Hi
I have a WiFi network at home (802.11g), the network does not broadcast a network name and also has 64bit WEP security active.
When I turn on Wirless Lan On I cannot find my network.
When im out and about and turn Wireless Lan On, I can connect to any network thats available.
Has anyone got any ideas how i can setp up my PDA to work with my Wireless Network at home?
Many thanks
Matt
hi, i have the problem, that my mda pro is connected via wlan (DHCP, correct ip and i can use some ip tools to make tracerout etc, so this is working fine.
only internet explorer and icq and agile messenger want to make connection by gprs.
why?
what i am doing wrong?
any idea?
thank you, Wolf
I also have the same issue. Havent had time to work it out yet!
My router settings have all been checked:
MAC address filtering
WEP 128 encryption
DHCP
I can join my home wireless network but like you said no surfin once connected.
Very frustrating. :evil:
i think i found the problem:
if i switch on the mobile phone radio, it works.
it seems to me that only than he can choose between gprs or wlan if radio is on...
please check it...
wolf.
Sorry but what do you mean by switiching the radio on?
Do you mean the wifi?
Surely you need the wifi on in the first instance to be able to join the network?
he means the phone (i.e not in flight mode :wink: )
I have a similar problem but that is for file exploring on a networked pc it keeps trying to dial gprs :x
I tried again lastnight and it maybe becuase I have WEP 128 enabled on my router. I dont really want to go any lower than 128 encryption because the security on that is already pretty pants.
I'll give it another go on just standard WEP just to ease my conscience!
cld anyone plz help me in connecting xda exec to WiFi. I have Netgear : DG834G and the router configrations are shown in the picture
under > CONFIGURE WIRELESS NETWORKS
i can see the available network named NETGEAR ----- which is the name of my wireless router,but it keeps displaying connecting/available only.
if there is any step by step instructions in the forum plz give me the link
many thanks
Check you've got the following settings in "Configure Wireless Network" on your Exec:
General tab:
Network name: NETGEAR
Connects to: The Internet
Network key tab:
Authentication: WPA-PSK
Data Encryption: TKIP
Network key: [whatever it is]
Also, make sure your WiFi network adaptor in your Exec is configured for static or dynamic IP, whatever your network router is set up for.

Don't forget to reset your access point. Sometimes a simple reset takes care of the connection problem.

Does it work on the HTC Universal?
Yes the software is written for PPC. And the screenshots are windows 2003.
It should work on HTC Universal. I'm testing the software now. (only 9 Euro's) It should create more overview when configuring the WiFi network.

Sorry guys
I tried the software but it doesn't support Qtek Universal.
The tool doesn't recognize the wifi adapter. Note that i did turn it on.
I hope they will support the Universal soon!

Hi WizzarD-me,
If you are looking for a WiFi scanner. Try WiFiFoFum, it works great on the Universal.

Refer to mine, I have the Netgear router using a jasjar.
I dont use the WPA-SPK, I use the 64bit WEP encryption, and have provided the settings on my router and on my JJ, hope they help.
If you need further help directly PM me and we can use messenger by my screen shots should be self explanatory.
If you dont mind, could you let me know when you have connected and retrieved so that I can make appropriate edits to this post.

Update
I was thinking. Since the option for connecting to the internet automaticaly does not indicate a WiFi connection... the PocketWinc program didn't find the WiFi cause i had my phone connection online.
After closing the program and turning of the phone connection and enabling the WiFi connection the program recognized the WiFi antenna.
Still experimenting with it at home. It has a Wifi Sniffer option in which you can set a WiFi sniffer interval. The program remembers the networks and you can set you favorites and even remember the settings on those.
The reason i set this program on this post was and still is for the overview of settings the program provides. You can sellect the network SSID and create a report of the IP configuration. There are several other interesting options like ping, trace route and more.
PS thanks for the link. I will check the WIFOFUM thingy
If anyone has the time could they help
I need someone to talk me through wifi..
I have xda exec but cant seem to get connected via access point..
I have installed the above software and wififofum. but nothing
Please help
router to have;
- ssid created, suggest a family name or similar, broadcast it
- dhcp enabled and auto control
- enable wep encryption (128 or 64 bit)
- use a shared key 9usually a choice of 4, pick one)
universal needs:
- wifi turned on!
_ start - settings - connections - network
- ypu should see it searching, cancel auto detects, do it manually
- in connections, add
- insert info above
* ssid
* choose wep encryption, shared, remove auto, enter the choosen key, txice
* slect and tell it which key number you chose (eg 1-4)
those are my settings to get it working initially
You can later if you want disable your dhcp, dns, wins n stuff
you may want to consider stopping broadcasting ssid later to prevent people looking for the network, but the wep key encryption should prevent all but the most enthusiastic genius from using the network.
this works on my netgear system.
Hey all, does anyone know how to get the Universal to connect to a hidden wireless network? I've got the router set up on WPA-PSK and know all its info but i cant seem to find anything which allows me to put in all the info and it will connect to it, when available, like i can on my computer. Only way that seems an option is through a VPN.
I've got it hidden just for security as well as MAC control (im in a high student/geek density area)
Cheers

If you have disabled SSID broadcast you need to add the SSID and the other parameters manually in the Pocket PC. Go to wireless settings, view wireless networks, add your own.
Ahh that worked
Dunno why I didnt notice that before, Doh!!
Thank you.

I have been reading this forum and many others all day about the wifi problems people are having but none are like mine so I would like to ask this question, I turn on wifi and it will not find my network or any network around. I have tried to manually put in the ssid and ip address and still it will not connect that way either. I have checked and double checked all my router setting (currently set to open with no wep or anything) I am begining to wonder if the wifi is broken? My second problem I have found it when I change the connection setting to my isp I cannot connect to the internet. Maybe a bad setting, I am not really sure. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
is your router set to broadcast the ssid? if not then that is the problem. if this option is not enabled then no one can see your router.
as far as connecting via a cell connection, make sure you are using an operator cab. I am sure if you do a simple search you will be able to find a cab that will load all of the proper setting for a cellular internet connection.
who is your provider?
Yes, my router does bradcast the ssid and I have four computers and printers that find it without anyproblems. When i turn on wi-fi the phone doesn't even search for a network the icon shows up but I don't get the arrow that go back on forth to show that it is searching or connecting.
I am also having a problem with my 8525. I do get connected but i cant browse the net. Can someone tell me how to setup a connection from scratch to connect to wifi. Thanks

Search around on the Hermes forum. IE doesn't know to use the WiFi connection when it's available. There's a registry key setting that needs to be changed in order for IE to make use of the WiFi connection rather than going out over your data connection with your carrier.
