Hello,
Im having major issues getting my O2 Xda Minis working on wifi.. Anyone got it working on this.. im havin awful problems configuring it to browse via wifi.. When i go to the comms manager it picks my netgear up but refuses to connect to it.. ive tried with WEP and WPA-PSK encryption but its just not having it.. any ideas?? does it even work with the netgear DG834!!
cheers

I have mine working with a Netgear 624. The problem may be that you need to upgrade your wireless router ROM for support. EDGE is good enough for me, so I dont use the WiFi too much. it is nice to have. Also if your wireless is a G make sure you have the registry hack for it.
shouldn't have to do anything at all. I turned my mini s on and it immediately picked up my wireless netgear modem router DG834G and I was surfing straight away. Don't advise you to upgrade rom thats a load of crap! sure to end in disaster imo just take a look at the number of probs people have on here when they do that.
Have you set it up for LAN connection?
You should have a shortcut to your conections manager on the bottom taskbar. Check you have the wireless connection activated
select Start, settings, connection, Lan and tell us what your settings are ?
Mine has
SSID netgear
Mode Infrastructure
BSSD 00-09-5b-CE-35-**
TX Rate auto
channel 11
signal good
Hi I have similar issues with WIFI and my netgear.
All is as above but on CH 6 and different BSSID
It seems to connect OK then with strong signal etc but then i try and go to a web page and its slow or doesn't find it.
Then another time its as fast as hell with no problems.
Checked all settings on Netgear and on MDA Vario and all seem to be ok.
Any ideas please
At the moment just connected. surfing via WIFI very fast for 7 pages now come to a dead stop but still have strong connection.
:x
I meant to upgrade the ROM on the Netgear router, not the MDA. At least check your router help section for possible conflicts and issues.
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.
Hi All,
I too have a strange WiFi issue. Here goes:
My phone is able to connect to free WiFi stations and the WiFi station at my parent's place. When I try to connect at home, it connects but I am unable to browse.
I previously used WEP encryption and have also tried removing all encryption...but no luck.
Here are my current router settings:
Band 2.4 GHz B+G
Mode AP
Channel 9
Authentication Open
Preamble type Long
Broadcast SSID Disable
Encryption None
Use 802.1x Authentication Disabled
Phone Details
HTC Touch
Browser Netfront/IE
My laptops, DS Lite, Wii can connect and work with the router...
Any help will be highly appreciated
Check that you don't have MAC ADDRESS FILTERING at the router. It may be hidden under Filter settings, like my D-Link is. This may sound trivial, but more than once I forgot about the MAC filtering.
If that doesn't help you, then just to narrow it down, at my home I use WEP and disable SSID broadcast also, and my Touch can connect fine, and fast.
Scratch the last post! I had the same problem with my TOUCH..Just put the power level to the max (i.e. go Start -> Settings -> Connections -> Wireless LAN -> Power Mode -> and slide all the way LEFT to Best Performance) and all hail ..your problem solved
I also use a Touch. I put the slider all the way to the right (Best Battery) and I connect fine. You people must have a big house, or a crap router?
HTC Touch wireless lan connection problems

Wifi Problem!
Hi guys,
I've got a problem and I'm hoping you can help me out..
I've got a HTC TOUCH and when I got it the Wifi connection was working just fine.. I could connect to any WIFI network and Browse the internet.
After a month or two, my phone wouldn't connect to my home wifi network anymore. And neither would it connect to any other wifi networks (I tried!)..
I've been all over the internet trying to figure out what could have happened and if someone else was having these problems to.
I just can't find the answer and I feel like I already tried everything I could think of..
Hope some of you knows what to do..
I'd suggest looking at the Touch forum... I've got no experience of Touch devices, but it may be a Radio ROM issue...
kinda same issue I am facing ! donno
MY HTC TOUCH never connects to NETGEAR WIRELESS ACCESS POINT
but finds LINKSYS routers in a jiffy :O
are Wireless Access Point and.. Wireless routers different
they both emit diff. signals ?
I have the same issue with a TYTN II, can connect to the wireless, but can't open any web pages.
problem with htc & WPA-PSK passkey 25 characters
My htc tilt connects almost everywhere, but i have a problem with wpa-psk at work. The password is from 25 characters, I read some articles what WM cannot handle such length. Maybe it's possible to edit somehow the registry?
I have the same problem guys, what can we do to find a solution i tried everthing i could, and i even tested it out with my 2 wireless routers, and at public places it connects (at home it doesnt connect though).

Thanks a lot!
I had exactly the topic problem with manilla rom on my kaiser, could not use wifi any more. But with just sliding the meter to 'Best Performance' as suggested, wifi it once again works like a charm.
HTC Touch wifi solve
I had the same problem with my htc in WEP it dosen't browse, I changed the router to a better wifi protection like WPA-PSK, connected and worked fine, for some reason it only work's fine for a couple of minutes, I readed this post to put the sidebar in best performance and now everything works fine. An advice don't use WEP it's not secure at all.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wireless_security maybe you fine this interesting and helpful.
I'm running into a problem were I can connect to an AP at work and surf the net fine but when I disassociate I cant connect to it again for a whole day. The AP must be saving some info and therefore will wait for the DHCP lease time to finish before allowing the touch to re-connect. I tried my laptop and was able to connect 3-4 times and never have a problem so it is isolated to the touch and windows mobile 6.1. To find some more info out I was able to clone the mac of the touch and use it as the laptops wifi cards mac. It connected fine on 3 consecutive tries.
Maybe windows mobile is missing some commands when disassociating from an AP and as a result leaving info out in nowhere land confusing the router.
Thanks for any help!
ok, here's me joining the club... dunno what happened... working one day, getting crap the next.
exact same problem as everyone else...connects to the wireless network, then when you try to surf, page cannot be found...
Exact same problem here.
In the beginning everything fine. Connecting to my home WiFi and using the internet without problems (weather, stocks, opera, email, google maps, even skype voip).
Then, last month, all programs are unable to find anything on the internet, although the device reports it is connected to my (unchanged) home WiFi.
All these programs work fine when the device is connected to the internet through activesync (usb cable).
Also this whole time I have been using my home WiFi with a laptop from both Vista and Ubuntu, with no problems, so I guess it's not the router.
Also have read in other fora about these wifi working - wifi not working "cycles" other people have had, with various WM devices. And various tricks like shutting wifi off and immediately on again.
I even hard reseted the device. Problem still there.
WTF?
Connected once only
Connected once only for a few minutes to my home router dir 310 D-Link, worked fine and fast. After that I closed the connection. Next day I tried to connect but my HTC Touch 3G doesn't see the router. I see any other routers, but I do not see mine. I connected to some friends routers with WEP and WPA encription just to be sure the phone working. During this I didn't changed the router or the phone settings. It is very strange. The problem maybe comes from the router.
I'm having the same issues with my HD2. Looking all over the place and seems to be a common fault, but thus far with no cure, I tried the power save mode
From new it worked like a dream, but then one day it would connect to AP's but act as if not connected. I flashed my ROM with the VERY impressive Merlion Leo v 2.66 and it all started working again. Then yesterday, it stopped again. I don't want to reflash, so I'm working hard to find a cure, and will report as soon as I find one.
---EDIT---
I've found a cure (for mine at least), not sure if it will work for everyone, and haven't managed to test it at any other AP's except for my home Router, but all I did was set the network card properties (Broadcom 802.11 DHD Network Adapter) to 'Use server-assigned IP address' instead of 'Use specific IP address'. I'm not sure why this worked as there was no IP address conflicts because there were no other devices connected to my router when I had problems, but it works for me, hopefully permanently
Good luck.
Try this. Its work perfect for me!

Whats up im delineator, this is my first post. I have been trying to get my htc touch by sprint to connect to my wireless router. I went to the connections icon in the setting and setup my work connection to use a proxy server, which i put in the IP of my router. I'm not sure if it worked, the speed seemed to be a little faster but i did a test and turned my wireless portion of the router off and I was still able to connect to the internet through my phone, so I guess its still using the sprint evdo network instead of connecting thru my router. I tried to turn on my WLAN but that doesnt seem to be working. I was wondering if someone had some answers for me, thanks!
there are 2 versions of the touch.
elf and vogue.
the elf has wifi, the vogue doesnt.
the vogues has more ram and rom.
Sprint Touch doesn't have wifi
Hi guys,
Got my Xperia recently on Vodafone UK network. Had problems with Wifi connection as it wouldnt connect to my home local wireless network although all security keys were right. So decided to flash it to the generic UK ROM...did so and everything else is working just the way it is...but the WiFi problem still exists. I cannot connect to my home wireless network. I can see my network, can click connect and it prompts for my network key...I've put the correct one in and it scans for a little while and then a message 'unable to connect to network, please check your network or service provider settings.'
Any idea? This phone seems like a total waste of time and money if I dont make use of it connectivity to the max! Please please please advise!
many people exp problems like this with phones with wifi and iphones and ipod touch and other portable wifi devices
most success seem to be with upgrading the firmware of ones wifi router
other people use changing to another encryption form like wpa or wpa2
wifi
i had the same problem with my netgear router, but all i had to do was log on to the router with my pc, where all the settings are and allow the connection with my X1's mac/IP address. hope this helps.
THanks for all the info guys...I have upgraded the firmware for my wireless router and it works now, I can log on with the Xperia to the WiFi. However...I still cannot use it to do anything useful. I try login on to Windows live...no...Skype...no...Opera...no. Although it is connected to the WiFi, it does not seem to be able to surf the internet. Any ideas?
well.. I would first try to disable any security to make sure your router and the phone can talk first....
now I have just got my phone 2 days ago and since then I have been using wifi all day long.... I can get on msn live and skype and opera and youtube etc... if you want to try it is the phone or the router just try to logon to another router and see... otherwise you can try bringing your phone back to the shop =P
