I'm wondering if there's help beyond those who travel down into the wizard forums about wifi on my device.
I have a Cingular 8125 flashed with Summiter's AKU2.3 Test2 rom. This has the 2.25.11 Cingular radio version installed, and I'm having wifi issues. My questions are as follows:
Does the radio version have anything/everything to do with the performance of wifi in the Cingular 8125?
Are there additional tests that I can see where the hangup is getting my device to work with a belkin pre-n router model F5D8230-4; Firmware Version 1.01.03.
Problem: My 8125 will not connect to a belkin pre-n router. It shows the network is available, it attempts to cnnect, then after about 5-7 seconds, it either says its unavailable for a few seconds, or it says the network is available but doesn't complete its connection. I've tried connecting to the router on all performance settings for wifi on my device, same behavior continues.
It WILL connect to a Linksys SRX 100 router, but performance is erratic. If I let it sit too long, it will timeout, and never get new data from websurfing... instead I have to disable the wifi, re-enable it, and get it to reconnect to the router, then wifi works again. It works for varing lengths of time, typically when I don't let it idle, it keeps the connection.
I'm unsure what will fix this problem. The radio in the original test AKU2.3 by summiter did the same thing as the newer radio packed in test2 - which is the radio version called 2.25.11 i believe.
Best hopes to a few chaps who can help me out here.
I did have Sum Sum installed, which related to the 802.11g registry mod, I've also tried removing that and still same performance. Any help?
WiFi issues after AKU2.3 upgrade
Hey mengesb,
I was just wondering... is your router a 802.11b or 802.11g?
I managed to connect to a computer using Internet Connection Sharing(ICF) on a g-wireless card, but I can not connect to a b-router. The logs on my router say the phone repeatedly managed to connect.
I had been connecting to both these setups everyday before I did the upgrade.
Hopefully this may help break down the problem.
The wireless router that I have the biggest issue with is a Belkin Pre-N router, so technically its 802.11g
Hey Mengesb,
I found an article on 4winmobile.com that might help solve your problem.
Here is what they say about pre-N routers:
One caveat for those using their HTC Prodigy with Belkin Pre-N Routers: You must update the Router firmware to V1.01.03 (available from the Belkin Download Page ). This is not necessary for the HTC Universal (O2 Exec, iMate Jasjar etc) which uses a different hardware WiFi system.
Unfortunately the updated Belkin firmware will not connect to the XDA IIi or XDA IIs, so if you own one of these and a MiniS, you will need to choose which one will be able to connect.

I also found out that that I had to reboot my router (Dlink DI614+ 802.11b) everytime I try to connect with my Wizard because even after disconnecting, the router still has the wizard registered as connected.
Hope that helps.

I'll check this out at my earliest convience but we'll see what happens. From what the router says - there's no newer firmware that is needed for the router. I'll see if this one is compatible, but the lat time I firmwared their router, heh, i nuked it - wrong firmware (pictures were SO the same!) anyway... they got this as a replacement.
Wifi disconnect
Having exact same issue as mengesb with WiFi disconnecting after 5-15 seconds (seems to hang on longer while I'm actively using WiFI, but disconnects nevertheless). I'm using the official download from HTC website
ROM 2.25.11.1 WWE
Date 5/6/06
Radio 02.25.11
Did a Hard Reset with no change in behavior. I'm using 802.11g (linksys WRV54G v2.37 firmware) and I had no WiFi issues using old original ROM (1.something) that I got with my Cingular 8125. When Wifi disconnects, the phone dutifully connects to EDGE/GPRS correctly and works fine, but slowly of course, through GPRS.
I've tried both answers to "My Network connects to ..." (Work vs Internet)
I've tried turning off cell radio (flight mode; then WiFi turned On)
Hmmmmph ...
try with the 802.11e QoS > setting in OFF in the Pre N settings, I did that and it worked!!!
im having the same exact issue with my new rom, the old one worked gread with my D-link 614 +, now it sees it but i wont connect unless you reset the router. Does anyone have any solution for this?
thanks
I reflashed my belkin today to the same firmware, and my mda couldnt connect (wizard 200). Disabling 802.11e did work, which implies that there is a bug in the mda with handling of 802.11e.
It may be worth noting this somewhere else as well since it may be that more APs will fail when 802.11e is enabled.

Having just installed a wi-fi network in my house I though (bad idea) I'd buy myself a wi-fi card for my XDA II. Everything works fine, except fo course, the XDA side of things.
Ok, heres what I've done / got.
I have a Linksys Wireless-G Broadband Router which connects three PC's with no problems at all, in fact I would recommend it for it's ease of set-up. Got my wi-fi SD card thingy sticking out top of XDA II and it said all things I expected it to say, connecting to linksys using Work all the normal stuff. Now, heres the bit I hate, if I go into connections | Network Cards... To the Configure Wireless Networks bit, it says `Linksys... Available, great I though! Told it to connect and it says `connecting` then back to `available`!!!! The bloody light in the wi-fi card just sits thre blinking at me!
I've managed to connect twice, don't know how I did it, but if I disconnect, that's it, won't reconnect for love na money.
Any help would be really appreicated.
Thanks in advance.
i get the same problem at times - try taking the card out and reinserting
Tried that, and lots of warm reboots, two hard resets... I'm writing this on the xda, but it's only luck that it's connected!
I guess i get the same problem but less often it gets fixed more frequently. Do tell me about settings and your ROM version. Let me see if there is something obviously different that I am doing.
I had est Drivers
I had similar problems until I upgraded to the latest software – it was better but still not the best, I find it slightly more reliable if I switch the radio off before ejecting the card.

Ok, I'm connected! Here goes...
Rom 01.03.00. USA
Radio 01.05.12'
as for settings well, most are blank when i would expect something like work or internet, wep is enabled and err, thats about it. No vpn, no proxy and mostly no connection!
Interestingly i had great difficulty installing the SanDisk software when I had your version. I upgraded using the version at clubimate.com and that problem got fixed. In your case however, you are not having any installation difficulties (and clubimate wont accept your imei unless your phone was bought in the UAE/gulf region.
In my case, the proxy is set, and the card is supposed to connect automaticall to "all available". WEP is off.
Is the signal strong enough? Perhaps you are at the edge of the coverage and that explains the intermittent nature of things?
I am not sure if this helps but let me know and I will try to see how else your problem can be solved.
The signal must be strong, I've tried it within an inch of my access point! I have tried to connect in starbucks and the lobby of a hotel I know has a hot-spot, flashing is all I get! I can see the network's they appear as 'available' but that's all. I haven't been able to connect to my home network since yesterday!!!
I could get violent, and I thought bluetooth was a pain!
I got the same problems until I've updated the drivers for the SD WiFi from Sandisk.
It's still not plug&Play as I thought it to be but much better. If does not work just when I plug in the card a soft reset ill do.
The latest version is from Oct. 2003 I think
802.11b/g Bug??

I read somewhere that SanDisk SD WiFi card would connect reliably to a 802.11b router but the combo 802.11b/g router created problems. SanDisk was talking of needing an asic change??
Anyone confirm this as I just got a SanDisk SD WiFi card for my XDA2 and am now researching whether to get a 802.11b or 802.11g wireless router at home.
I have the G router from Linksys, but I get the same problems at a friend's house and he has the B one....
Latest SanDisk SD WiFi Card Drivers
Just checking ...
The latest SD WM2003 driver, V60 (Oct/03) at their website contains the following:
Network Driver
- V3.00.04.02.0030 dated Sep.8, 2003
Config Utility:
- V3.00.04.2.0060
NIC Firmware
- V1.07.06.00
Is this considered the latest SanDisk SD WiFi drivers to you all?
D-Link DI-624 802.11g High-Speed Wireless Router
I'm thinking of getting this router and it's wireless pc card (DWL-G650) for my laptop.
Anybody had success/failures with the XDA2 SanDisk SD WiFi card connecting to this router?
Yep, that's the latest version.
I'm using it with no major problems except what I've described above.
Just a quick update.
I don't know what happened but since I've installed pocketWiNc the SanDisk Wi-Fi SD is just a brill ! :lol:
I just pop it in and within 3-4 seconds I'm online.
Could it be that that SW manages the card better ?
Touch wood anyway....

I have a Buffalo router (b and g combo). the sandisk card connects with occaisonal exceptions.
Here's the Scoop on D-Link Router & SanDisk SD WiFi
Well I just rx'd all the components for my home wireless network:
1) D-Link DI-624 Super G Router
2) D-Link DWL-G650 Super G Cardbus Adapter
3) SanDisk SD WiFi card for my XDA2
Got some interesting stuff to share with ya'll.
The SanDisk WiFi would not connect to the router. After talking with SanDisk tech support, they state they only support connections to 802.11b routers and not 802.11b/g routers. I was ready to return the D-Link router. I called D-Link tech support shoping to find out if I could disable the g and only run b (802.11). No way. A 2nd D-Link tech called me 10 min later and had a solution. Update the router firmware from 2.25 driver to the latest version 2.28 and then disable the Super G mode. Voila! SanDisk WiFi connects without a problem at 801.11b (11MB/s). The laptop connects to the router at 802.11g (54MB/s). Cool.
I'm using 64-bit WEP hex encryption. Using www.texan.net/speed.htm I get ~420Kbps (50K bytes/sec). Not bad. I'm using Time Warner's RoadRunner cable service with a Motorola BitSurfer modem. Using www.bandwidthplace.com, I clocked the router/cable connection at 2.7Mb/s. This web site doesn't seem to work on a pda.
Anyway, nuff said. In summary, there is a way with the new D-Link super-G router to have your XDA2 WiFi B cake and eat it too!

Good post - there's hope for the rest of us who are having problems with the Sandisk Wi-Fi card and D-Link routers/access pts.
I'm attempting to use the Sandisk SDWSDB-000 Wi-Fi card in my XDA2 at home. At home I've got a D-Link DI-704P router with a DWL-900AP+
I can *sometimes* get a connection to my network. However this is only occasionaly. I get a great connection on my neighbours Airport though !
Any ideas? I've looked into firmware for my router. It says that I'm running Firmware version: 2.61 build 2. Strange that the D-Link website shows the lastes as being Firmware 2.57b3 2/7/2002. :?:

I suspect the SanDisk WiFi SD Card may have problems with any manufacturers 802.11g router, not just D-Link. An innovative home techie user happen to "stumble" on the combination that made his SanDisk WiFi card work with the D-Link g router. Kudos to him.
I'm not familar with your D-Link products. My only suggestion would be to ensure you have the latest firmware for your hardware revision. i.e. the DI-704P has 3 hardware revisions: A, B & C. Drivers are unique to a hardware version. Ensure you have the right firmware.
Then look at the options in the firmware setup and experiment with turning things off to see if your SanDisk wifi connection improves. Can you disable any g performance aspects?
I looked at the D-Link website, the DI-704P router is not even wireless???
"The D-Link DI-704P is an Ethernet Broadband Gateway with a built-in four-port switch plus a print server function. The DI-704P provides the ability to share a single Ethernet Cable or DSL broadband connection and share a single printer among computers connected to the local network. The DI-704P is equipped with four 10/100Mbps Fast Ethernet ports and a bi-directional LPT port to support a direct printer connection. The DI-704P´s integrated Router and Firewall provide NAT, DHCP, and packet filtering services between the local network and the Internet. The DI-704P is targeted at small business and home users who want to connect multiple computers and share a single printer."
Dude, there's no 802.11 anything on this router. Maybe that's why you can't connect your SanDisk card?
Good luck on this one.
cshields1 - you're right about the DI-704P router. It's not wireless. It just enables me to share a broadband cable connection. I plug the router into the DWL-900AP+ which is a wireless access point (801b-only).
I followed your suggestions about the firmware for both these items. They were certainly out of date as I'd never updated them since I purchased them well over a year ago. Now I've got the latest firmware for my items (which are both hardware type 'B').
Still no joy with the Sandisk card ! However the internet on my laptop is faster than ever. I've passed it on to Sandisk technical support - along with the link for this thread - so we'll see how it goes. I'll let you know. Cheers dude - philg :wink:
Hi,
I've just got my MDA PRO: so far I love it and hate it.
Its works ok in gprs and 3g mode. The wifi has worked for 3 occassions, it never connects properly after it is switched back on again. Now I can't get a stable connection at all.
I have a standard 802.11b access point. It has proved to be very reliable in the 3 years I have had it. Everything can connect to it, bar the MDA PRO.
I have tried setting the AP to 1-13. Doesn't make any difference.
I have used 128bit bit and no WEP.
The AP is 1m (3 feet) away, so no problems with a weak signal.
The firmware is standard, see below for version.
I have done soft and hard resets.
For me wifi is essential.
Can any one help ? I have tried to collect some of the other ROMs from the ftp server, but most don't seem to be available.

You should update your radio rom. I am using the MDA Pro with my Wifi router (WEP enabled). No issues at all.
What Radio ROM are you suggesting?
I too have problems with wifi and my belkin when set with 128bit encryption.
It works fine on my mates Belkin with no security.
Frustrating YES!
found solution
I've fixed my wireless problem - my old wireless router is failing, I found my laptop was dropping the connection too. So I went and bought a new Linksys WRT54GS. Very happy with it, works with all my wifi gadgets with significantly better signal strength too. I've got it working in WEP, b & g mode.
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

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.
please if someone finds a solution (patch) for this problem post it to this thread.
still there?

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.

Lucky... Mine did not connect anymore, flashed black majik over schaps3.6 and voilla! worked again... without touching the router.... Will try last schaps tonight.... I´m tired of flashing and reinstalling....
I have recently upgraded fromt he Blekin Pre N router to the Belkin N router at work. Now for some reason my Athena refuses to connect to it. I know the router works fine because my laptop connects without any issues. I have the router configured to broadcast as B, G, and N on channel 10. The Athena sees the router just fine but it refuses to connect to it. At home my Netgear G router connects flawlessly along with the old Pre N (before it broke). I was reading an article about someone having the same issues and said he flashed his N router to look like it was a Linksys, but the person didn't get into details as to how this was done. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance
this is completely the wrong place as it is a router issue not a phone issue, but I don't care im just telling it like it is.
The only way doing what your proposing would work is if the 2 routers (belkin and linksys) were fundamentally the same, (which is possible as it would not be the first time a rouer Mfr has made a router for somebody else). you need to be very careful though and find out which linksys router tallys up with your belking, as flashing the wrong firmware will turn your router into a fancy doorstop ! (although it is still under warrany so I guess you could return it to the store). in reality you want to be patient and wait for belkin to release the same firmware update for their router, it probably wont be long, as they are probably just waiting to get it through from linksys, but with all the linksys branding removed and belkin branding put in its place.
So in the mean tme there is no work around?
I have a similar experience recently, and it's very specific to the Belkin routers and the Athena.
I have the Belkin Pre-N router, and it works fine with my HTC Wizard and Kaiser, as well as all my computers connected to it.
However, when I received my new x7501 recently, it would not connect to the Belkin router. The Athena would see the Belkin, but it would not connect. I assumed I had a defective WiFi circuit in the Athena, but HTC support sugested I try the Athena on another WiFi network. I did so, and to my surprise, it connected.
Fortunately, I have two routers, and I re-enabled the Linksys B/G router and my Athena works fine with it.
It's interesting that ToolTalk found the Pre-N Belkin worked with his Athena, maybe I just need to get the newset firmware for my Pre-N, and it will work with my Athena.

Yes I did update the Pre N to the latest firmware. To be quite honest that router's pretty cool. Came back this past Monday from the wk end break and it would not connect and external HD connected to it would not show on the network. Hence, I went out to get the new Belkin N router. This was the reason for the upgrade. Had I known it would've been an issue I would've got a Netgear instead. Unfortunately I can't let the boss know that I want to return the router because my phone won't connect to it's WIFI (lol). However I might try and get the Pre N working again and withing the 15 day return period. Thanks for the heads up hopefully, Belkin or HTC comes out with a work around.
I'm glad you started this thread ToolTalk. I just updated the firmware in my Pre-N router, and my Athena connects to it now.
I prefer only having one wireless router in the house to avoid interferrence. So, this is good.

Glad I could be of assistance bud, and as soon as I get the N working I'll post and let you guys know about it.
Ok I have search a good bit online surfing the net, and 3 calls to Belkin 3 calls to T-mobile and nothing. Now my wifi works everywhere else, and my labtops connect just fine to the router but it seems like the Belkin N has something blocking it (even tried a shadow with original ROM and would not connect). So I took all the security opitions off along with the firewall and it still failed to connect. If anyone has any solutions or ideas I am willing to try. Thanks guys

It is set for B/G/and N. And i dont know about the mac security set-up. But I have tried setting it to just G or B and N and nothing. Tell me more about this mac security set-up.
There is nothing wrong with your phone. The shadow/juno has an internal wireless card that only supports b/g wifi and it's currently not compatible with n radio signals. It will work perfectly with b/g wireless networks. So, if your router has a b/g/n setting, set it to that, but do not set the security settings into a newer format, stick with wep2 or wep and it should work with no problem. If you leave it on n setting only, the internal wireless card in the shadow will not support it. You also have to remember that n wireless is not that widely used and its barely catching on. Many new electronics are still being made with b/g internal wireless cards because they are widely avaliable and come in smaller sizes suitable for phones like the shadow. Currently n wireless cards are fairly expensive and i doubt it will be made avaliable on phones anytime soon as cost would be too high for manufacturing. Hope this helps.

Ok I understand that but I have tried that already with all my security off set on just G/B and by them self's also and it still will not connect. I went threw all of this on the phone with T-mobile and Belkin. But I appreciate the help.

i have the same problem
d*mn!
has anyone sort this thing out yet?
i have the same issue using stock TMO's ROM...
Just for the sake of discussion, I'm assuming that all of you have T-Mobile Shadow phones that work fine with other wireless routers or public access points? Any problems when turning on security settings on other wireless networks (those that you or your friend can manage)?
If the problems persist with other wireless networks while using your Shadow, chances are that your Shadow's wireless card is faulty, which is not unheard of.
Please comment on your phone's status.
Also, which model of Belkin N router are you all having problems with?
All N routers are typically backward compatible so setting them to mixed mode (B/G/N) would not affect the Shadow's Wifi capabilities.
AC, there's never a wep2...I guess you meant WPA & WPA2.
scenarios
First scenario:
Home
NETGEAR 802.11g/b WIRELESS ROUTER WITH WPA-PSK
RESULTS: fine.. shadow is working great on TMO's and erofich's rom
Second scenario:
GirlFriends HOUSE
NEXXT WIRELESS 802.11g/b WIRELESS ROUTER WITH WEP (cheap stuff)
RESULTS: Excellent, shadow is working fine on both roms
Third Scenario
MACDONALDS ROUTER
UNKOWN ROUTER WITHOUT SECURITY
RESULTS: FINE... Shadow gets connection.
----------------------------------------------------------
Last Scenario
OFFICE
Belkin N-Wireless Router F5D8233-4v3(01) with latest firmware update
Result: No way to get Shadow connected. Even WIthout Encryption, MAC address control off, B & G & N bands, UPNP Off, but my laptop does get WiFi Connection (just 11g compliant WiFi card)
Just to point out, I have the same problem with my Belkin Wireless N router. In the office, I can jump onto our Netgear Wireless N router without a problem. I also have no problem jumping onto any free McDonalds networks, the networks at friends' places, or the free network in the CambridgeSide Galleria out here near Boston. This is definitely not an isolated issue. Nobody with a Shadow can get on my home network.

I have an HTC Touch that can connect to other hotspots, but not to my home Belkin router. Sometimes, if there is another connection available, it can see the router, and says that it is Available, but cannot connect; other times it won't even see it. I have checked for firmware updates, but I have the latest. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Lilburd,
Thank you for contacting Belkin Technical Support.
We understand that the HTC Touch does not connect to the router. We apologize for the inconvenience caused.
Please follow the steps given below to update the firmware and configure the router:
We recommend that you update the firmware from a computer that is connected to the router with an ethernet cable.
Please download the latest firmware on the router from the link given below. Download the file "3.01.29":
http://www.belkin.com/uk/support/article/?lid=enu&pid=F5D8233uk4&aid=10288&scid=0
and save it to the computer.
- To update the firmware, log on to the router`s web interface by typing in http://192.168.2.1 in the address bar of the browser. The computer should be
connected to the router with an ethernet cable.
Note: If you have changed your Router’s IP address, use that IP address.
- By default, the password is blank. Click the "Submit" button.
- Click on "Firmware Upgrade" under the option "Utilities".
- Click on “Browse” and select the bin file that you have downloaded.
- Click on “update” and follow the wizard.
- After updating the firmware, restore the router to factory defaults by clicking on "Restore Factory Defaults" under "Utilities".
- Reconfigure the router.
Please follow the steps given below for configuring the router:
- Connect the computer to the "LAN" port on the router and connect the modem to the Internet/"WAN" port, using Ethernet cables.
- Take a paper clip, insert the paper clip in the reset hole of the router and hold it for 15 seconds.
- The power light will flash and then come back "ON" solid, indicating that the router is being restored to factory defaults.
- The corresponding lights on the front of the router should be lit up.
- On the computer, check if you have an IP address in the range of 192.168.2.x.
- If not, specify a static IP address, gateway and "DNS" address by following the steps given in the link-
http://web.belkin.com/support/kb/kb.asp?a=2824
- Log on to the router web interface by typing in http://192.168.2.1, in the address bar of your browser.
- By default, the password is blank.
- Click on "Connection Type" in the left hand column under "Internet WAN" heading.
If the connection type is Dynamic (cable):
- Choose "Dynamic" and then click on "Next".
- Type in your “Host Name”, if your Internet Service Provider has provided it. Else, leave it blank.
- Click on "Change WAN MAC Address".
- Click on the button "Clone".
- Click on "Apply Changes".
If the connection type is PPPOE (DSL):
- Choose "PPPOE" and click on "Next".
- Enter the user name and password given by your Internet Service Provider.
- Save the settings.
- Click on the "Home" link at the top of the screen.
Internet Status should show "Connected" on the top right hand corner of the web page.
If the problem persists, please get back to us with the following information:
1. Type of connection provided by your ISP (Is it PPPOE, Dynamic or static).
2. Name of the Internet service provider (ISP).
3. Version number of the router. You would find the version number on the bottom of the device. It would be a number in a series of thousands with a prefix “ver.”.
4. If the internet connection is stable on the computers using the router?
5. If the HTC Touch detects and connects to other networks in the neighborhood?
Lilburd, if you need further assistance please feel free to write back to us and we will be happy to assist you.
Regards,
Belkin Technical Support.

The same happened to me. I also have a Belkin pre-n router and my HTC Tytn wouldn't get wifi, no matter how or what I tried. I read your comment yesterday and, although the no-so-great new firmware check utility on the web interface said there was no new firmware available, I checked the USA and UK sites, since the Spanish site doesn't even show this router anymore. I downloaded 3.01.29 from the USA site and now my HTC Tytn is getting wifi at last. Thanks a lot, you saved my day.
