the phone should pickup your wireless whether encrypted or not.
all i do to use my home setup is enter the encryption code.
"droid x" in your subject line is a little vague, maybe droid x wi-fi issues lets folks know what you're question is about.

Thanks for the suggestion. I think my problem is not my configuration but a problem with the DROID X itself. I have read that they have wifi connectivity problems.

I have not had any problems connecting my DROID X to any of multiple WiFi routers.
When you say "it tries to connect", what exactly is happening. Does it see your network? Does it give you a screen where you are supposed to type in a password? Are you inputting the correct password?
The first time I come up to a NEW WiFi network, it asks me if I want to connect, I type in the password, and I am connected. No need to type in the password next time I connect. Connects automatically everytime after that.

I got to the screen to input my password; input correctly Under wi-fi settings and on my network it initiallysays 'obtaining IP address from my network (by name)" . Then wi-fi say "scanning' and under my network says "remembered, secured with WEP" For a few seconds wifi and network will both read "connected". Then "disconnected" and goes thru entire cycle of scanning, obtaining IP...
Sounds to me like some of the problems I have read with some DROID X just not connecting to wi-fi.
Thanks for trying to help

In the end I gave up trying to connect to the WEP network. I don't have access to the settings in that router/modem to make any changes. The other WPA network is happier for it.
I'm most definitely NOT a VZW employee. If a post answered your question, please mark it as the answer.

My network security is also WPA. Have never tried to connect to a WEP network.
