TyTN and the Linksys WRT54G

Has anyone tried to use their TyTN with a WRT54G Router. I can get it connected to the wireless signal and it has a DHCP IP but I cant seem to get it to automatically pickup the DNS servers. I an connected to the WAN via PPPoE. The connection is 100Mbit FTTH. The PCs wired to the network can get on the net just not the TyTN on the wireless signal.
Any help is appreciated.

Nevermind
Put the DD-WRT custom firmware on there then set the DNS servers manually and its blazing.

Hermes (Dopod 838 Pro) and the WRT54G Router Issue
I have the same problesm! I run a WRT54G router AP at home and created a MAC list that enables access. Of course I updated the MAC list filter on AP. I get to connect my JasJar, but no such luck with the TyTN. Then I hooked an ASUS portable access point to one of the routers cable slots and my TyTn connect seemlessly!
I read the DNS suggestion and alos trying to run the AP woth fixed IP! I would then have to do that for all systems that access the Routre, right! Isn`t there a way to make th 54G work with DHCP and assign IP addressess dinamicly to the TyTN, as it does to any other WiFi equiped device?

Try this;
Check what type of wireless encryption you are using. If you are using AES then create another SSID or change the current SSID to use TKIP for your TyTN to connect to. I don;'t think the TyTN supports AES.

oops, ignore my reply. Clicked on the wrong button and accidently replied here

you can always do this... sell your linksucks on ebay or to a friend then go buy a better router i have seen many issues with linksucks and HTC devices, there was tons of weird issues with the wrt54g and the wizard

Mine works without issue. I do have the sveasoft firmware loaded though. I also don't use pppoe.

Load the DD-WRT and it's very stable..

I have a DLINK 604T and it work with no issues with dynamic IP/DNS. This router is also cheap as compared to lynksys

WRT54G working FINE with Hermes 100
Hi Everyone!
If you own a WRT54G router/access point and were experiencing trouble to connect your Hermes 100 to it, sweat no more! Go www.linksys.com, select downloads and choose from the long list of routers. Make sure you match the model number and the version number of your router. Download the FIRMWARE upgrade. I was running the original firmware from my router a WRT54G V1.1. After upgrading the firmware, my router worked great and the range was almost 4 times what I had before!
Check it out!
Cheers

Was a bit worried as read this before my Vario II arrived and I have a WRT54G...
Connected fine 1st time... just added MAC to filter and put key into vario. bingo-bango!!
FYI I have WRT54G Firmware Version: v1.42.2 (the firmware I bought it with)

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.

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

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

WLan and WPA

Searched and searched, Has anyone had an issue with using the wlan SD8686 with WPA?
I can connect with no security and with WEP and I am able to browse the web.
I can still connect to the router using any of the WPA but can not get any pages to load in IE only works with wep or no security. 3 other laptops work fine.
Any idea? HTC Tech support no help.

I can't answer.. but that reminds me the WPA issue that I have with the HTC Touch ..... my Touch is unable to use any WPA ... when connected the touch just freeze .. and I have to soft-reset and hope to the Wireless not connecting before being connected before disabling the Wireless.
it seems that WPA or the wireless chip is really bad ... but don't know which one !

Shift works fine with WPA I am currently using TKIP+AES

I have had nothing but issues with my Shift and Belking N Router using WEP...
Sometimes it would connect, the majority of the time the shift couldn't see the network and it did connect it would lose connection. I tried it with WEP and also with no security and also with MAC address authentication only. Every 50 times I tried to connect, it would connect maybe once.
So, decided to use my old standard 54g Belking router. Guess what, no issue so far with no security applied. Was planning to try it with WEP later....

I live in US and unit was from UK think this could be a problem with WPA?
I have no problem with NO security and NO problem with WEP only with any type of WPA. Also searching the net, seems like the wirerless chip in the SHIFT not a very good track record, lots of driver issues

Can you tell me what the Driver VER No is on your shift tfor the network card?
My unit has the Marvell SD-8686

Wifi
I had problems, sometimes the shift could not find my network, sometimes it woeked.
after setting my dlink dir655 router in b/g moder rather than b/g/draft n mode all has worked so far.

ok guys i use linksys running open source dd-wrt v23 sp2 firmware; works great; i must admit i have not used the shift on other wifi network routers....

No connection
Hi,
maybe someone can help. Since yesterday I belong tot he proud owners. But, but, I can’t get a connection to the internet over my WLAN router.
Router Netgear WPNT834. Whatever I did no luck: either I get the message: limited connectivity or only local Zugriff connection something like that.
No problem with XP notebooks, but with Shift and Vista.
Has anyone an idea what causes the problem? Is it the router?
Do you know any router you can recommend: strong signal and reliability?
Thanks
Settembrini

No issue with WPA here
Hi Settembrini,
So you got your Shift from Amazon.de at the same time as they delivered mine after all
Regarding the WiFi connection to the router, it seems to be some routers / chipsets.
I am also using WPA (with a Siemens SX550i router) and it worked without any problems. The Shift detected an encrypted network with hidden SSID and after I entered the SSID and the encryption password it connected immediately and with a stable connection.

WLAN access
Hi mw65719
yes, more or less same time.
So what is the conclusion? It is my Netgear router WPNT834, why I do not get a connection? Need for a new router it seems!
Thanks!
S.

Yes same here, I just bought the new Belkin N1 Vision router and all other equipment works but the Shift can't even see the the router. I just hooked a netgear router in series with the belkin and the Shift can now see the Netgear..... Was worried for a bit there.... Really annoyed about the shift not being able to see the belkin, the Belkin wasn't cheap.

Hi,
I was not able to establish a connection to my Netgear router WPNT834, then I tried the Speedport 700 V and it worked without any problems, no special settings in Vista neccessary.
I guess you have a different Netgear router than mine.

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.
