WiFi Problems on SPV M600

Hi, I hope someone can help me. I have a Belkin Wireless G router and an Orange SPV M600. I have tried to connect my SPV to the router with mixed results. If I disable my WPA-PSK I can connect with no problems in both B and G, as soon as I re-secure the router my SPV won't connect. I have ensured that the PSK is correct and tried the speeds at only B and only G. In the menu it says that my network is available then after 2 attempts to connect it then says that the network is unavailable. As you can appreciate I don't want to run my router unsecured.
All advise gratefully received

Hi,
Do you have the same problem with an other device like a laptop ? You may have a problem with you router ?

try using wep or mac filtering or both, both are very reliable. i have had mixed results with WPA on mobile devices (and printers).

I have ran into this problem as well. I have a Netgear WNR834B router ("N" router). I have to set it to b/g in order for my 8525 to connect. Otherwise, it just sits there for awhile saying it's connecting and then gives the same unavailability error.
Hmm.did you find a solution?

Hi,
I haven't resolved the problem with my router. The router works fine with laptops and only my phone won't connect. The interesting thing is, when I go to other peoples houses where they run wi-fi I don't have a problem connecting even with WPA. Thanks for the replies, hopefully someone will turn up with a solution.

Others have had the same problem and solved here,

I have been unable to fix with my wanadoo router though.

T-Mobile MDA Vario not connecting to WiFi

I just got a "new" T-Mobile MDA Vario (UK), and after starting it, everything seems to work fine.
But when trying to connect to wireless networks, it finds them okay, but never connects to them. It just alternates between "Connecting" and "Available" in the network list.
My laptop and the other PC in the house connects to our and other WiFi networks fine, so it must be a problem with the Vario.
I've tried a factory reset with the same results.
Any suggestions what might be wrong or what might fix it?
The OS is apparently 1.3.2.2 if that helps.
Thanks in advance!

had this a couple of times. my work router here worked fine after i rebooted the router.
but some networks i havent been able to get on to.
What encryption is your wireless access point/router running? and what brand is it?

Thanks for the reply.
It's a Linksys router, using a WEP security pass, but it won't connect to other branded routers either (local unprotected neighbourhoods ones (A Belkin, for example) that the laptop and PC can connect to just fine).
With the old XDA Mini S I used to use, it connected to the network fine then asked for the WEP Key, but this one just never connects. I've tried going into the network info and putting in the WEP Key, and it stores it and gives no 'Wrong Password" error, but still never connects.

I've upgraded the ROM to the latest official T-Mobile one (2.21.2.6 WWE) to see if that would help, but I still have the same issue.
Is switching to the I-Mate K-Jam or O2 XDA Mini S ROM simply a matter of installing it the same way I would a T-Mobile ROM update, or will that brick the phone?
My old XDA Mini S never had this issue, and I've read of a few people using the MDA Vario having the same problem, so I'm assuming it's a problem with the T-Mobile ROMs/software?

Bump.
Anyone got any ideas/suggestions?
Thanks in advance.

I am having the same problem. I downloaded the lastest upgrade from the T-mobile site and was still not able to connect to the internet with wifi.
And suggestions would be greatly appreciated

I tryed with T-mobile 2.26 ROM. I like to connect to my desktop pc, with ad-hoc mode. As I remember, I could connect, but the PDA didn't accept the IP address and other network settings, that provided the dhcp server. (WinXP internet connection sharing) I checked this with vxUTIL. Connection didn't work even if I setup the IP address, gateway, and DNS server manually.
I upgraded to WM6 and now the thing work well.

I've the same issue, but also noted that the device already connects to dlink routers, linksys ones's didn't work, previously with the original ROM from CINGULAR 8125 the linksys worked fine now they don't.... i recently upgraded my phone to wizard love for G4's so it's not only a tmobile issue.

WPA-PSK / AES encryption

Ok I have Helmi's WM6 ROM and I am desperately trying to find a way to get the wireless functionality to connect to a router at work which *must* negotiate via WPA-PSK / AES.
Is there *any* way I can get my device to negotiate via AES, I can only see TKIP.
Thanks in advance
John

I have tried searching the forums for "AES" but no posts were returned, which is odd. I have also tried searching for encryption but there doesnt seem to be any relevant posts.

because i think that the device does not support it

Thanks xplode, I feared as much. One would hope that it would be possible in software, and that the wireless network layer would be upgradable via software.

Which router do you have? Most of them can be set up to allow either AES or TKIP or a combination of both...

Poga,
I can connect to my router at home without any issues whatsoever, however it is the router at work that I can not connect to. I have no control over the authentication methods of the router, and the sysadmin will not change the protocols to suite my wireless tastes.
Ho hum

I've recently upgraded my BA to WM6, and without making any changes to my wifi router (Netgear DG834G v3), it now will NOT connect! I was and still am using WPA/TKIP security.
Previously on the original vanilla Orange SPV M2000 WM2003SE o/s it connected fine.
Interestingly, if I disable all wireless security on my router, the BA connects up just fine.
Downgrading back to WM2003SE does not restore WPA/TKIP connectivity to my router.
I've tried a couple of Helmi's WM6 roms and am currently running DVH's WM6 5.60.01 build 18548 with the same frustrating results.
All my WM6 upgrades on my HTC Tytn (SPV M3100) don't have any issues with wifi connectivity. Odd...
I'm pretty sure it's not the router as I've tried it with a 2Wire ADSL access point too and it's the same.
Any ideas guys?

Same thing is happening to me... No WPA connectivity.
No security in router and all OK

WPA on BA
Actually the devise supports it! But there are no drivers!
As I had WM5, WPA-PSK worked fine, but in WM6 it is not implemented...
Just a question, would it be possible to import and use WM5 drivers and what esle necessary, from WM5 to WM6?

In WM5 It worked OK thats right!!
Is the drivers the answer to the problem?

the drivers we use in any WM6 rom are from WM5 so it is understandable to not work quite well
here WPA-PSK with TKIP encryption is working just fine - my router is Linksys WRT54GC
AES encryption is not supported by the BA WLAN Driver

The hardware of the BA dor Wifi ins't the same as any other PDA device?
Can we copy the drivers from another device to our beloved BA?

i don't think so, if it was that easy my roms would not have wlan issues at all

nice one xplode!! dum coment

Problem connecting to Cisco router

I have several imate Jamin and SP5 (HTC Prophet, Tornado), and i've used them without much trouble for the last coupe of years. We used a Linksys router to connect via wifi and it worked well, but know we bought a Cisco 851w router and the devices don't connect to it. They receive the SSID, but if we try to connect to the router, it just doesn't happen.
The devices are flashed with an official i-mate WM5 ROM.
Does anyone has any idea what the problem maybe? I've read that the CCX Cisco extension has caused some problems with others HTC devices, but i don't knonw if this router uses CCX and if it does how to disable it.
Any help is welcomed.

Help with WIFI on O2 Atom

I am trying to enable AES encryption on O2 atom so that I can connect to Office Lan using WPA-AES. Currently only seeing TKIP option.
By the way, I am using WM5
Can any one please help or suggest alternatives.

I have tried playing the wireless connection function of an ATOM black with a router the other day. The router is working properly which is being shared by few clients, and was set up with WPA-PSK (with either AES or TKIP); hence, I configure the ATOM black with WPA and TKIP but it kept connecting and disconnecting. Finally, I disabled the encryption with both router and ATOM and tried again. This time, the two devices talked to each other. Put the encryption back to the devices but failed the connection again. Think that WM5 is not geared up with wireless encryption. **Have not tried the OPEN, SHARED nor WPA though** --- Julian

Upgraded to WM6 still no WIFI access
Hi
Thanks for julian to try and help.
Since it was not working on WM5, i installed WM6.1 ROM on my phone using file PDAVIET_ROM_WM61_OS20755_ATOM_Sonblack.exe. Still I do not have ability to connect to my WIFI network. I see that under Network settings, even now for WPA and WPA-PSK only TKIP is listed.
Error i get is : "Network requires you a personal certificate to positively identify you"
My friend has HTC touch with same settings as mine and he can connect to WIFI. Is the O2 atom missing some modules. I find that my friend's mobile has AES encryption along with TKIP even though TKIP is being used.
How can I install WPA2 on the above ROM. That is one thing that HTC touch shows which my phone does not have as well.
Regards

I have not been following up the thread with PDAVIET WM6.1. So I cannot comment your problem.
You may want to access the following thread hope it will give you hint on your certificate problem.
Good luck,
Julian

I have the same problem anyone help?
