I'm using a PDA which bundled a WM6.1, I'm trying to connect my wireless which using Cisco LEAP but failed, I can do that using my previous WM5, anyone tried that successfully? Any comments are appreciated.
Anyone encountered the same problem?
many routers require firmware updates once in awhile to work with newer handheld wifi devices
but it's easy to update them and the manufactors got firmware updates one can dl
otherwise one can often fix issue just by restarting the router as in unpluggin it for 10sec and connect it again
think it's a dhcp issue
I used to have Cisco LEAP as an option with my previous WM5 device (Wizard) and it did work, however we quickly migrated away from LEAP once the WPA standard was adopted and integrated into the WiFi AP's we used (Cisco). I haven't used it for ages, nor have I seem any customers in the last 18-months or so with it still being used on their WiFi infrastructure.
I still have the LEAP option in the 'Wireless LAN' settings on my Kaiser so in theory it should still work, unfortunately I no longer have any WiFi networks I connect to that use LEAP where I could test it....
Implement WPA or WPA2 it's much more secure and you will likely get more support from other users.

My work wi-fi network uses WPA2-PSK encryption/security, and I also use that on my home wi-fi network as well.
WM5 does not seem to support this.
Recently, I was playing around with one of the PDAVIET Windows Mobile 6 Roms on my phone, and I discovered that WPA2-PSK was supported and it worked great!
Unfortunately, that Rom wasn't really very stable (my phone would just randomly shut off with no warning or explanation), so I have returned to using a Windows Mobile 5 Rom.
It's more boring, but much more stable (seeing as I don't have a landline, I need my mobile phone to be reliable).
Anyway, since it seems like the issue is that of software, not hardware, does anyone on this forum know of a way to get WPA2-PSK support on WM5 devices without flashing to a WM6 Rom?
I imagine that this should be possible, but my google searches and forum searches so far have shown nothing.
(And shame on HTC/Microsoft for not providing some sort of update that provides this kind of basic functionality...I just bought this PDA/phone new 7 months ago, I don't like being "forced" to upgrade to a new device to get such a simple thing as software support for a standard wireless security protocol!)
Google for Juniper Odyssey Client or try an AKU3 WM5 Rom (Aserg).
After several WM6 tries, i installed ASERG 3.13 (AKU3) yesterday and it seems to work like a charm. For me, WPA-PSK support was one of the requirements, which works well with this image.
Thanks for the advice!
Was on a phone-flashing binge the past few weekends and I'm really busy now, but I will certainly give an ASERG AKU3 ROM a try in the near future.

I can connect via WPA2-PSK with data encryption AES-TKIP
but Rom WM6.5 23529 not have. how can I get it for this Rom? Help me please!
Hi!
I have a huge problem, with my tytn HTC
I have a wireles network at home. It is built like this:
Cable modem --> (not wireless)Router--> computer (conected to the router via UTP cable, that means with ordinary network adapter card).
In this computer, i have WIRELESS USB card, configured as Access point (AP), so the wireless networks works just fine. With my laptop i can connect to internet through this card with no problem at all...
But, when i try to connect to internet with my TyTN, it just won't work... it finds wireless network, it sais it is available, but when i try to connect, nothing happens. it sais "connecting" and than- nothing happens... after several tries, it sais that my wireless network is unavailable... when i reset my Tynt, it sais it is available again, but the same story again...after several attempts to connect to wireless network, it sais unavailable and that's it...
What is wrong? i tried everything, im quite desspered here...
Well, tnx in advance for any suggestions and advices...
I appologise for my bad english, too...
TNX!
Do you have any restrictions in your Acess point configuration? If yo have, just remove it or reconfigure for acess with your TyTN. Try to remove WEP or MAC filtering or firewall...
Resolving your wireless problems ...
There's actually several things you need to check.
First, on the Router side, insure that you are not restricting your wireless access. For instance, is your Router set to G Only or is it b/g?
Next, on your router side, make sure your router is not hidden. If so, then you'll need to manually add the router via Configure Wireless Networks on your TyTN. At the top is "Add New...". Choose this and insert your settings for your wireless router.
On the TyTN (HTC Hermes) side of things, you need to see if you are set to be B only or if you've upgraded (I think most ROMs on this site have this fix installed) and your device is seen as a G device and therefore can connect to G only devices.
These should hopefully resolve your issues.
i removed restrictions and firewall and still nothing...
Next thing, my wireless Access Point is set to 54g Auto.
On my Tynt i have installed Windows mobile 6 profesional, CE OS 5.2.1437 (build 17944.0.3.1)
I don't know exactly where should i look if my HTC is wireless is B or G...
I tried to change settings on my AP from 54g Auto to 802.11B and to to 802.11G and vice versa, but still nothing...
As i wrote before, i don't have wireless router i just have an ordinary router and then wireless USB card in one of the computers, so i can connect with my laptop to internet over this card. With laptop it works excelent.
So, can anyone suggest what kind of OS should i install on my HTC in order to fix this, and where can i get one?
TNX for so far, and TNX in advance for any further information or suggestion!
Still having problems...i tried everything...
i tried to connect to wireless network at friend's wireless router...TyNT found a signal, everything was just fine, then asked me for key (friend has WEP protection), i typed the password, and then i couldn't connect again...
I havo no clue whatsoever anymore...
Anyone with same problem?? Any suggestions?
Tnx in advance for any advice...
hmm...
I guess it is a hardware problem with my tynt's WI-FI...i can't think of anything else... i tried everything, still can not connect...
Im getting quite desspered with this HTC... i guess i'll sell it and buy NOKIA N95 or something like that...
well, if someone by any chance know where the problem is, i thanks in advance for every advice or suggestion
TNX

I have nothing to contribute as we have similar problems. I have learned from other users that development team from Htc is preparing a patch which will be released in two months time. Let's wait for it then.
wifi
same problem here ...
I have tried to flash older radio didn't help ...
I have tried disable wep on my router ... didn't help
I'm just in a loop of AVAILABLE-->CONNECTING-->AVAILABLE etc.
please if someone finds a solution (patch) for this problem post it to this thread.
still there?

Hi!
I'm just wondering are there any solutions been found?
Or it's definitely hardware problem?
WBR!
problem
so Ive found my problem ....
Ive upgraded firmware in my router to newest version and problem appeared.
When I've removed encryption wpa2 and set my router to no encryption my wifi worked again.
So I've bought different wifi router and I've no problems now.
So anyone who is having dead wifi in hermes try to deactivate wifi encryption and try a different router (friends house or public wifi hotspot)

Recently bought my wife one of these devices and just spent two whole days looking for a solution and that was it.. mixed mode - I had mine set to "G" only! Sometimes the solution is too simple for the geek to be able to spot I guess - maybe the wife would have found it faster!
Thanks for the solution.. as with all forums I always suggest a FAQ with these solutions or links to the threads/posts with these tips and resolutions.

Lucky... Mine did not connect anymore, flashed black majik over schaps3.6 and voilla! worked again... without touching the router.... Will try last schaps tonight.... I´m tired of flashing and reinstalling....
Is anyone else having issues with the WiFi stalling and having to reset it, even though signal strength shows as excellent?
It's not a channel interference issue as I know what channels are in use, plus its doing the same on 3 different networks where other devices work fine, I'm using WiFi fixer to reconnect but its still problematic.
What have others found to be the best solution?
Samme issue here. Wifi keeps on disconnecting/loosing the connection and is most of the time unable to reconnect. Have to either turn wifi off/on or choose "forget" and reconfigure the AP my Hero in order to get it to work again.
It´s a Linksys WRT54GX running WPA/WPA2 + TKIP.
Have used an iPhone 3G on the same router for a year now without ´any´ problems.
I'm using WiFi quite often but I don't have this problem with my Hero.
Are you absolutely sure that there isn't any interference? It might be that the Hero is just a bit more sensitive than your iphone.
Today I found G-mon at Market which scans around for WiFi-networks. Perhaps you'll find out that there is a network that's interfering constantly. I've had that a few years ago and then found out that the bus-company uses WiFi on their busses which uses the same channel as I did with my WiFi-network.
Thx for the tip. Checked and no interference.
Also having this problem with a Linksys WRT54G. No WPA though.
I don't trust this router at all; using WPA and connecting a Dell Axim X51v to it in the past used to knock out WLAN on router, needing a hard reset.
same problem here. Wifi is disconnecting randomly within a few meters from the Airport extreme. It also reconnects again...most of the time....without me doing anything.
i'm also having problems with wifi - using a linksys befw11s4 with wep. i've got everythign else turned off - have followed all the instructions i can find here in the forums, and not had any success :/
If you press the Menu button in the Wifi settings you can select Advanced. There's an option there that defines when Wifi is disconnected. If you set this to Never than the Wifi connection will be stable. (At least in my case it is).
Again, thx for the tip but this is not really considered a "solution" but rather a workaround.
I don't like the idea of having it on "allways on". A real battery drainer and it shouldn't be necessary.
I had similar issues with my wifi (Linksys WRT160NL) until I installed "Wifi Fixer" from the market on my hero. Since then wifi runs without problems!
I had similar problem, Linksys WRT54G v1.0 running fairly old (but latest available) Linksys firmware, with WPA/PSK.
Yesterday, re-flashed router to Tomato (based on HyperWRT), setup for WPA2/PSK(AES) and now all is working perfectly, no problems at all.
So looks like some incompatibility between the Hero and the Linksys firmware, for WPA.
Well, I'm running the latest firmware for my router but have now done some other configuration changes and it seem somewhat consistent with your findings.
Previously it was running in a "WPA, WPA2 + TKIP" mode but it has now been working flawlessly since I change it to "WPA2 + AES". Hence:
- WPA2
- AES
=
- WPA, WPA2
- TKIP
=
Info, update on the router: I'm having a WRT54GX, not WRT54G.
interesting; I had no choice but to upgrade, as the newest firmware for the v1.0 WRT54G doesn't - I believe - support WPA2.
Since I had many other wireless clients working fine with WPA (not WPA2), but not the Hero, one wonders if there are some WPA bugs on the Hero that get tickled by older routers, or just that the Hero is being less lenient than other clients.
glad yours is better too, anyway
I found that wifi performance and stability on the hero improved a lot when I changed my AP from dynamic 802.11 b/g/n operation to 802.11g only. I've seen other boxes with linux having similar issues with this AP (D-Link DIR-655), which points towards a driver issue. Wifi works better on Linux kernel 2.6.30 and later on notebooks so things should improve once HTC produce a build that include a more recent kernel. Wifi was quite a headache on notebooks too with the drivers in kernel 2.6.27.x that is included in the current hero firmware.
I have same problem - frequent line drops whne full strenght signal shows
I also have a Linksys WRT54G - never had any problems before.
tried wep and wpa -no difference.
Also tried some "always On" utility from the market place, it only helped reset it quicker.
As stated above, mine got more stable when fixing router to WPA2+AES but I now realize that I still do experience connectivity issues, although less frequently then before...
i don't think this has anyting to do with the router. I got a router from HUAWEI,forgot its brand, but not linksys for sure. I've tried the university wifi as well. they all have the same issue.
Mine is working great with a Belkin.
Looks like a problem with the Linksys firmware.
Anyone tried a firmware upgrade on the router?

Indeed, if you read up just a few posts, you'll find that question answered
that said, although things seemed initially to get better, I'm still seeing regular drop-outs with the upgraded router, and now still with the Hero upgraded to the HTC 2.0 ROM.
I do note that it seems to drop most when I'm sitting quite close to a different strong wireless client, e.g. a laptop. Perhaps the Hero just isn't a strong enough signal, and gets swamped?
Anyone else notice a correlation between dropouts, and proximity to other clients?
I can't seem to get my Tab to recognize the WEP WiFi internet sharing network that is on my Tilt2 (Rhodium) WMPPC. My netbook, my two full-sized notebooks, and my desktop all can simultaneously connect to the WM phone (in fact I am right now on this netbook to post this), but for whatever reason the Galaxy Tab can't even find the WEP network my WM phone is generating much less connect to it.
The entire reason I bought the Tab was to connect to my WM phone like the phone was a mobile wireless router. ???
Anyone had this issue? I'm sure a number of you came from a WM phone and used wifi router feature. And the Tab looks like it supports WEP networks and encryption.
Update: installing a warlogger style applet on the Tab called "Wifi Tracker" finds the WM-generated WEP nework. So is it Samsuing's native wifi setup that blows?
It finds my WM network as [WEP][IBSS].

I know this doesn't help you one iota, but for what it's worth, my Tab can pick up HTC Desire as a mobile Hotspot without issue. I normally use WPA2, but I just tried using WEP and I had no problems either.
So, I don't think there's anything intrinsically "wrong" with the Tab, though I have a Euro Tab running the very latest JMA firmware which may be significant.
If I had an WinMo phone to test with, I'd give it a go, but I don't, so I can't!
I presume that your WinMo phone is created a proper access point, and not an adhoc (point-to-point) network?
EDIT: Ok, just googled and found that IBSS means it is an ad-hoc network, and not an access point which means that "out of the box" Android devices can't attach to it.
This thread may help you.

Hi all,
The network that I use is WPA enterprise 802.11 EAP. When 2.3 came out I immediately tried several builds, but none of the them worked with my wifi network.
In fact, several 2.2 builds don't work either, but after I replaced the wpa supplicant of the build with the desire build's, it started working.
Recently I tried pongster's HyperdroidGBX and that worked perfectly, with any need for modification. However, after a few days it stopped working entirely. I have attempted to modify with wpa supplicants and have even replaced the default kernel with one that worked in 2.2, but to no avail.
I am wondering if this is due to some certificate issue that is embedded in the build. my network may use a certificate so it is conceivable that it has expired, and this build is unable to requistion a new certificate.
I'd greatly appreciate it if someone with experience could help me out.
Thanks in advance!
I am having the same problem. It seems EAP is more complicated and not all developers have an access to it.
I a having major problem with wpa wifi networks too. I can connect to the network fine, but after a few seconds or at most minutes, I seem to get disconnected. Pinging any host from a shell gives me "no route to host" errors, but the system indicates that wifi is still connected. To date I have not managed to get a stable connection with any router set to wpa, no matter what settings/encryption scheme I set on the router. Note that wep and open networks work fine though, so I would imagine that it's not a hardware problem (right?).
Have you managed to solve this problem by any chance? Could you direct me to the alternative wpa_supplicant you used so I can try it out as I'm at my wits' end with this problem?
I cannot understand how there aren't more people having this problem!
