Setting up Sandisk wifi card with netgear ADSL wireless

Please can anyone help me. I have just recieved a sandisk wifi card but I am having trouble setting it up and connecting with my netgear wireless adsl router :evil: . Does anyone know where I can get step by step instructions for setting this up and all the settings I need?
Thanks

It would help if you told us which router model you have. What seem to be the problems, remember on routers you might have MAC filtering activated and also WEP encryption.

Sorry it is a Netgear DG834G. Having played with it all night, this morning I have now connected and can browse with PIE. No idea what connections I changed to get it working though, but would like to understand what I should have been setting.
Thanks

Can't make this combination work
Hi,
Have got the same router and Orange SPV M1000 on W2003 SE. Have been trying to make this work for a month now. There is no MAC address filtering and no Encryption. It did detect the router once or twice and worked fine once. But it has not worked since then. Have tried speaking to SANDISK, who said that there is a problem with the router and that I need to speak to Netgear. I also tried the Socket's drivers with the SANDISK WiFi, but no luck. Have checked all the settings etc but with no luck yet. The netgear router wirks perfectly all right with another Netgear USB Wifi adapter on a desktop machine. The problem is that the Sandisk WIFI cannot even see the netgear router (the 'Allow Broadcast of Name (SSID)' has been selected on the netgear router).
Can somebody help me out with this?
Thanks

Hi,
Try changing the Wireless Radio Channel to eleven (11).
Regards,

Thanks for your reply. It has been set to Channel 11 by default!

Hi,
There is a few thing that you can try.
1) Disable the encryption.
2) Disable the G mode.
3) Disable any of the multiplier mode. This means that to run the router at max of 11Mbit/s only.
Regards,
Kueh.

All done still no luck. It does not pickup the router.
DHCP has been enabled on Netgear router. Do I need to add any settings manually for this to work?
Raj

Some settings I have set that now allows me access to netgear router and on to the internet. Still need to understand if I can access files on PC.
Under connections/advanced/select networks (programs that automatically connect to a private network) My Work Network/proxy settings. Tick both and put in netgear router server IP address. In Advanced HTTP has same IP address.
Under Connections/advanced/network card/ My network connects to... the internet. Click on adapter (I used Socket drivers for Sandisk card) for IP address select Use server assigned IP address.
You then need to set up the router to allow you to have access.
Go into Wireless Settings.
Name (SSID) - the default given
Region - mine is Europe
Channel - mine is 11
Mode - mine is g & b
Wireless Access Point
Enable Wireless Access Point selected
Allow broadcast of name select
Wireless Station Access list
Click button
Select Turn Access control on
Add New Station manually
Type in a device name for your XDA
Type in the MAC address off the back of your Sandisk card
Press Add
Security options
Select WEP
WEP Security Encryption
Authentication type - Shared Key
Encryption strength - 128 bit
WEP Key
Passphrase - (I used a word and pressed generate)
Key 1 - was populated and selected (When connecting with XDAII I was asked for this Key)
I think that about sums it up. May have changed other settings in my frustration of trying to get it to work so no guarantees.
Regards

Tried everything as suggested by you. I just can't make it work. I can't even see the router in the available wireless networks lists. I have given up now!
Thanks for your help.

VARIO Wifi Access points that Do or Dont Work!

Im looking to get the Wifi working on my Vario at home. My current Access point wont connect due to T-mobile's lock out of the 802.11g.
So I can get a Access point that works, I thought it would be helpful to post up your Model with a Yes or No after you have tried all the different settings as posted on the forum e.g. different channels and mixed mode etc.
This is for g Locked Varios only please not ones with flashed ROMs.
Please keep it simple Model YES or NO.
Thanks
:wink:

To Start us off......
Inexq HR054g Access point (NO)

if your Wizard has b only (ROM issue, not hardware) then ANY router which is set to allow g only will fail to connect. yours "should" allow "b" devices to connect http://www.inexq.com/web1/images/product/spec/hr054g.htm
So maybe you have a setting that is allowing "g" only

Router is set to mixed mode, it can see the network but wont connect

Have you got MAC address filtering enabled on your router and forgotten....I did.
Also try changing WLan card settings on your XDA from Best battery to best performance..Make a lot of difference. and many have found theirs connects after this

All turned off any other options

I have a BT2100 wireless router and mini-s, sometimes it won't connect until I stop active sync running on the mini-s ???

3-Com OfficeConnect ADSL Firewall Wireless 11g Router (set to mixed)
Vario will only connect when router set to open access i.e. security disabled. Any other setting i.e. WAP, WEP causes the routers internal DHCP server to fail to send an IP address back to the Vario... or the Vario being unable to acknowledge the router?

Have got a couple more routers comming my way, will post them up when Ive had a chance to test them

I've seen this issue detailed elsewhere but I can't remember exactly where - apparently for some reason the 3com sends back an IP v6 address when security is enabled, which the Wizard can't use.
So far I've used a cheapie Origo wireless router (conexant chipset) and a Netgear D834G (in mixed mode), my Wizard seems happy with both.

thanks for your help..

Have the O2 XDA Exec myself, but the settings should be the same, checked with my Acer N50 to make sure
Leap is blank for me too.
some setting differences betweens yours and mine
neither the NE2000 or tiacswln cards have been touched in anyway, left them as default.
mine is set to connect to 'The Internet'
the key is provided for me automatically is unchecked, I manually typed it in with the key index.
use Ieee 802.1x is unchecked
check the belkin setup page, and see if the XDAIIi is staying connected or it is connecting and disconnecting.
looking at the manual, check the Belkin setup page at Firewall/Client IP Filters and make sure the PDA isn't being blocked there. Also check that the Mac Address Filtering is not enabled, if it is, you will need to add the PDA MAC address into it.

Hi Wytey
Thaks a lot, your configuration works perfectly.

internet access through ad hoc wifi connection?

hi, im not able to connect to the net with my wizard.
i dont have a wireless router so am connecting directly to my laptop, the ad hoc connection i have made works fine for file tranfers, but not for activesync or connecting to the web in either PIE or minimo.
i know activesync isnt possible but surely i should be able to use the broaband from my laptop?
any pointers would be greatly appreciated. software? settings?
its a t-mobile uk vario with qtek test rom.
also anyone know of a remote control utility, i use logmein but would like something a little more menu/macro based for control of media.
cheers
kevo

Try turning on Internet Connection Sharing (ICS) on your laptop; that'll make your laptop act a bit more like a router, providing NAT services to the Wizard.

yeah i've tried that, and i've just tried bridging connections (dont really know much about that) but that hasnt worked either.
kevo

My configuration
Me too, I use ADHOC connection for my WLAN.
PC configuration:
ADSL connection shared
Adress IP:192.168.1.1 Mask:255.255.255.0
PocketPC configuration:
Adress IP:192.168.1.55 Mask:255.255.255.0 Gateway:192.168.1.1
DNS:80.10.246.2 for Wanadoo
Your problem is certainly the DNS.
You can put 192.168.1.1 too.

so it is possible? cool!.......but im still having problems.
i cant figure out how to enter these settings, not to sure where to put them,
iv tried puttin the DNS in the -> connections -> vpn
and -> network cards -> networks adapters -> SDIO WLAN Wireless Adapter
sorry to be a pain, but could you point me to where to get each address and where to put them?
also is there anything particular you did to set up the adhoc network? i just used the Windows XP wizard and then ticket the AdHoc option after.
my laptop is conected to the router and the router is connected to aol adsl.
the ip address of my laptop is showing as a simple 10.0.0. number on the LAN but "Autoconfiguration IP Address. . . : 169.254.235.147" for the WLAN
none of my setup has a static ip address, could this be causing the problems?
thanks
kevo

It's more hazardous without static adress but it's can work.
My PC has directly access to the Internet with a ADSL modem.
It's here (network cards -> networks adapters -> SDIO WLAN Wireless Adapter )
Apparently, it's ok for your PC and the Ad-Hoc mode.
Maybe, you should have your adress IP WLAN on the same network adress of your router.

I GOT IT WORKING!!!
I started again from scratch.
set a new WLAN. added new setup to the vario, added the DNS etc to the vario.
the problem i was having was the way i was sharing the internet connection, i was trying to shared the internet from the wireless to the lan rather than the internet from the lan to the wireless (if that makes sense to anyone!!!). i also ticked all the connection sharing services to allow them, just need to go through them and see which i dont need now.
thanks for the help guys
kevo
(its showing my transfer rate as 11Mbps, although i think iv done the G tweak and my laptop says its got a G card. what speeds should i be getting?)

wifi problem

ok heres the deal... i have a MDA flashed with the software from att for the 8125 everything works great except when i turn wifi on, i can connect to the network but cant ever get a page to work. does anyone have any suggestions????? please help

Is this happening on any network or your home network?
Check this... go to Settings - Connections - Network Cards. Make sure the WLAN Adapter is set to connect to the internet. Then tap the WLAN Adapter and make sure IP Address is set to Server Assigned then in Name Servers you don't have anything. If any of these is different, change it to the above.

Yeah. I have the same problem. I have wifi pci asus, the signal is good. I have Lan tru router and now bridged connection. I set the ip, mask and gateway which are in the status of the brudge. And the internet explorer and opera wont load pages.?!??! dns isnt set.
The network adapter is sdio wlan.., and the connection is my work network in connection > connections > advanced >select networks.
i use wm6, nbd 8.0
What could be the problem???

it is home network and all other wifi locations

i know there is a problem with secured networks, especially with wpa encryption. try to remove the encryption and see how it goes....

I have removed all encription. I tried preety much everithing and it doesnt work. All other free wifi networks work just fine, i can surf on internet.

what router do you have? i know that i could not connect to a 3com router with the wizard with any rom i tried.
try using a defined ip address and dns, meaning no dhcp. use a real dns addresses and not the default gateway...
