Overriding automated WIFI setup
 
Greetings all,

On my N900 I can connect to most APs easily (save for the known WEP issue), even the so-called "WPA Setup Compliant" (WSC) (I believe that's what it's called, none are nearby right now to check).

The issue I have is when there is an open, unencrypted wifi connection on a router that supports the WSC (pub, coffee shop, etc), my N900 requires that I use the WSC process. This means pressing a button on the router, which isn't always possible. Is there a way to bypass this and simple connect to the open router? Is it possible to disable the use of WSC completely?

Kind regards,

Toaster

You should be able to setup WPS AP manually from control panel if you cannot push AP button or input pin code in AP. So go to control panel and then "Internet connections" -> Connections -> New, and then create AP data manually.

I wasn't able to do this with my home WPS AP. It would only connect to that router after pushing the button. Really irritating as it wasn't working correctly on the router so I couldn't use wifi.
