router settings help with wifi - Networking

hi guys,
we have a wireless network at home with 4 laptops and 1 desktop which is the main computer connected to the netgear wireless router.
I have just purchased an o2 xdaiis, i tried connecting via wifi for 2 days with no success, then i decided to look at the settings on the router where i found the following
we had mode g which supports 802.11g
so i changed this to g+b which supports both 802.11g and 802.11b,i also had to change from channel 7 to channel 10 to get the laptops to work,but when doing this the main desktop didnt work,
this allowed me to connect with my xda and all laptops imediateley with excellent signal strengh,
The main desktop is my dads and he was not too happy when he came to connect so i had to put settings back to the original,
Could some one please help me with the connection on the main desktop computer with the g+b settings
Thanks in advance
Alan

there is a patch somewhere here that allows some of the phone (not sure about yours) to connect to g-mode (in b-speed). Try searching for it.
I wonder why the desktop is having problems with the new settings though.

activesync + pc w/wlan

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!

TyTN wireless problems

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.
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.

(SOLVED) Problems with Belkin N Wireless Router

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
(SOLVED WITH US FIRMWARE)

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.

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.
Belkin Response Nov 14 2008 22:18
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.

- 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.
This was the response I got when I e-mailed Belkin, and it worked like a charm

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.

HD2 WiFi problem **HELP**

Please help, ive had my hd2 for a few days now and have had nothing but problems, might just give it back!
It picks up my home router but simplify wont connect, it just displays a small rotating circle likes it working but nothings happening.
When i remove the settings and retype the key code it keeps saying incorrect code but it isnt,
Anyone any ideas, can i some how reset the wifi settings, its taken me a few days to customize the phone so i dont really want to do a hardwear reset. Ive already a software restset.
Bloody htc!
What protocal are you using on your router? WPA, WEP?
Oh if your using an older Belkin router, I know of about 3-4 models that used to have trouble with WinMo, an update Router flash fixes it though.
Give us some more info on your router etc and Im sure we can help though
Sure your using the right password/key? if it says its wrongs it is probably wrong lol. Maybe try changing it to a more basic password as a test? like "password" and see if it can get connect.

Hi
Calm down. Give some information about your router and the type of security You use.
try these
1. Reset the router once
2. If you use MAc access list on the router then add your device's MAC to the list.
3. If you use N router then in the settings untick N mode protection.
Give more details about the third party software on the hd2 using radios (eg: tomtom, igo,gpstuner like these)
Good luck
HI guys thanks for helping out.
Obvious first - yes the key code is correct i use it on my laptop and iphone.
security mode says WAP-PSK/WPA2-PSK. Its a siemens ive been on the ip server addres and cant see any issues, im on my laptop using the wifi now and its working perfet.
Ive tried everything, changing passwords, settings both on the router and on the phone.
The hd2 is full of really stupid bugs!
Try to hardreset the PPC.
If it won't work, try to update your ROM to the latest available.
If it doesn't want to work, then try to connect to another WiFi without password and see the connection is successful.
If it works with an unprotected WiFi, try to connect to a different router but with protected WiFi.
If it works, then there is a problem with your router and I suggest to update your router's firmware.
funny wifi
the problem wit my hd2 is most of the time it shows wifi connected but i cant surf the internet and sometimes out of the blues it connects to the internet,cant figure out wats happening....
HI kholk, thanks for the help, ill work my way through it and hopefully get it sorted!

Have you found the solution? I can help you my friend i had the same situation
I tried to connect yesterday my hd2 with my router. First it wasnt working aswell. Then i set the next things. Channel 9 (was auto), Encryption AES (was tkip and AES). Network mode is Mixed. Further have you installed Mac Filter? I installed this also. So if i have a connection thats it. I must fill in my macadres from my phone for i get fully connected.
Hi guys thanks all for you help call HTC UK support and their amazing advice was to do a full hard reset!
I really am having a lot of problems with this phone and i cant understand why their have been so many issues?!
Hi guys,
I have the same problem- HD2 shows it is connected, but no access to Internet(other- laptop, SE990 phone is connected and working OK)
For not to write about all, now situation is:
1. On router wrt54g2 temporary disabled wireless security, only mac filtering is on(laptop mac, SE mac, HD2 mac is allowed), router firmware is up to date
2.HD2 is like new after hard reset, no settings is done for connection to home network. HD2 wifi is on, looking for access points and connecting to only one available open network in my area- to my home network and shows it is connected but no access to Internet.
3. In router I can see all connected clients by mac. All 3(lap, SE, HD2) are connected. I use Network Magic software too but it is showing only my laptop and desktop are connected. SE is not connected according NM, but it is working OK.
P.S.
Do not know what else can help you in my problem(maybe some other router setting, but as other devices are connected without problems so maybe it is not important for now)
So only my HD2 can not access WWW
Can You guys help somehow please
I've got a similar problem with an HD2 over here. Wifi does switch on, but it just won't connect to my router. The cirkel that is supposed to show when connecting to a network doesn't show either. I'm using WPA2-AES security, and yes, i did use the proper network key. I haven't tried connecting to other networks/using an alternative encryption method because a lot of other devices will then have to be reconfigured and it's not my own place. My Touch HD and 2 laptop connect to the network without any problems. The only solution I came across until now is doing a hard reset, which I would rather not do... I'm using a stock dutch rom (V1.43). Is it possible that upgrading to the newer 1.48 will solve this problem?
Have you tried removing the wireless security password and trying again? Test to see if maybe you are indeed typing in the password wrong.
Also check your exception list on your router, it might be blocking any other devices coming in.
I have the same problem.. Get the spinning loading circle and thats it.. But if i turn my belkin wires g router running wpa2 off then straight back on again the phone connects fine. But if i then leave my house or disconnect from the network then try and reconnect it wont and have to do the same process again. Luckily im also running a speedtouch 585 modem router which the phone connects fine to.
hey maybe it takes only a WEP key and not WPA as most people have. this is certainly the case as mentioned in the Wifi router article below -
http://www.mobilityminded.com/5438/wi-fi-router-on-htc-hd2-application-overview
Again me
It seems that it is problem with my router. HD2 was able to connect to open wireless a.p. in my town and all sow to my friends router which is using WPA security. So my linksys is not compatible, or i will try some other settings on it, but as other router clients have no problems, i am loosing my hope to have my HD2 connected at home unless i change router. But then another problem- which router will be compatible with all my devices in prise range of 100$
And replying to blackheart2925 my friend is using wpa not wep, i do not know other settings on his router but it is not security problem.
One thing is strange for my HD2 shows it is connected, router shows mac of HD2 among connected clients, but only HD2 do not have access to internet

how are you connected to internet is it router which dials to isp or you have made a broadband dial up on your desk top ...
if you have dial up shortcut on desktop then you can not use internet via hd then change setting in router
better way is hard reset router and then reconnect hopefully it will solve your issue ..........

Router "dials" to my isp and share internet for all connected devices...
Yes, i am going to hard resset my router, but have not much hope i sucsess
PROB:
If your HD2 connects to router but you cannot enter any web site, do this:
SOLUTION:
enter your www router settings - wireless - access control - MAC Address Filtering Table ->>>>> add your HD2 MAC adress
enter your www router settings - firewall - access control ->>>>> add your HD2 MAC adress
so, you have to add your MAC adress of HD2 into router TWO TIMES into TWO PLACES!
I had the same problem and..... solved

[Q] WiFi Problems AFTER Internet Sharing

This is an embarrassing question for two reasons. First, I’m sure it’s a simple answer that is just getting past me. Second, every search string I try comes up with dozens of pages talking about setting up Internet Sharing, none that I could find addressing my problem. After reading through numerous pages and double checking the terrific collection of FAQs that mmalka put together for the Rhodium Energy ROM, I decided to ask here.
My problem is with connecting to the Internet through a WiFi connection on my TP2 AFTER having used the Internet Sharing app.
I use WiFi at home all the time and I never have any issues setting it up after flashing – this time was no exception. It’s been working flawlessly since flashing the ROM in my signature several days ago. But I needed independent Internet access at work yesterday to test out a VPN/remote desktop connection on a laptop and decided to try the Internet Sharing app on our phones. VERY impressive! A couple of quick buttons pushed and viola’! Worked like a champ!
However, back at home I had trouble getting my phone to connect to my home WiFi router again. I discovered that when I tried turning on the WiFi, it was looking to be used as an Internet Sharing point again. So I deleted that connection (“forgot” it) and it successfully connected to my home WiFi router. However, it will not actually go to the Internet – everything faults out with “Connection is currently unavailable”. Switching to the T-Mo 3G connection, everything works great.
Has anyone else had this issue? Any suggestions short of a hard-reset?
Many thanks in advance.
Solved!
Well, judging by the number of looks with no reply, either this was a simple solution that I should have been able to easily figure out or no one else is having the issue to know what to do. But I finally figured it out and just in case anyone else eventually comes across the same issue, I thought I tell you what I found.
After digging around, I found that the Internet Sharing application changes the Broadcom 802.11 DHD Network Adapter to a local IP address. So all I had to do was change it to “Use server-assigned IP address” and everything worked. (Settings tab, Wireless Controls, WiFi - Connect to WiFi Network, Advanced, Adapters and Networks, Network Adapters, edit Broadcom 802.11 DHD Network Adapter, Use server-assigned IP address.)
I have no idea whether going back to a standard wireless connection should automatically switch it back, but it doesn’t in my case. If anyone has a simpler way of address this, I’d love to hear about it.
Regardless, I hope this help someone.
Thanks

OK, so I stumbled into another revelation. It seems that if you remain in the WiFi Router application (or simply go back to it) and use the "Stop" command to discontinue the service, the Broadcomm Network Adapter does get reset to "Use server assigned IP address". The few times I used Internet Sharing, I was in other apps when I finished and simply turned off WiFi.
Oh well, live and learn.
I had a similar issue recently.
my new router was connecting fine to another mobile, but not my EnergyRom mobile.Thought it was my new routers band G/N compatibilty issue. however your post help remind me that i had used internet sharing on my HD2 for my laptop a few days earlier..Checked out my settings and well broadcom adapter was set to static at 192.168.1.1...switched it back to server assigned Ip and voila wireless is connected now
Really appreciate your post..Thanks so much for posting the solution, Gregb882
