[Q] I can't connect to Wi-Fi. - HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an

So after sucessfully flashing my HD2 to WP7, and obtaining a 25 digit activation code for Live Services, I go to turn it all on and it refuses to connect with my Wi-fi. All it says is "Your phone couldn't reach the Wi-Fi network wireless". I used to hape WPA, but i took it off so that maybe it would connect. But it didn't work. I even disabled the firewall, and the mac filter list.
My router is a Westel Model 327W (Provided by my ISP).
I currently have this rom installed. This is the second one I've had, the first one was the first one that was ever available, idk what it's called or where I can link to it.
Please help me! I can't get data, so Wi-Fi is my only option for internet! Which is my only option for installing apps! And its not working!
UPDATE:
So i walked down the street and tried to access 3 different Unsecured Wi-Fi access points (all of which I could connect to on my iPod Touch) and for each one it said "Your phone couldn't reach the Wi-Fi network ______". So now I know that the problem isn't in my internet.
Please help! I have no idea what to do!

Please someone help! I can't do a thing with this phone! It is so irritating!

Reflash the rom with maglrd, but have you wifi router switched off. once the rom is loaded, look into the wifi settings and see if you see other wifi pick ups.. Now switch on your wifi router. Do you now see your own wifi address! I had a similar problem, but that fixed for me, but also choose wep instead of wap.
C how you get on.

What's wrong with your WIFI? Mine works fine on the latest K-jam ROM when connecting to my "slow" (B) WLAN router.
wifi quit workin for me
i cant connect to any routers. I had to manually enter DHCP settings (dns) in the old cingular rom because my router sucks or something but now with the same settings and stuff i cant get on to any access points. just says connecting and then NOT CONNECTED.
weird.

Yes. Weird. My WLAN router is unstable, sometimes nothing can connect to it. Rebooting it helps.
I can't come up with anything more intelligent that that right now. Good luck
solution to the time problem found
Start > Setting > System TAB > Reginal Settings > Times TAB
Change "Time Style" to "h:mm:ss tt"

I read in previous posts that upgrading the firmware of your router to the latest version often helps with the connectivity issues. Worth a try.
my router is up to date with firmware
i cant connect to anything. i can see SSID's. the unit is finding networks, i just cannt connect. it goes from CONNECTING....to NOT CONNECTED.
im stumped. tried everything i can think of!

HD2 WiFi problem **HELP**

Please help, ive had my hd2 for a few days now and have had nothing but problems, might just give it back!
It picks up my home router but simplify wont connect, it just displays a small rotating circle likes it working but nothings happening.
When i remove the settings and retype the key code it keeps saying incorrect code but it isnt,
Anyone any ideas, can i some how reset the wifi settings, its taken me a few days to customize the phone so i dont really want to do a hardwear reset. Ive already a software restset.
Bloody htc!
What protocal are you using on your router? WPA, WEP?
Oh if your using an older Belkin router, I know of about 3-4 models that used to have trouble with WinMo, an update Router flash fixes it though.
Give us some more info on your router etc and Im sure we can help though
Sure your using the right password/key? if it says its wrongs it is probably wrong lol. Maybe try changing it to a more basic password as a test? like "password" and see if it can get connect.

Hi
Calm down. Give some information about your router and the type of security You use.
try these
1. Reset the router once
2. If you use MAc access list on the router then add your device's MAC to the list.
3. If you use N router then in the settings untick N mode protection.
Give more details about the third party software on the hd2 using radios (eg: tomtom, igo,gpstuner like these)
Good luck
HI guys thanks for helping out.
Obvious first - yes the key code is correct i use it on my laptop and iphone.
security mode says WAP-PSK/WPA2-PSK. Its a siemens ive been on the ip server addres and cant see any issues, im on my laptop using the wifi now and its working perfet.
Ive tried everything, changing passwords, settings both on the router and on the phone.
The hd2 is full of really stupid bugs!
Try to hardreset the PPC.
If it won't work, try to update your ROM to the latest available.
If it doesn't want to work, then try to connect to another WiFi without password and see the connection is successful.
If it works with an unprotected WiFi, try to connect to a different router but with protected WiFi.
If it works, then there is a problem with your router and I suggest to update your router's firmware.
funny wifi
the problem wit my hd2 is most of the time it shows wifi connected but i cant surf the internet and sometimes out of the blues it connects to the internet,cant figure out wats happening....
HI kholk, thanks for the help, ill work my way through it and hopefully get it sorted!

Have you found the solution? I can help you my friend i had the same situation
I tried to connect yesterday my hd2 with my router. First it wasnt working aswell. Then i set the next things. Channel 9 (was auto), Encryption AES (was tkip and AES). Network mode is Mixed. Further have you installed Mac Filter? I installed this also. So if i have a connection thats it. I must fill in my macadres from my phone for i get fully connected.
Hi guys thanks all for you help call HTC UK support and their amazing advice was to do a full hard reset!
I really am having a lot of problems with this phone and i cant understand why their have been so many issues?!
Hi guys,
I have the same problem- HD2 shows it is connected, but no access to Internet(other- laptop, SE990 phone is connected and working OK)
For not to write about all, now situation is:
1. On router wrt54g2 temporary disabled wireless security, only mac filtering is on(laptop mac, SE mac, HD2 mac is allowed), router firmware is up to date
2.HD2 is like new after hard reset, no settings is done for connection to home network. HD2 wifi is on, looking for access points and connecting to only one available open network in my area- to my home network and shows it is connected but no access to Internet.
3. In router I can see all connected clients by mac. All 3(lap, SE, HD2) are connected. I use Network Magic software too but it is showing only my laptop and desktop are connected. SE is not connected according NM, but it is working OK.
P.S.
Do not know what else can help you in my problem(maybe some other router setting, but as other devices are connected without problems so maybe it is not important for now)
So only my HD2 can not access WWW
Can You guys help somehow please
I've got a similar problem with an HD2 over here. Wifi does switch on, but it just won't connect to my router. The cirkel that is supposed to show when connecting to a network doesn't show either. I'm using WPA2-AES security, and yes, i did use the proper network key. I haven't tried connecting to other networks/using an alternative encryption method because a lot of other devices will then have to be reconfigured and it's not my own place. My Touch HD and 2 laptop connect to the network without any problems. The only solution I came across until now is doing a hard reset, which I would rather not do... I'm using a stock dutch rom (V1.43). Is it possible that upgrading to the newer 1.48 will solve this problem?
Have you tried removing the wireless security password and trying again? Test to see if maybe you are indeed typing in the password wrong.
Also check your exception list on your router, it might be blocking any other devices coming in.
I have the same problem.. Get the spinning loading circle and thats it.. But if i turn my belkin wires g router running wpa2 off then straight back on again the phone connects fine. But if i then leave my house or disconnect from the network then try and reconnect it wont and have to do the same process again. Luckily im also running a speedtouch 585 modem router which the phone connects fine to.
hey maybe it takes only a WEP key and not WPA as most people have. this is certainly the case as mentioned in the Wifi router article below -
http://www.mobilityminded.com/5438/wi-fi-router-on-htc-hd2-application-overview
Again me
It seems that it is problem with my router. HD2 was able to connect to open wireless a.p. in my town and all sow to my friends router which is using WPA security. So my linksys is not compatible, or i will try some other settings on it, but as other router clients have no problems, i am loosing my hope to have my HD2 connected at home unless i change router. But then another problem- which router will be compatible with all my devices in prise range of 100$
And replying to blackheart2925 my friend is using wpa not wep, i do not know other settings on his router but it is not security problem.
One thing is strange for my HD2 shows it is connected, router shows mac of HD2 among connected clients, but only HD2 do not have access to internet

how are you connected to internet is it router which dials to isp or you have made a broadband dial up on your desk top ...
if you have dial up shortcut on desktop then you can not use internet via hd then change setting in router
better way is hard reset router and then reconnect hopefully it will solve your issue ..........

Router "dials" to my isp and share internet for all connected devices...
Yes, i am going to hard resset my router, but have not much hope i sucsess
PROB:
If your HD2 connects to router but you cannot enter any web site, do this:
SOLUTION:
enter your www router settings - wireless - access control - MAC Address Filtering Table ->>>>> add your HD2 MAC adress
enter your www router settings - firewall - access control ->>>>> add your HD2 MAC adress
so, you have to add your MAC adress of HD2 into router TWO TIMES into TWO PLACES!
I had the same problem and..... solved

Evo won't connect to home Wifi anymore, but will everywhere else...

So after rooting and putting a new ROM on, I am unable to connect to my home wifi. My computer, ipod, ect, all connect perfectly.
My phone will connect to any other wifi other than my homes.
Is there a setting I am missing? I have already reset the router and modem....
Try deleting the home wifi profile and adding it again.

By deleting you mean "forget". Tried it, did not work...
Shot in the dark here but, is your home router setup only as wireless n? I know our phone are n capable but maybe for some reason yours wont connect to wireless n maybe a bad flash with new new rom. Since it connects to other networks usually they are setup for all 3 signals and thats why it connects. If yours is only setup for n maybe thats why..like I said shot in the dark but thats the only thing I can think of at the moment..check your router and see if it b,g,and n or only n. Good luck

Problem with WiFi router.
Some WiFi routers let you connect but not actually use it:
they require password or are not for public use.
Shouldnt be that is the problem. cuz she did connect to my wifi router a couple of weeks ago.
Well i did a soft reset(though i dont know if it is really resetted), and it worked again. But i still hope someone can answer why is this happening.
Thanks!
Tell her to temporarily open up her WiFi connection and disable encription.
Try to connect.
This worked for me on my dads router, a 2WIRE modem/router combination that he got from AT&T, (terrible device).
When done just re-enable the encryption.
If she wants to keep the encryption then you need to go into the WiFi settinngs and locate her WiFi signal.
Click Connect.
Then try each encrypted setting until it works(TPK, SHARED, TPK-PSK, etc. . . ). This is what I had to do at my office and at home. It took a bit of time but I finally found the correct type of encryption.
Worth trying. Will try telling her these when she comes by again today. Thanks mate!

HTC Leo Wi-Fi problem

Hey there! I just got my new HD2 (T-mobile) for XMAS. But I have a problem. When I try to connect to WiFi it tries to connect but it doesn't connect with my router. I tried every key type but with no result.
P.S. Sorry but I couldn't find any threads matching my problem.
Your wifi router is wireless 'N' type?
If so, you will have to search the forums how to enable Wireless N WiFi network on your HD2

The fastest way to find out is to go to a local Starbucks etc who have free wifi, and see if it connects, if it does then its your home wifi router key that needs to be sorted out? I use WEP for my wifi and an easy key that i remember. Give it a try, or ask your fiends that have wifi to try and test on there system...
Or if you did set your wifi router on "N" then reset it back to auto mode to get your mobile working.
Russ
try to get really close to the router, like 1 foot away, and see if it connects, if that is the case, your antenna has come loose and you need to send it back to get it fixed.
I have 2.4GHz b+g+n with WPA TKIP on channel11
@edit: ok it works. thread closed
HD2 Tmobile us
I am running Froyo 2.1 on Kumar ROM and cannot use or set up the "portable Hotspot" feature...Is there a fix?
