So i'm in the travelling in the UK and have bought a prepaid UK Vodafone SIM which is working out great.

i'm staying at a cousin's house who has wireless. i'm trying to setup the wireless connection on my Bold. it's running the latest offical v5.0 firmware sticked at the top of this section.

when i do a scan, it finds the network. I try to connect and it gives me a message regarding "This wirless router supports wi-fi protected setup. to connect using a PIN (which your BB will generate), click Next."

so i click next, and voilla, a PIN is generated and my bold is asking me to enter this PIN into the wireless router. I looked at the wireless router config and do not know where I'm supposed to do this. I did a search in this subsection of the forum and nothing exactly came up but results gave me a couple of clues.

So i tried a manually adding it. i entered the name of the network but for the security type, there is no selection for the correct type. In the auto scan, i'm able to get the network details and the security type is WPA2-Personal. when I add the network, here are the choices:

No secruity
WEP
PSK (pre-shared key) (i've already tried entered the security key here but fails to authenticate)
PEAP
LEAP
EAP-TLS
EAP-FAST
EAP-TTLS
EAP-SIM
EAP-AKA

i'm stuck. any suggestions?
