I use WPA personal with my Airport Extreme at home, and it works great. When the iPhone tells you it has detected a network and you choose it, it will then ask you for your password. You should only have to do this once as the iPhone remembers networks you have joined in the past.
It does ask me to join and asks me for a password but it doesn't ask for my username. If I enter my password it doesn't log on because it isn't asking for my user name. Didn't know if there were some advanced settings I could go into to set it up. I haven't found anything this far. My Macbook Pro connects at work no problem.
Its not my router. It is my employer's router. I log on with my Macbook Pro using WPA Personal but it requires my work username and work password. Works fine on Macbook Pro. Doesn't even ask for the info on the iPhone.
again, that's standard networking. WiFi just needs a password or key- if it's secure.
This is not what I'm talking about. At home I have WPA and all I need is my network key. The same works on my iPhone. But when I go to work to log onto the wireless I click on the airport icon on my computer and it requires both my username for work and my password. It works fine on the macbook pro but it doesn't ask me for the username on the iPhone and as a result it will not connect.
That doesn't like WPA Personal to me, it sounds like authenticated WPA Enterprise (no matter what the Macbook says).
