hey I've searched pretty much everywhere and I can't find a solution, Got K-jam Rom 2.16.9.1, apart from not being able to find a better Rom, I can't fix my wifi issues, weak signal - struggles to connect and usually gives an error stating that it couldn't assign IP adress. ok so far I've put wifi setting to full performance and placed a registry hack, but nothing changed. assigning my own IP I haven't tried cause I don't know how to do it! anyhow I know this wifi problem is old, but perhaps there is a solution out there!
anyone come across a solution ?
Try to update the Radio ROM.
I'm having this same problem and I can't figure out how to fix it.
I'll try connecting to wifi at home and work and it'll say it's connecting but never actually connects, and then an error message will come up saying "cannot obtain a server assigned IP address"
and I've already updated my Radio to the 2.19.11 version. I also tried changing the access point name from "wap.voicestream.com" to "internet2.voicestream.com" and that didn't work either.
Please help!
ah dude if your using t-mobile, then u have to get 2.69, works best
If you have T-Mobile and you're having this problem it's because you can't use the proxy while you're connected to wifi. You have to go in to connection settings and remove the check from the use proxy checkbox.

i just checked the proxy setting and it actually wasnt checked...but im at my friends house and the wifi is actually working. i guess it just doesnt work at home and work haha.
If it works at your friends house and not at home or work, is your network protected? Did you supply it with the keys if it is?

Yeah at home my network is password protection and I do have the key, but still doesn't work :*(
The one I connected to earlier was an unsecure network, btw.

It sounds like you may be using the wrong type of security on the network. Log in to the network with a laptop and then check the security settings. I generally use WPA-Personal with TKIP. However there are several other possibilities. My WIZA100 works fine with my g-54 set to TKIP.

I admit that I am somewhat unaware of some of the workings on the Wiz. However, I thought that the Radio Rom was only for the GSM functions. Does the ROM also include the Wireless Radio functions?

simple enough i cant connect to my home wifi using my wizard.
It is able to find the network, and says it is "available" but when i press connect it goes ... "connecting" and then returns to "available"
Ive read through most threads on this forum and no one seems to have this problem, i have changed to power setting to best performance as well.
However i dont know what to put in the Enrole tab...? this is porbably the source of my problem.
please help me!
Hi, The problem could be the speed of your router connection. Set it to be able to connect to b end g clients.
In my case this worked. I Had the same problem you descibed, so give it a try!
Gert-Jan
thanks for the suggestion, but im running three computers over this wifi network already, and two have "g" wifi cards and one has a "b" card. so i dont think this is my problem.

My first problem was forgetting I'd got MAC filtering active on the AP. Once I'd added the Wizard's mac address things got better.
What encryption are you running?
Dox
Exact same problem as you jimmy_boy.
Quite frustrating not being able to connect to the wireless network.
I am wondering if it is a rom-specific problem...I am using an O2 XDA mini S, on vodafone. Would this cause the wifi to lock up?
Unsure as what to try next. If someone could shed some light on the situation it would be much appreciated.

If I have the power on anything but Best Performance, I get flakey throughput, even right on top of the AP. Both my laptop and iPAQ hx4700 will find the AP from all corners of the house, whereas the Wizards both want better signal strength before they'll connect.
Like I asked jimmy_boy, what encryption are you running?
Regards
Dox
I also experienced this problem and what I did to fix it was, changing the channel on my access point. I stepped through each channel stopping and trying it until I found a channel that worked.
I turned the encryption off. If I goto "Network adapters" it shows the name of my connection and "available", but when I goto "wireless lan" tab, it shows me no information on the connection at all.
Tried setting the power setting to max as well. Still nothing.
Would appreciate it, if someone could step by step explain how to do this.
thanks in advance.
I also have the exact same problem as described in the first post. I do have MAC filtering on, but I've also added the MAC of my Wizard.
I haven't tried changing the channel though...
yeah gdap thats exactly what i get, im running WEP encryption, but ive entered the network key into the wizard as well, i know this is correct, becasue i entered it in wrong on purpose to see if there is an error message and there is. So it knows the network key the network is available yet it stil wont connect!!!!!
Any ideas??
im running the uk t-mobile rom so i dont think its the roms problem.
changing the channel of all 4 computers ... oh the effort
but i might give it a shot
Same problem here
I can connect with my Exec, but not with my gf's Wizard. Same symptoms. It says the network is available if I get the key right, but then won't connect. Please help!
My Qtek 9100 can connect to my encrypted 802.11b AP, get's a valid IP address from the DHCP server, but is not able to communicate with TCP/IP. Also the other members of the wireless LAN can not see my Qtek nor is PING responding. PWLAN from Swisscom here in Switzerland is working well, the login page is showing up.

I get the same issue: my 9100 connects to my router and receives a valid IP address. Even though the IP Address/Subnet Mask are valid, I cannot seem to get any access to the internet via wifi. I find this very frustrating, so if anyone has any suggestions, I'd appreciate it very much.
Exact same problem myself, but I think I only have my router set at 'G', where the o2 Mini is 'b' only.
Connected to both of my Morrisons supermarkets wireless network tho,they're both on 'b'........ no encryption in either of them.
problem solved!!!!!

Check on the setup page on your router that MAC address filtering is not enabled. If it is you will need to add the MAC address of your Wizard's Wlan card in order to connect.
Often forgotten but excellent security feature is MAC address filtering
Sorted, as I thought, I had to set router to transmi b as well as g
No need to flash the Rom now :twisted:

On your wifi router settings on your computer, you have to add the MAC address of the wizard, which can be found by , settings, advanced tab on your wizard.
my phone connects to any unencrypted open network from a router or my pc. but whenever I encrypt the network by wep and put a key on it. it fails to connect instead keeps showing the disappearing arrows that signify the phone is trying to connect how do I fix this?
turn off wpa security on your router or flash a rom which can handle it
Hey thanks for replying i have also tried t network it with my pc which does not have that security just the network key. Can you name a rom that can handle it? Even the original rom i had couldn handle it.

sorry, i don't understand very well what you just said. use your pc to adjust your router's security settings.
i don't know which - if any - roms can handle wpa security, but i spent months trying to work out the problem, then i turned wpa off and it now works. i have not bothered to turn it back on since, so i don't know if any roms work with it
Just don't use an auto-generated key but a WPA SHARED KEY (the option where you define your own wirless network password). Pay attention that you enter this password exactly as you did in the router! I tried plenty of ROMs before I was gone with a shipped version again and never had a problem with this settings! BTW: my router is a LINKSYS54GS.
Maybe it helps in future if people post their router model? At least we could locate which routers are the most common trouble makers for the WIZ ...

i read about belkins being a problem before i turned wpa off
mine is an inventel and came with the orange internet connection
hmmm the thing is i connect it with my pc since i dont have a wireless router, i dont use the infrastructure type of networking, i use the ad hoc type, but even when i took it to my friends place where he had a router and gave me the key it stil wouldnt work, and i dont want other people sneaking in on my internet, so theres no way to make a wep encrypted network work on the o2? and i put in my own key very carefully as a precaution
im surprised to find that other people have this problem as well
you'll have to read the networking forum in the general area. i read every threads first post until i found a couple which looked like they might help.
I just moved into this new place, just got the Cox Cable internet installed yesterday, picked up a new "Belkin N Wireless Router" model # F5D8233-4. Works fine with the laptop- I've had it setup using unsecured, WEP, & WPA/WPA2 Personal. No problems on the laptop. Inexpensive Dell Inspiron with Vista Home Basic.
However, the Wing will not cooperate at all. It only wants to connect to unsecured networks. It will connect to mine and others it detects in the appt complex. But as soon as any type of security is enabled it just tries to connect for a few seconds, then the network becomes unavailable. I'm soo tired of clicking around in the Wing with this stylus, I'm about to throw it out the window.
I've set up a static IP on the laptop so to better work with port forwarding & Azureus. Will this have an effect on what I'm trying to do? I can't see how it would, but I'm no expert.....
So here's what I've done. In the routers setup page, I've selected 64bit wep, typed in a passkey and hit generate. Wrote down the 4 keys it generated, saved the changes and exited the router setup. I think where I'm messing up is what I should be doing next with the Wing. Can anyone walk me through this?
About the only thing of note that I've done to the Wing as far as tweaking is concerned is to install Home Screen/Battery Status, overclocked to 260, and tweaked the registry to allow ring tones from the sd card.
HELP!!
maybe your wing uses the same ports as the ones you've forwarded to connect to your router. You should always make it really obscure (something like 65530-65534) to make sure that there are no conflicts between other apps and any port related protections your ISP may have implemented.
You are setting up your wing with the key, right? It might just be that the wing is incompatible with 64bit wep.
Let me clarify- the port forwarding was set up for the Azureus bit torrent client. Way obscure ports-in the 49,xxx-50,xxx range.
Yeah, setting up the wing with the key. The only choices are 64 and 128bit wep. And the WPA/PSK. Neither work. When the little window pops up asking for the net work key, I enter one of the ones I wrote down. The thing doesn't seem to be compatible with any type of security. Which kinda sucks....To use the wi-fi at home, I have to leave my router open to "signal thieves".
thats funny, actually.
I have my linksys wrt54g set to 64 bit 10 hex security and it works just fine. Maybe your problem has something to do with the wireless n part of your router? The wing is not compatible with draft-n. Does your router also broadcast with wireless-g or b?
It does...I just switched it over. Waiting for the Wing to reboot then I'll try again. Good thinking.
Ok, that didn't work either. The selections in the router are
1- Off
2- 802.11g,
3- 802.11g, 802.11b, 802.11n
4- 802.11n
It was on #3, I changed to #2 and no luck. Grrr...
Have a look on your wireless lan power settings, my Wing also had huge wifi problems all fixed when I changed the power to better performance.
I think I found a thread that mentioned that while researching this problem. Anyways, I've already made that change.
Which network adapter is the wi-fi one? Is it this- "SDIO WLAN Wireless Adapter"?
oh by the way just remembered something from my noob years.
make sure that your wing's adapter connects to "the internet" not "work"

The wifi is just like a laptop's wifi, it connects to a wireless router and since it's not going through the cell phone towers, it will not charge you.

OMG....I'm getting soooooooooooooo tired of dickin around with this thing. Now it won't connect to any network, secured or not.
I tried importing a certificate from IE on my laptop, because I got an error message on the wing saying the net work needed a personal certificate to identify me. Didn't work.
I tried a hard rest. Didn't work.
I've tried about 56,345 soft resets. Didn't work.
If there were any trees in the state of Kansas, I'd go bang my head on one of them. :

Hi All,
Just got my new HTC HD2 from Virgin, however I cannot for the life of me seem to connect it to my home WiFi (I've not tried it elsewhere yet).
I've still got my MDA Compact IV here with me and use the same settings as the HD2 and that connects first time no problems, but the HD2 isnt playing ball!
It sees my wireless network at home (full strength) and starts to connect then simply says "Available". No notification of incorrect wireless key etc...reported.
I have used my Compact IV side by side with the HD2 and no issues so I am puzzled as to what I need to do now
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank

I've not enabled MAC address filtering on the router at all, just simple wifi security key access.
Flash a new radio?
(check my sig under hspl flashing guide)
if you are using wep, heres something to try.
routers can be set to three types of wep key
open
open or shared
shared
in my experience if you areset to the middle one, "open or shared" mobile devices can have trouble connecting.try setting it to just "shared"instead.
course it could just be my router but I have seen this behavior in three mobiles including my hd2.
Current router settings is WPA-PSK [TKIP]. I even tried turning off security and got nothing My router is Netgear WGR614v9 - it came with my Virgin broadband deal.
Current ROM version is 1.48.405.2 (71294) WWE and radio version 2.05.51.05.2
Its most annoying that the HD2 on the face of it seems like a really good handset but then I cant get the Wifi connected which most basic handsets have no issues with
Any other possible solutions?
I got the same problem
I have the exact same problem.. Cant connect to my AP with my leo... got no mac secure on, even if i remove my security(WPA/wep or whatever), it will not connect...
I had the same issue when I applied hint 39 from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=583638
Result: couldn't connect to my network with WPA2.
After restoring the parameters everything is OK.
Right finally got it working!

Cab can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=584415
Hope that helps others out too
I had this issue too, could see my home Wifi network, but the device would just say, "Incorrect Network Key". But it was correct!
I now have it working strangely by changing router Security Options to (WPA-PSK + WPA2-PSK)
Connects with no hesitation now!
my advise is disabling WEP password in both HD2 and the router.
it works perfectly.

Ability to turn ON/OFF the SSID broadcast.
MAC Address Filtering (limit access to certain MAC addresses).
Ability to support WEP and WPA (one or the other).
Anyone have any thoughts on this or registry mods that may implement the above? I just don't feel very secure with broadcasting the SSID and not having a more robust key or encryption.

I honestly haven't seen any solutions that incorporate all that, though I have seen the same question asked several times. It's not really an perfect solution (mainly the fact it only does ad-hoc connections), just gets the job done in a pinch.

In my experience, if you use the epc.tmobile.com or wap.voicestream.com, you may possibly run into 2 issues. Both of those can be throttled, and if you use wifi sharing while roaming, it may deny access and all you get is a white page telling you your roaming, internet plan not appliable or some crap.
On my hd2, if i use internet2.voicestream.com, i can both roam with it while wifi sharing and i don't get throttled. Have not messed with internet3 but that apn is for vpn users, you get a direct ip vs. a kinda nat ip on the rest. Again, this is my experience. Your milage may vary
