WiFi Question

I currently don't have a data plan, however I wanted to take advantage of the 801.11b feature on my home network etc. Everytime I connect through WiFi, it tries to go through Cingular GPRS. Is there a way to get online through my network and not Cingular?

I too don't have a data package and also suffered constant unwanted GPRS connections. Since installing the new ROMs, which I assume don't come with the GPRS settings, WiFi works fine.

do I have to install the new ROM for WiFi to work? Where can I get this new ROM?

First, go to Settings, Connections, Advanced, Select networks, and change the first option to "My work network" and this will force it to go through Wifi.
When I had this problem, it still wouldn't work. For some reason, some routers need you to give them DNS info. Call your ISP and ask them what the IP address for their DNS server is. Put this in your router's DNS settings and it will work.
There is nothing wrong with the wifi in the Cingular ROM. A new ROM will not help you.

So this is close to the 'problem' I'm having. My MDA (t-mobile vario) latches on to a wifi network in the area, and I can't figure out how to change it to the network I want it to connect to (other than physically moving to a location that the other networks aren't available).
I always figured it would be listed in settings->wireless LAN. That seems to be display only (the entries are greyed out). Shouldn't there be a listing of detected networks? Shouldn't there be a way to enter a non-broadcasted SSID?

Well, pfft. I didn't search hard enough.
Settings->Connections->Network Cards

I understand what you are all saying but my experience with the I-mate Rom locked up my Router, the new Qtek rom worked first time. I didn't need to search for any settings.
:shock:

Same
Same here,
First connection no problem but if I want to connect a second time I need to Reset my AP.
Any suggestions.
tnx
specs:
Qtec 9100: 2.17.7.2 WWE
2.07.10
AP: D-link DWL-900AP+

Sorry can't help, mine works OK. Try Qtek Rom 2.17.7.2.WWE

No Wi-Fi APs detected?

Hello all,
I'm certain threads have addressed this problem, but... I can't seem to compile all the info and get my recently purchased wizard to connect to the web via my home network and I would like the possibility of connecting at the university.
So, here's the skinny: HTC wizard (cingular 8125) running Wizard Love and NBD WM 6.
On the boot screen I get: AKU 2.3; IPL and SPL:2.25.0001; radio:2.25.11; rom: 6.0.0.0. My carrier is Tmobile.
If my phone has this newer ROM and it takes calls on the Tmobile network it has been CID unlocked and SIM unlocked...right?
I can connect to tmobile via GPRS and browse the web (don't know if I have been paying for this though. I don't have a data plan), but I would really like to connect at home and on road at hotspots and networks that I have access to w/o the fear of a huge data bill.
Right now I can't see any networks with in the wireless network detection screen and I tried to add my home router manually to no avail. Nothing is recognized meanwhile my router and wireless pc card can see a bunch of networks including my city wide wifi.
So if someone would pretty please with all that jazz on top gimme a protocol for setting my phone to access/identify wireless networks that would be ab fab.
grazie,
P.S. I donated now so would some of the heavy hitters please drop knowledge
Phone: HTC wizard (cingular 8125)
ROM: Wizard Love WM 6.0.0.0. AKU 2.3;

Wifi Connected-ie Won't Surf -help!- Really Desperate Here!

I have a non branded TyTn, running on Schap's 4.31 ROM.
Now, this is the problem.
My TyTn locates a WiFI ntework and connects onto it.
Then, I start IE and try to load a page. But, in the progress bar stands ''Locating'' for some time and then it says ''Cannot locate the page. Try again later.''
And any other app using internet connection won't load. Like, Airscanner AntiVirus when I try to update.
I've tried loads of sonnection settings combinations, like, selecting My ISP, My Work network for ''Apps that connect to Internet should connect using''
Could anyone give me a fair solution or at least could someone who has got his IE to work to write down his connetion settings for me to try.
I am getting desperate, since the main reason for buying a TyTN was WiFI.
Someone suggested that I select My ISP, but there's catch: when enter to edit the My ISP, under the tab 'Modem' there is not a single connection listed even when I'm hooked up on a WIFI network. Should there be something in that list? Maybe that's the issue.
And in >start>settings>connestions there is no Network cards icon at all.
PLEASE, ANYONE!

depend on your network really
if you can check if gateway and dns are the same as
on your computer
and of cause if you are not getting your internet from the router
but from internet sharing your gateway could be required to be set
manualy to the computer sharing the internet

The problem is that it happens even on a wifi free spot, not only my home network.
How to setup gateway and dns on the phone?

One question: under My ISP, tab Modem, does any of you have listed the wireless modem of your device? I have absoluetly no modems listed there, maybe that's causing the problem. And when I try to add one, it offers me only Bluetooth, cell line, Cell line( GPRS, 3G), IrDA, Haynes compatible on COM1; no TIACXWLN1, which is the name for the wireless modem on TyTN.
Maybe, a different Radio ROM upgrade would help? Could it be the radio ROM?
My radio version is 1.48.00.10

I had the same problem as yours previously on my other PDAs and Smartphone.
I simply hard-reset the device or re-flash a ROM

Start> Programs> Proxy Manager
Disable your provider... Give that a go...

WIFI Not Working DCD'd and NEW Radio

Well I upgraded to DCD 3.2.4 and 3.42.50 radio rom. For some reason now I cannot get a connection through WiFi , it gives me errors such as: Cannot obtain a server assigned IP address. Try again later or enter and ip address in network settings. It also says it cannot connect to the network at times.
I am on the Verizon Wireless network. Thank you in advance for your help.
I started up WMWifiRouter after it not working the first time I installed it. I was was able to connect to a network but when I put up googlemaps or internet explorer the phone acts if im not even connected to the internet.

maybe your router is configured to not allow new wireless connections?! no problem here with connection, same rom/radio...

Check ur router for wireless internet sharing if its enabled ?

hi i am on the same ROM and radio settings (except Standard HTC unlocked ROM not VK) and i too had the wifi not connecting. I found that whenever i re-put in my wifi password it seemed to incorrectly save (more stars in the password box than letters in my password).
I found a hard reset has cleared the problem - have you tried that yet?
