Hrm, that phone should support the default encryption that the HT2000w uses... Might be worth a shot seeing if changing the encryption type helps though, let me know if it does or doesn't.
Your device may not support the Wifi Encryption method the HT2000w uses by default, this could be due to the age of the device, or software of the device. In the case of a Wireless adapter for your computer, please make sure you have the latest drivers installed. You can usually download the drivers from the manufacture of your computer, or of the wireless adapter.
To change from the default WPA2 AES encryption method to WPA/WPA2 TKIP+AES mode, please follow the steps below.

Interesting. I couldn't connect my Tracfone the other day and had forgotten about these instructions. I tried it and it connected. Still, though, I disconnected and went back to the defaults as I was only trying it for the heck of it.
In the future, if I want to connect my Tracfone again, I'll just connect my Netgear router and use that, though my phone is practically useless with Wi-Fi. :)
All is well here in MD.
Computer is up-to-date with updates.
Cell phone is connected.
Speed and surfing is great.
Loving Gen 5!
