Change WiFi channel?

Hi,
What is the registry setting (if any) to change the WM 6.5(.x) setting from WiFi channel 1 to any other channel. This is an important setting to get the HD2 WiFi Router to work also in an environment with heavy WiFi traffic around.
Sorry that my attempts to search for a solution has failed. Please feel free to flame me. But when this is done, please post llink to relevant thread, if any.
Regards,
artreides

Hi,
I had a problem where no wireless device would pick up my HTC HD2's wireless router. In the end I changed the WiFi channel of my office router and all worked perfectly, so if someone has the answer to how to change the wireless channel on WM6.5 please post it
Maybe the channel gets assigned when you hard reset the phone as I had to change my WiFi router away from channel 11, so I assume the phone is on 11.
Cheers

surely its all done via the router not the phone, the router broadcasts on channel X and the device just accepts on that channel

Is there any solution to this issue? would love to know the answer.

@Richy99 & p107r0: can you read in English with understanding?
What about the router function embedded in HD2? artreides is asking about HD2 WiFi Router so please don't reply until you know how to change its channel settings or you've got something really valuable to say

my bad
....

No worries...
... but, going back to the subject: anybody knows how to change it? I don't believe it is locked down to the hardware so there has to be a way to change it software-wise... anybody?

WMwifiRouter has a setting for changing channel but the inbuilt router does not & I have not seen a reg value linked to it in my registry browsing ...

[How To] Config ad-hoc wifi with hd2

I am using ad-hoc wifi on my hd2 since a week.
I am using ad-hoc wifi with almost any rooted build.
I first go to wifi n settings and add and set up my ad-hoc connection.
It will show my connection not in range.
Then I use root-explorer and edit /data/misc/wpa_supplicant.conf
I add line ap_scan = 2 in the top
and add at the bottom of network section of my ad-hoc network
mode=1
priority=1
then I go to settings and switch on my wifi.
If then also net is problematic, I give static Id.
My gateway is 192.168.0.1
I give static ip 192.168.0.133 (13/3 is my birthday )
netmask 255.255.255.0
Hope this helps!

the instructions above do not work for me..I have edited wpa_supplicant.conf and now it shows this
ctrl_interface=eth0
update_config=1
ap_scan = 2
network={
ssid="Abitza"
scan_ssid=1
key_mgmt=NONE
auth_alg=OPEN SHARED
wep_key0=0238521368
mode=1
priority=1
}
the problem is that after I rebooted into android my wifi doesn't work anymore..it tries to turn on and after that it says ERROR... any solution?

I too would like to properly tether.
Can any one post more specific I instructions on how to do this?
Thanks!

Did you set up the APN of your carrier, do you have a data plan activated?

I also, about 2 weeks ago, tried to connect my HD2 to my laptop ad-hoc wifi network, but unfortunately in the end I had the same result as adrian.mkl.86, broken wifi. I tried several instuctions from here and there but noting worked. Now I'm affraid to change anything in wpa_supplicant.conf, because wifi again will be down

i have same wifi problem. Turn out the device doesn't have the mac address at all. Does anyone know how to change the mac address in here? I try couple way but it doesn't work, like using fastboot

i try to use wifi for internet connection,using my wireless router, not internet from the 3g phone company(vodafone) . The phone finds wireless netework, gets an ip and establishes a connection BUT there is no data comming in... nothing loads... i have set APN but i think that hasnt anything to do with my wireless network... by the way the network is open so no wep/wpa key is needed, and never had issues with connections whatsoever.... Is there a way to see if packets are comming in to the phone?

This is a DNS problem. Try to manually enter a working DNS address.

[Q] Strange Wi-Fi issue.

I have a strange problem about Wi-Fi. I tried every single Android Build in this forum, and i'm still having it.
The problem is, my Wi-Fi network is works like a charm with Sense builds, every Sense build. Without exception. But with the stock builds, it's just stops connecting to the internet(still vague?). I tried everything; static IP's, tried to make my network open... Nothing changed. Is there any solution for this, or the problem is just my network???
btw, i can reach router's homepage (192.168.0.1), i just cant access to the internet.

I'm pretty sure you problem has been covered elsewhere (although I cant be certain..."It just stops working" is a bit vague)....
But, searching for "wifi" problems might not be very benneficial soo I will try to help instead of flaming you like i normally might
Which channel is your router using???
From what I recall some builds will not recognise the higher channels (11, 12 and 13 I think).
So if your router is on channel 11 or higher I would try a lower number
If thats not the problem then I dunno....its back to searching for you

yes, that was 11. so i tried 10,7,5,2... nothing changed. still i can reach to router's homepage but not internet. it doesn't make sense

guys, please help me. i'm still trying to solve it. i tried every single rom published today too. cyanogens, not cyanogens...
-i also upgrade my radio from 2.10 to 2.11.

HTC Leo Wi-Fi problem

Hey there! I just got my new HD2 (T-mobile) for XMAS. But I have a problem. When I try to connect to WiFi it tries to connect but it doesn't connect with my router. I tried every key type but with no result.
P.S. Sorry but I couldn't find any threads matching my problem.

Your wifi router is wireless 'N' type?
If so, you will have to search the forums how to enable Wireless N WiFi network on your HD2

The fastest way to find out is to go to a local Starbucks etc who have free wifi, and see if it connects, if it does then its your home wifi router key that needs to be sorted out? I use WEP for my wifi and an easy key that i remember. Give it a try, or ask your fiends that have wifi to try and test on there system...
Or if you did set your wifi router on "N" then reset it back to auto mode to get your mobile working.
Russ

try to get really close to the router, like 1 foot away, and see if it connects, if that is the case, your antenna has come loose and you need to send it back to get it fixed.

ok, so the problem is an hardware problem? not a software one? I try a lot of wifi and I saw that only whit wpa-psk it's bugged (at my home I have that one...).
is there any method to understand if is an hardware problem? becouse I have buy it on expansys, and I prefer to not change the device if the new one will have the same problem.
thank you a lot!

skaburn, I have had an issue when using the router WPS, PIN or push to connect method as well. The connection was successful but no data flow so I had to manually connect and use the WPAx phrase and all was good ...

where can I entere my wpa phrase?

1. Navigate to: Settings->Wireless & Network Settings->Wi-Fi Settings
2. If you have the network SSID remembered then press and hold the entry until the popup menu appears and press forget network.
3. Press add network and enter the network SSID and press the security combobox and select the correct encryption/authorisation protocol.
4. Enter the password/passphrase and press save.
One other issue I remember was that my wifi router/cable model had the WiFi channel set to auto and it supported 13 channels. The Milestone 2 supports 1 to 11 channels so I manually set them both to 11 (can be any clear channel) just incase there was a problem with the auto-negotiation between the router and the phone.

Ok, thanks a lot, when i try I will share my result.

edit:
thank you a lot! whit manual add of wifi, it doesn't work too
but whit the second way the problem is seems to be fixed!
I don't understand only one thing, i had to change the channel of peer to peer connection on 11, but the peer to peer connection is for a router? I thought that it is for a direct connection whit another device..
thank you again..
edit2: -.- connection failed! data still not pass on wifi! it seems to work, but after 5 minutes it doesn't send no more data....

Seems to be a common problem, lots of complaints on the Motorola Forums aswell... I have the same problem.
https://supportforums.motorola.com/thread/41656

@shellite:
yes, I saw but there is no way to fix? I found on motorola support only problem report, not fix..

To my knowledge, after much scrounging, no fix exists and Motorola will not acknowledge that there is an issue.
