I recently went wlan at home and the laptop I sync my mini S with is now wireless. However, every time I connect the phone to the laptop and activesync kicks in it kills my wlan connection.
Any suggestions?
Search the forums, there is some information about it.
It's a known problem with certain Intel wireless chipsets (mainly 2200bg). There are a few solutions, pick your favorite one below:
- Don't use WPA+TKIP for your laptop, since the problem is related to this. Using WEP or WPA+AES shouldn't give you problems.
- Downgrade your wireless driver to 9.0.4.x and use Intel's software to manage your wireless connection (this includes the Intel Connection Manager). Download here directly from Intel.
- Switch the usb connection on the PocketPC to Serial_Class instead of RNDIS. You can do this with the USB_Switch utility found here or, -if you have that option-, go to Start -> Settings -> Connections -> USB to PC and UNcheck 'Enable advanced network functionality'.
Hope this helps!
Thanks for the info. I did a search and couldn't find much - obviously not using the correct terms.
Not compromising my security setup so I'll look at alternative WPA methods.
I've tried the Intel Connection Manager and found it awkward - but that's just a personal preference.
I'll certainly look at the usb configuration on the mini S and give it a try.
Again, many thanks for the pointers.

If you want to be able to use your mini S on the wireless network as well, you're stuck with WPA+TKIP, since this is the only WPA option WM5 supports at this time.
If you've got a wireless router that supports WPA2 TKIP+AES you might give that a try. In that case you can connect you're laptop with WPA2+AES (requires SP2 for XP I think..) and it should provide fallback to WPA+TKIP for your mini S. Having said that.. not all routers have the option and some that do still don't work this way (like my Linksys WRT54g )

You're welcome!
The usb_switch utility did what I need. I can now sync and my wlan stays alive. Haven't bothered to try the other suggested methods.
Thanks again.
Hello everyone!
Sorry to reactivate this old thread, but Microsoft still hasn't fixed this problem.
Unfortunately the link to the USB_Switch utlility isn't valid anymore, and I can't find any download site of this tool somewhere else. Could someone please post a working link to USB_Switch? Many thanks!

Hi!
I have a huge problem, with my tytn HTC
I have a wireles network at home. It is built like this:
Cable modem --> (not wireless)Router--> computer (conected to the router via UTP cable, that means with ordinary network adapter card).
In this computer, i have WIRELESS USB card, configured as Access point (AP), so the wireless networks works just fine. With my laptop i can connect to internet through this card with no problem at all...
But, when i try to connect to internet with my TyTN, it just won't work... it finds wireless network, it sais it is available, but when i try to connect, nothing happens. it sais "connecting" and than- nothing happens... after several tries, it sais that my wireless network is unavailable... when i reset my Tynt, it sais it is available again, but the same story again...after several attempts to connect to wireless network, it sais unavailable and that's it...
What is wrong? i tried everything, im quite desspered here...
Well, tnx in advance for any suggestions and advices...
I appologise for my bad english, too...
TNX!
Do you have any restrictions in your Acess point configuration? If yo have, just remove it or reconfigure for acess with your TyTN. Try to remove WEP or MAC filtering or firewall...
Resolving your wireless problems ...
There's actually several things you need to check.
First, on the Router side, insure that you are not restricting your wireless access. For instance, is your Router set to G Only or is it b/g?
Next, on your router side, make sure your router is not hidden. If so, then you'll need to manually add the router via Configure Wireless Networks on your TyTN. At the top is "Add New...". Choose this and insert your settings for your wireless router.
On the TyTN (HTC Hermes) side of things, you need to see if you are set to be B only or if you've upgraded (I think most ROMs on this site have this fix installed) and your device is seen as a G device and therefore can connect to G only devices.
These should hopefully resolve your issues.
i removed restrictions and firewall and still nothing...
Next thing, my wireless Access Point is set to 54g Auto.
On my Tynt i have installed Windows mobile 6 profesional, CE OS 5.2.1437 (build 17944.0.3.1)
I don't know exactly where should i look if my HTC is wireless is B or G...
I tried to change settings on my AP from 54g Auto to 802.11B and to to 802.11G and vice versa, but still nothing...
As i wrote before, i don't have wireless router i just have an ordinary router and then wireless USB card in one of the computers, so i can connect with my laptop to internet over this card. With laptop it works excelent.
So, can anyone suggest what kind of OS should i install on my HTC in order to fix this, and where can i get one?
TNX for so far, and TNX in advance for any further information or suggestion!
Still having problems...i tried everything...
i tried to connect to wireless network at friend's wireless router...TyNT found a signal, everything was just fine, then asked me for key (friend has WEP protection), i typed the password, and then i couldn't connect again...
I havo no clue whatsoever anymore...
Anyone with same problem?? Any suggestions?
Tnx in advance for any advice...
hmm...
I guess it is a hardware problem with my tynt's WI-FI...i can't think of anything else... i tried everything, still can not connect...
Im getting quite desspered with this HTC... i guess i'll sell it and buy NOKIA N95 or something like that...
well, if someone by any chance know where the problem is, i thanks in advance for every advice or suggestion
TNX
tytn wireless
I have nothing to contribute as we have similar problems. I have learned from other users that development team from Htc is preparing a patch which will be released in two months time. Let's wait for it then.
wifi
same problem here ...
I have tried to flash older radio didn't help ...
I have tried disable wep on my router ... didn't help
I'm just in a loop of AVAILABLE-->CONNECTING-->AVAILABLE etc.

Hi!
I'm just wondering are there any solutions been found?
Or it's definitely hardware problem?
WBR!
problem
so Ive found my problem ....
Ive upgraded firmware in my router to newest version and problem appeared.
When I've removed encryption wpa2 and set my router to no encryption my wifi worked again.
So I've bought different wifi router and I've no problems now.
So anyone who is having dead wifi in hermes try to deactivate wifi encryption and try a different router (friends house or public wifi hotspot)

Recently bought my wife one of these devices and just spent two whole days looking for a solution and that was it.. mixed mode - I had mine set to "G" only! Sometimes the solution is too simple for the geek to be able to spot I guess - maybe the wife would have found it faster!
Thanks for the solution.. as with all forums I always suggest a FAQ with these solutions or links to the threads/posts with these tips and resolutions.

Thank you in advance.

Hi guys,
my University stopped the 802.11b standard for their WLAN network (only g/n possible). Since that happened my HTC Hero (Elelinux-6.2.0-Hero-Speedmachine-v5-Reloaded) cannot connect anymore.
The guys from the computer core facility said that many HTC mobile phone seem to have this problem because the phone always try to connect with the 802.11b-standard first. Since it is not available anymore, the connection cannot be established.
My question is now: Does anybody know how to fix this problem? Is it possible to prevent the phone from using the 802.11b standard?
Thanks a lot!
Cheers
oh yeah i REALLY would like to know that, too. that's been pissing me off for years. i actually had the some problem with a linuxdriven notebook. i never got that to work.
this seems to be a fairly common problem, can anyone provide a solution for that?

you might be able to use the 3GTurboCharger_Installer.. I think this script changes it.
Dear,
Since i'm using the oneplus phones i can't connect to my VPN server running on my NAS Synology.
I tried to use it on the OPO...but it didn't work. Looked it up and i found out there was an problem with the VPN and the standard software.
Now i bought the new model of oneplus and still i can't get it working on my OPT.
On my NAS i configured the VPN for L2TP/IPSec. So i tried with the exact settings on my phone. Result it's not working!
Tried it on my macbook and it work's like charm!
Others with the same problem?
Cheers
