Guys,
I know wep is not the ideal encryption, but that's all I have right now (I'm using my iMac as a virtual router).
I've spent all day yesterday trying to make the wep 64bit or 128bit work:
- input the passcode in ASCII or HEX
- used reef angel wifi dos utility: Associated: false / Auth: False / DHCP: false IP: 10.0.2.22:2000
- used dave molton's wifi utility: bad len=13, ERR: Bad args....disconnect from XXX, AUTH-ERR
- used teraterm pro without any success, can't connect.
Without encryption, I was able to connect the module to my wifi and dl the latest firmware.
Please help.

The new wifi utility assumes WPA1 or WPA2.
Try using Dave's utility. You can set WEP128 on his.
WEP64 is not supported. It's too weak.

Is your WEP open or shared?
According to the manufacturer's manual, only open mode is supported.

Ahh, also on the latest firmware, it seems they have added WEP64 too.

I tried with an open network, no encryption, the green led stays green even after connecting the wifi module to RA. I can ping the ip but I can't access the 10.0.2.22:2000 via browser or iPhone app. Please advise. Thank you

Did you enable wifi feature on RAGen before you upload the code?

Ah, I remember seeing on your previous post that you were using baud rate 9600.
When you used Dave's utility, you missed the first button that says "Apply Basic Settings"
That button changes a bunch of settings and also change the baud rate to 57600.
If you use the new wifi utility, it will be done automatically for you.
