is it possible to change mda vario from 802.11b to 802.11g
when i get connected to wifi, internet is very slow, is that normal or can you speed up ur connection?
Assuming you're on something like ADSL as your main internet pipe, the difference between 802.11bb and g is negligable for internet access as you'll always be limited to 512kb/s, or 1Mb, or whatever speed your ADSL is...
It's slow because you're asking a device with limited memory to render a web page into a format suitable for viewing on a screen smaller than the designer probably intended. The comms are not the bottleneck.
I guess you got connected to your AP then?
yes i managed to get connected to AP thanks, but it bloody slow

I'm looking to get my xda2 networked with my pc some how, so I can share my pc's internet connection around my house, I was thinking of a wifi card + wireless router, but that's going to be quite expensive.
Could use a bluetooth dongle for my pc and connect with that and share my pc's broadband connection, or is this not possible?
You can get the internet shared on the XDA II with a bluetooth dongle, but don't expect to get your full bandwidth.
I ran a speed test on my XDA II using bluetooth (via activesync passthrough) and only got 556kbps (near the desktop).
But Bear in mind that the speed deteriorates quite quickly the further from the computer you get.
It works fine for streaming radio and skype and I can get a range of about 15m (thats throught a floor and a wall - thin ones) and still listen to the radio.
Of course wi-fi has the advantages of speed, distance, and you can then use hotspots. But is rather pricey - mainly the SD wi-fi card, wireless router would probably turn out cheaper.
All i'm really interested in is the ability to lay in bed, browse a few webpages and sit on msn, not a lot else really, so the bandwidth hopefully should be ok

Yes, in fact thats all i use it for really, well and skype and radio. Browsing is a bit slow on non ppc or wap sites.....the graphics really slow it down.....flash stuff loads ok tho
when you connects with activesync with bluetooht and have network shareing enabled in activesync you have access to your pc's internet connection.....
been playing with the vario 2 for few days now, and im very impressed, had a mda pro previous to that. I have web n walk pro, on the phone i get upto 1.2MB internet speed which is what i expect dure to HSDPA, but when i connect the phone to laptop as amodem via usb or blueetoth i get 364KB (the 3G speed).
Why is there a difference in speed? maybe im doing something wrong.
any help would be much appreciated.
Ok, you need to edit the modem within networking in windows(on your pc). You can change the connect speed from a pull down box.
Don't forget that the Bluetooth connection itself is going to slow you down... and even if you have a Bluetooth 2.0 card, the TyTN does not support EDR...
As such, I'd be very surprised if you got any faster than you're already seeing...
I'm sure that as soon as somebody figures out how to make it work, a tethered USB connection will be faster than a Bluetooth one... but this is still not possible...
Try Tethered USB. It's much faster and allows for your full speed. Check the Wiki FAQ. There's instructions there.
Has someone done a usb dial-up connection or usb wireless-modem connection with TyTN? My TyTN reachs 1.5-1.6 Mbps but when a set a dial-up bluetooth connection it only reachs 300 Kbps (with online speed tests). And i cant plug it as wireless usb modem (nothing happens in any of my computers). Some idea?
Thanks
since the TyTN does not support EDR, it's speed is limited, so your getting the max out of BT DUN. Instructions for the USB DUN are included on your CD that came with your device and it has the proper drivers in there. The files (Instructions + Driver) can be also downloaded here:

Has someone done a USB dial-up connection or USB wireless-modem connection with TyTN? (not with htc universal or other. I say with TyNT)
Thanks
Sins i started using GPRS only in steed of UMTS. I can reach 126Kbit/s where I used to have 65Kbit/s. Hoe is these possible?
Second question how can I get Opera mini to connect thru WIFI. it always uses the GPRS connection even when wifi is available like home. Pocket internet don’t have that problem
I had a Dutch T-mobile W&W, MDA VARIO II
Maybe you are now connected to EDGE which can reach speeds up to 384kb/s.
For opera via wifi, go to start-settings-connections-connections-advanced-select networks and select My Work Network and click edit and make sure its either nothing to select under modem or put auto pick.
I'm trying to get wi-fi working right on my exec. I can connect to wi-fi networks fine, but when I try to surf the web in Pocket IE, it automatically connects to the GPRS connection. Even when I have the phone radio off, it just won't connect thruogh wi-fi. Does anybody know how to get Pocket IE using Wi-Fi?
Internet via WIFI
Turn on the WIFI first from wireless manager and make sure you are connected to your wireless network before you fire up the Pocket IE. It should work. It works fine on my Exec.
Well, I got it working. But it's really slow. Any ways to speed it up? I'm sitting right next to my router and it takes almost 30 seconds to load a page.
Exec only has WIFIb built in, hence it does take time to download pages, specially if the page contains lots of pictures, which most of the web pages do now-a-days. Its really mainly for occasional use, you cannot really use it as a desktop replacemnet. WIFI is only good if you are sharing files from your machine(s) on LAN. It still has an issue on WAN. I have tried doing number of things over WIFI, LAN is ok but WAN, not really.
Please excuse me if this is a stupid question
I have an Ameo , and I also have use of a UMPC - which has Wi-fi , but no BT
Would it be theoretically possible to create an adhoc network between the two devices (wi-fi) , and thereby share the Ameo's HSDPA connection ?
I realise that simply connecting them by USB cable will let me do the same thing, but I really could do without having the two physically connected
If the above won't work I'll have to get a dongle for the UMPC I think !

I'm not sure about WiFi but I can tell you something use a USB cable, the one you use for ActiveSync. What I found this summer when using my X7500 as HDSPA modem for my PC was that using USB with the internet sharing connection was far more stable and fast than using BT wireless connection.
Now related to WiFi, just a theory. I don't think that you can with the provided software. What Internet Sharing program does are two things as far as I understand. First launch a connection to the HDSPA system and "listen" the PC either on BT or in USB. Second manage to do some sort of routing between the WAN network (HDSPA) and the "local" network (BT or USB). But I place local between quotes because I'm not meaning LAN which is real LOCAL Area Network, that could work in WiFi. I mean "local" in terms of near to the PC or something like that.
So... perhaps you will be able to connect the Athena and the UMPC using a peer-to-peer WiFi connection which looks possible to me. And for sure you will be able to generate a HDSPA connection to the WAN. But you need a program to route the data from the HDSPA to the WiFi in the Athena in order to get communication in the UMPC using the Athena as router which is the function I mention as second function of the Internet Sharing program.
OK all this is in theory off-course.
Anyway I can tell you that phisical connection using USB for Internet Sharing is solid as a rock and works great for hours.
