Wifi Problems with M3100 and Orange Livebox - 8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General

Hey
I've been trying to connect to the internet through my Orange Livebox using a WiFi connection from my SPV 3100.
I tried all settings but couldnt connect to the Livebox at all.
I found a post about using a static IP to connect on another forum this actually had success in that it actually managed to connect to the Livebox and the internet but after a certain period the connection randomly seems to drop and after a while doesnt connect at all.
I havent changed any of the settings on the Livebox, I've tried almost everything on the M3100 but to no success.
If anyone has had success achieving this could they please let me know how they managed to do it.
All help appreciated and thanks in advance

Has you livebox got a button on it? If it has its the pairing buttonn... You need to hold that when pairing... I know you had to do that on the old wanadoo liveboxes...

Yes it has and i have been using it as per the instructions.
Thanks for your help
Has any1 else managed to use their SPV M3100 to access the web thru their Orange Unlimited Livebox if you have managed it can you please let me know how u managed it.
Thanks in advance again

Hi,
I have managed to get my 3100 working with my Orange Livebox.
Make sure you have pressed the pairing button on the livebox.
I found that I had to change the settings on my phone in the 'Configure Network Authentication' section to :
Authentication - OPEN
Data Encryption: WEP
and then enter the WEP key found on your Livebox.
Hope this helps,
Mark

Thanks Mark
I've done that already to no avail
Was there by chance anything else you did to the settings?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
The above worked for me. I entered my key in capitals

Thanks everyone after some trial and error tests in a different environment i found the problem to be nothing more malicious than a simple Livebox wireless channel clash where i'm using the box is pretty densely residential and i think the sheer number of wireless networks made it impossible for my SPV 3100 to connect using the default wifi channel 1 after picking an ubscure channel (11 i think) i've had no problems and am actually posting this message using my 3100 through a wifi connection to my Livebox
Thanks again everyone

Connecting to Wanadoo livebox

Hi there,
Anyone know how to connect XDA Exec to Wanadoo Livebox. I asked WANADOO and they are not interested!
Thanks for your time
noone else got wanadoo wireless?
well if noone here knows im stuck! damn wanadoo!
I guess it'd help if we knew what you're talking about Is Wanadoo Livebox some kinda Wanadoo-branded WiFi access point or something?
The Exec accepts the same WiFi access control parameters as a PC, so whatever works for your PC should work for the Exec too, I'd have thought. :?:
Dunno what else to suggest. Perhaps you could describe the problem?
Hi ross360,
Once I successfully connected my XDA Exec to Wanadoo Livebox. After installing corporate mode i can't connect anymore.
It's simple but painful as well.
Try these steps:
System->Wireless LAN
It will start searching for network, at this point press (1) button in live box to make it in Pairing mode. If network is detected then you need to enter WEP Key (26 characters), and user name and password.
cheers
hi guys,
thanks for getting back to me. wanadoo have a wifi access point called livebox. yes its crap so don't even think about getting one. when i activate wifi on my exec, it finds wanadoo straight away no probs, then asks for a WEP key. this is written on the underside of the actual livebox. i tried to enter the nember but it don't work. wanadoo said stop wasting our time, what do we care!
maybe someone could go through the settings pls
thanks for your time!
ok,
after messing about i get it working. the pairing mode worked. everyone please aviod wanadoo!
i got the same reply from them and no matter what i try in the settings it doesnt allow me to connect

Having Problems Connecting with Wifi!

I have a MDA PRO
Rom Version: 1.12.42 wwe
Radio : 1.08.00
Protocol: 42.41.P8
Ext rom: 1.12.126 WWE
What I want to do: I am trying to connect to the internet using pocket internet explorer using my wifi network at home and not GPRS.
The problem: I go to 'Settings' >>"connections" tab >> 'Network Cards'>> "wirelss" tab
It displays my wifi connection and it says "available" so I {tap and hold} and select 'connect'. It then states that it is 'connecting' but it doesnt connect and reverts back to saying that my network is "available'.
What am I doing wrong? Do I have to set up something on my pc? Any additional settings on my Universal that i should initiate?
I tried searching the forum with no luck in finding someone with the same problem. Is there a thread with a guide that can help me out. Thanks for your time.
soft reset the phone
then no need to go into settings
on today screen (main screen) touch the "G" at the top
it will ask you if you want to activate wifi
select
it should connect automatically
I have exactly the same problem with my M5000.
Can anyone help?
Are your home wireless networks protected (eg WEP or WPA) ? If so - and I would hope so - then are you using the applicable WEP/WPA settings and key when trying to connect ?
Worth also trying to set the IP address manually on the PDA, see if this helps ?
For me, the first thing to do when experiencing wireless probs is to temporarily disable any encryption and see if it works then.....and then re-enable, carefully inputting key etc.

What happened there ! :roll:
On the Blue Angel, it was simple - you just set up a new connection, enter the PSK, connect and off you go!
On the Universal, however, I'm having no joy. I've set up the WEP and PSK stuff and the PDA can connect to the network, but when I try and open IE it opens up GPRS. Also, PC Anywhere only works via USB - again, it won't connect via WiFi. I'm sure it's just a case of adjusting some settings but I don't know which ones!
Wifi Connection Problems
Hi I'm experiencing exactly the same problems trying to connect.
I have a Wanadoo Livebox and my xda exec.
I've tried with my connection both unsecured and with 128bit wep encryption using the correct wep key....I still get connecting, followed by available, repeated continuously?
I have the xda set to connect to "the internet" and the authentication to "open". Key index is 1.
Can anyone help?
Thanks
Tim
Wifi Connection Problems
Hi, Just a bit more info...
Encryption is set to "wep"
Mac address is associated with the livebox.
802.1x is ticked to use IEEE 802.1x network access control.
EAP type is Smart cCard or Certificate
Thanks

Rom version 1.13.82 WWE
Rom date 11/30/05

I just checked (with my Blue Angel) that the router and everything else is working and I'm happy to say it all is.
I set up the new connection on the BA from scratch - WPA-PSK enabled, nice long PSK, and I'm using TKIP. Network connects to: The Internet.
This allows me to remote up to the PC via PC Anywhere, and allows me to connect to the 'Net for free via the WiFi router.
When I duplicate the settings on the Universal, neither of the above works. What am I doing wrong?
Help!
You haven't got mac address filtering enabled on your router, and have forgotten to add your Universal's mac address to the list, have you?
Cheers,
Steve.
No, it's disabled.
hehe i had this problem tonight and was going to post up.
Has your router got MAC-control or anything on it? My SSID is not set to broadcast so I put the settings in manually.
I deleted the settings, and put them in manually again a few times, making sure I had the encryption stuff set correctly.
Eventually it connected and now seems to be working fine.

Ad Hoc?
Ok, I've tried every possible combination possible and nothing is helping. So my next question to get around this problem>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Can I use my pc as a ad-hoc and us it as my gateway for my Universal?
I have a pc in the office down the hall with the actually wireless router, I have a pc in my room that is accessing the wireless router from the office.
Please let 'US' know if you have tried ad hoc or if you find the right settings to connect to the main wireless router.
Thank you
I am on my wifi network typing this, and my settings show 802.1x network access control not having a tick and network adapter connected to Work......on my iPaq hx4700 before, I used these same settings as they seemed to work well, although it ran WM2003SE not WM5.....
All this said, however, but I was lucky in that my MDA Pro connected to my wifi network at the first attempt - except not with as strong a signal as the iPaq had.....
Wifi Settings
Can anyone who has connected okay, let us have their full settings, so that we can try them?
Is your Router set 802.11g only?
You need to set the router to accept 802.11b and 802.11g.
If your router will only output at 54g, you could try the hack to switch the universal to 54g. I am yet to try this so I don't know if it works.
My MDA Pro connected straight out of the box once I set the ssid and encryption.
Hope this helps

I've been on the phone talking to 3rd line support at Orange.
Basically, the guy is totally flummoxed!
After trying to talk me through the setup from memory, it seems as though a whole menu of WiFi settings has disappeared from the phone - specifically, the ones that we need! This being the case, he's going to get hold of an M5000 tomorrow and will then bell me back so we can go through the whole process together, both of us using an M5000.
One thought that did occur to me was this: I've only just (like, 3 days ago!) upgraded to the M5000 and I've taken on some kind of free Internet access scheme with my tariff. Could it be that the settings for that (that are sent by Orange in a data SMS) have knackered the WiFi setup?
I'm considering a hard reset with a soft reset before the .CAB files install but will at least wait until tomorrow.
I'll keep you all posted....

Wi Fi connection on SPV M600
Hi, did you ever manage to sort this problem? I have just bought one of these and am experiencing the same difficulties as you.
Any help appreciated
Thankyou
Hi guys.
Little silly question:
What are the settings on your router?
If this is your home network then you typed in the WAP or WEP key to set it up. Otherwise, you don't need one.
Have you even tryed to read the manual? It helps.
wifi connection problems
Hi, maybe i should've explained more
I am trying to connect to my wifi router at home (netgear). My m600 has found the the signal. i tap on the network name and go to the CONFIGURE WIRELESS NETWORK screen,in the GENERAL tab i can see the SSID, i select THE INTERNET from the drop down menu next to "connects to", in the NETWORK KEY tab i set authentication to OPEN, Data encryption to WEP & then enter the network key.
I then go back to the CONFIGURE WIRELESS NETWORK screen and my m600 is trying to connect, then it will say AVAILABLE but not CONNECTED - why is this????
Also, it only stays AVAILABLE for about 30 seconds and then its status changes back to UNAVAILABLE
I really would be most grateful for any help in this matter
Thanks in advance , Jimmy
Sounds like you are typing the key wrong.
Make sure encryption type and key matches exactly the settings on your router.
Try disabling encryption on your router and see if you can connect.
M600 wifi connection problem
Thanks levenum - still no luck though
Although i have managed to connect to my neighbours unsecured network (very poor connection though)
Has wifi connection been explained indepth elsewhere? or am i the only unlucky (retarded) one? :roll:
Hang on a second, something I saw in the other thread (somewhere in Network forum):
You need to type the actual key (hex values) and not the pass phrase if you are using one.
Sorry, don't know any guides.
wifi connection problem SORTED!
Cheers levenum,
i dont wanna make myself look a complete idiot so i should say that i did have the proper key typed into the box at 64bit encryption
however, i changed it to 128bit encryption and it connected straight away
I have no idea why
I wonder what i'll be moaning about next??? :wink:

Wi-Fi help for Mini s XDA on O2/Wanadoo

I have two problems that are driving me to distraction. 1) I cannot find anybody that can tell me the correct settings for Mini xda connecting to my Wi-Fi wanadoo livebox. I have tried calling Wanadoo and O2 without success. I have tried connecting via WEP and entering the long 24 digit network key, but there is only space for 20 digits on the XDA.. Secondly I cannot disable GPRS as a default - apparently there is no way to do this apart from deleting the GPRS settings and I'd rather not. Any help/guidance gratefully received !!
Haven't got an answer for you on the Wanadoo question, but my livebox arrives in a couple of weeks so I'll keep an eye on this thread.
For your other question, my xda mini s will select wireless ahead of GPRS if it has a good enough connection. It only defaults to GPRS when wireless is off or not a strong enough connection. Sometimes, I think that it should be choosing wireless, but more often than not I find that the wireless connection has dropped out.
Does yours not work this way?
Mini XDA Wi-Fi
Hi
Your configuration sounds great, I cannot test this at the moment because I cannot get connected to the Wi-fi livebox. The livebox keeps asking me for a network key - I use the WEP key from the base of the livebox but it still will not connect, I have it set as WEP Shared access but to no avail. (Ironically my laptop connects OK to the livebox using WPA-PSK protocol, even though wanadoo tell me it will only work with WEP)
Unfortunately O2 do not support Wi-Fi and Wanadoo (orange) do not support mobile devices - so there is no help from anywhere.
Getting over the GPRS always connecting is quite easy, just set up a dummy network and get the browser to point to that when opening instead of the GPRS. However as I cannot get access to Wi Fi I cannot see if my xda operates in the same way as yours. I am just hoping that someone out there uses an xda via Wanadoo(Orange) and can give me the settings.....
Ok, I don't know about the Wanadoo, haven't seen this device until today (looks interesting though) but here is what I know about WEP/WAP keys on PPC devices:
You have to type the hex values, even if you are using a pass phrase on the router (the Wanadoo in your case).
Also XDA mini (Wizard?) should be able to connect with WAP-PSK so why not try same settings as your laptop.
Just a thought.
Thanks for the advice, however I have just had a breakthrough and it is now working great. I had to go into the router config settings and temporarily switch off the security settings. This proved to me that the XDA could accept WIFI, when I switched the security back on I entered the open access WEP key into the XDA and amazingly it worked!! Even better is that it seems to auto default to WI-FI when in range and GPRS when out of range. Lets hope it stays that way!!

SPV M3100 (SPL2.10 - Black Satin Rom WM6) - WIFI Issues

Hi People,
first of thanks for taking a moment to read this, i have searched every where and found bits and bobs but still no luck. Basically before upgrading to WM6 i had no problems with wi-fi, since upgrading i find it difficult to connect to my secured network.
My network uses a 64bit wep key (10 character key).. it picks up the network, but when setting up it won't connect and says unavailable. I have reset router, set the router up again and even new rommed the phone. Still no luck - i then tried an unsecure neighbours network wiht his permission, and it connected fine :S
any ideas?
or what to do?
Thanks
