hi all,
according to o2 mini s has Integrated Wireless LAN (802.11b/g)
http://www.my-xda.com/xdaminis_spec.html
but i couldnt find a way to switch between b/g or is it possible manual switch?
anyone? :roll:
I think in some roms its disabled for example the T Mobile rom. Im not sure there is a way to switch it on or off on the Wizard. Either way just set your router to mixed if possible. You really wont see any difference between b or g on your wizard anyway. The only reason I would see for being able to connect to G is connecting to routers that are set to G only.
There is no setting on the device I can see. I don't believe its a 'g' device capable of 54 Mbits, I think this is just marketing. Its a 'b' device which can connect to b or g. Just like blueangel, alpine, universal.
Can anyone prove otherwise?
thanks guys I’ve asked that because i have connection blockage problem with my wireless router, it suddenly happens and while connection to router is alive and working I can't send or receive any data from internet or from other wireless connected pcs, only way to get it going is turn wifi off and on, i reckon its something to do with router then

My Qtek Wizard establishes connections up to 54 MBit/s, when disabling the power saving mode. Usually connection bandwidth is 18 MBit/s with standard settings.
So Wizard is definitely 802.11g capable!
So disabling the power save mode kicks G in then ?
I don't think it is a big deal G or B, wifi is nice, but the processor is so slow that can not deal with more data speed than b.
only personal opinion.
Happy New Year to every one on this forum
I think 802.11g is only available after a firmware upgrade. Seem to recall reading somewhere that the Qtek and I-Mate branded one have had this done and the T-Mobile and O2 ones haven't.
Next O2 rom update maybe.

Interesting. So you are setting power save mode to 'best performance' in order to disable?
Where are you seeing the connection speed, this is on your router?
I'm not doubting you but I'd like to see for myself. Thanks.
I just rechecked the g-issue more detailed.
Allthough changing power saving settings to "best performance" I couldn't achieve more than 18 MBit/s again. Maybe the display of 54 Mbit/ before were caused by some bug in my router.
The bandwidth is shown in the "WLAN monitor" menu of my WLAN router (AVM "Fritz!Box Fon WLAN 7050").
After switching to 802.11g-only mode my Wizard wouldn't reconnect or find the WLAN at all.
But 18 MBit/s is a speed step, that is used in 802.11a and g only. 802.11b+ doesn't have a speed step between 11 and 22 MBit/s. (see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/802.11#802.11a)
So my Wizard 18 MBit/s must establish a (obviously not 100% standard-conforming) 802.11g connection.
i was just on the club imate site lookin at the k-jam specs and heres what is says:
-IEEE 802.11b/g/e*/i* compliant
-Internal WLAN antenna
-11, 5.5, 2, and 1 Mbps per channel, auto fallback for extended range
*Will be supported soon via free ROM update from clubimate.
I'm wondering if there's help beyond those who travel down into the wizard forums about wifi on my device.
I have a Cingular 8125 flashed with Summiter's AKU2.3 Test2 rom. This has the 2.25.11 Cingular radio version installed, and I'm having wifi issues. My questions are as follows:
Does the radio version have anything/everything to do with the performance of wifi in the Cingular 8125?
Are there additional tests that I can see where the hangup is getting my device to work with a belkin pre-n router model F5D8230-4; Firmware Version 1.01.03.
Problem: My 8125 will not connect to a belkin pre-n router. It shows the network is available, it attempts to cnnect, then after about 5-7 seconds, it either says its unavailable for a few seconds, or it says the network is available but doesn't complete its connection. I've tried connecting to the router on all performance settings for wifi on my device, same behavior continues.
It WILL connect to a Linksys SRX 100 router, but performance is erratic. If I let it sit too long, it will timeout, and never get new data from websurfing... instead I have to disable the wifi, re-enable it, and get it to reconnect to the router, then wifi works again. It works for varing lengths of time, typically when I don't let it idle, it keeps the connection.
I'm unsure what will fix this problem. The radio in the original test AKU2.3 by summiter did the same thing as the newer radio packed in test2 - which is the radio version called 2.25.11 i believe.
Best hopes to a few chaps who can help me out here.
I did have Sum Sum installed, which related to the 802.11g registry mod, I've also tried removing that and still same performance. Any help?
WiFi issues after AKU2.3 upgrade
Hey mengesb,
I was just wondering... is your router a 802.11b or 802.11g?
I managed to connect to a computer using Internet Connection Sharing(ICF) on a g-wireless card, but I can not connect to a b-router. The logs on my router say the phone repeatedly managed to connect.
I had been connecting to both these setups everyday before I did the upgrade.
Hopefully this may help break down the problem.
The wireless router that I have the biggest issue with is a Belkin Pre-N router, so technically its 802.11g
Hey Mengesb,
I found an article on 4winmobile.com that might help solve your problem.
Here is what they say about pre-N routers:
One caveat for those using their HTC Prodigy with Belkin Pre-N Routers: You must update the Router firmware to V1.01.03 (available from the Belkin Download Page ). This is not necessary for the HTC Universal (O2 Exec, iMate Jasjar etc) which uses a different hardware WiFi system.
Unfortunately the updated Belkin firmware will not connect to the XDA IIi or XDA IIs, so if you own one of these and a MiniS, you will need to choose which one will be able to connect.

I also found out that that I had to reboot my router (Dlink DI614+ 802.11b) everytime I try to connect with my Wizard because even after disconnecting, the router still has the wizard registered as connected.
Hope that helps.

I'll check this out at my earliest convience but we'll see what happens. From what the router says - there's no newer firmware that is needed for the router. I'll see if this one is compatible, but the lat time I firmwared their router, heh, i nuked it - wrong firmware (pictures were SO the same!) anyway... they got this as a replacement.
Wifi disconnect
Having exact same issue as mengesb with WiFi disconnecting after 5-15 seconds (seems to hang on longer while I'm actively using WiFI, but disconnects nevertheless). I'm using the official download from HTC website
ROM 2.25.11.1 WWE
Date 5/6/06
Radio 02.25.11
Did a Hard Reset with no change in behavior. I'm using 802.11g (linksys WRV54G v2.37 firmware) and I had no WiFi issues using old original ROM (1.something) that I got with my Cingular 8125. When Wifi disconnects, the phone dutifully connects to EDGE/GPRS correctly and works fine, but slowly of course, through GPRS.
I've tried both answers to "My Network connects to ..." (Work vs Internet)
I've tried turning off cell radio (flight mode; then WiFi turned On)
Hmmmmph ...
try with the 802.11e QoS > setting in OFF in the Pre N settings, I did that and it worked!!!
im having the same exact issue with my new rom, the old one worked gread with my D-link 614 +, now it sees it but i wont connect unless you reset the router. Does anyone have any solution for this?
thanks
I reflashed my belkin today to the same firmware, and my mda couldnt connect (wizard 200). Disabling 802.11e did work, which implies that there is a bug in the mda with handling of 802.11e.
It may be worth noting this somewhere else as well since it may be that more APs will fail when 802.11e is enabled.
hi guys,
we have a wireless network at home with 4 laptops and 1 desktop which is the main computer connected to the netgear wireless router.
I have just purchased an o2 xdaiis, i tried connecting via wifi for 2 days with no success, then i decided to look at the settings on the router where i found the following
we had mode g which supports 802.11g
so i changed this to g+b which supports both 802.11g and 802.11b,i also had to change from channel 7 to channel 10 to get the laptops to work,but when doing this the main desktop didnt work,
this allowed me to connect with my xda and all laptops imediateley with excellent signal strengh,
The main desktop is my dads and he was not too happy when he came to connect so i had to put settings back to the original,
Could some one please help me with the connection on the main desktop computer with the g+b settings
Thanks in advance
Alan
there is a patch somewhere here that allows some of the phone (not sure about yours) to connect to g-mode (in b-speed). Try searching for it.
I wonder why the desktop is having problems with the new settings though.

Hi, thanks for the reply i just changed to channel 13 and all sorted,
Thanks
ps, great site
Ok I have search a good bit online surfing the net, and 3 calls to Belkin 3 calls to T-mobile and nothing. Now my wifi works everywhere else, and my labtops connect just fine to the router but it seems like the Belkin N has something blocking it (even tried a shadow with original ROM and would not connect). So I took all the security opitions off along with the firewall and it still failed to connect. If anyone has any solutions or ideas I am willing to try. Thanks guys

It is set for B/G/and N. And i dont know about the mac security set-up. But I have tried setting it to just G or B and N and nothing. Tell me more about this mac security set-up.
There is nothing wrong with your phone. The shadow/juno has an internal wireless card that only supports b/g wifi and it's currently not compatible with n radio signals. It will work perfectly with b/g wireless networks. So, if your router has a b/g/n setting, set it to that, but do not set the security settings into a newer format, stick with wep2 or wep and it should work with no problem. If you leave it on n setting only, the internal wireless card in the shadow will not support it. You also have to remember that n wireless is not that widely used and its barely catching on. Many new electronics are still being made with b/g internal wireless cards because they are widely avaliable and come in smaller sizes suitable for phones like the shadow. Currently n wireless cards are fairly expensive and i doubt it will be made avaliable on phones anytime soon as cost would be too high for manufacturing. Hope this helps.

Ok I understand that but I have tried that already with all my security off set on just G/B and by them self's also and it still will not connect. I went threw all of this on the phone with T-mobile and Belkin. But I appreciate the help.

i have the same problem
d*mn!
has anyone sort this thing out yet?
i have the same issue using stock TMO's ROM...
Just for the sake of discussion, I'm assuming that all of you have T-Mobile Shadow phones that work fine with other wireless routers or public access points? Any problems when turning on security settings on other wireless networks (those that you or your friend can manage)?
If the problems persist with other wireless networks while using your Shadow, chances are that your Shadow's wireless card is faulty, which is not unheard of.
Please comment on your phone's status.
Also, which model of Belkin N router are you all having problems with?
All N routers are typically backward compatible so setting them to mixed mode (B/G/N) would not affect the Shadow's Wifi capabilities.
AC, there's never a wep2...I guess you meant WPA & WPA2.
scenarios
First scenario:
Home
NETGEAR 802.11g/b WIRELESS ROUTER WITH WPA-PSK
RESULTS: fine.. shadow is working great on TMO's and erofich's rom
Second scenario:
GirlFriends HOUSE
NEXXT WIRELESS 802.11g/b WIRELESS ROUTER WITH WEP (cheap stuff)
RESULTS: Excellent, shadow is working fine on both roms
Third Scenario
MACDONALDS ROUTER
UNKOWN ROUTER WITHOUT SECURITY
RESULTS: FINE... Shadow gets connection.
----------------------------------------------------------
Last Scenario
OFFICE
Belkin N-Wireless Router F5D8233-4v3(01) with latest firmware update
Result: No way to get Shadow connected. Even WIthout Encryption, MAC address control off, B & G & N bands, UPNP Off, but my laptop does get WiFi Connection (just 11g compliant WiFi card)
Just to point out, I have the same problem with my Belkin Wireless N router. In the office, I can jump onto our Netgear Wireless N router without a problem. I also have no problem jumping onto any free McDonalds networks, the networks at friends' places, or the free network in the CambridgeSide Galleria out here near Boston. This is definitely not an isolated issue. Nobody with a Shadow can get on my home network.

I have an HTC Touch that can connect to other hotspots, but not to my home Belkin router. Sometimes, if there is another connection available, it can see the router, and says that it is Available, but cannot connect; other times it won't even see it. I have checked for firmware updates, but I have the latest. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Belkin Response Nov 14 2008 22:18
Hi Lilburd,
Thank you for contacting Belkin Technical Support.
We understand that the HTC Touch does not connect to the router. We apologize for the inconvenience caused.
Please follow the steps given below to update the firmware and configure the router:
We recommend that you update the firmware from a computer that is connected to the router with an ethernet cable.
Please download the latest firmware on the router from the link given below. Download the file "3.01.29":
http://www.belkin.com/uk/support/article/?lid=enu&pid=F5D8233uk4&aid=10288&scid=0
and save it to the computer.
- To update the firmware, log on to the router`s web interface by typing in http://192.168.2.1 in the address bar of the browser. The computer should be
connected to the router with an ethernet cable.
Note: If you have changed your Router’s IP address, use that IP address.
- By default, the password is blank. Click the "Submit" button.
- Click on "Firmware Upgrade" under the option "Utilities".
- Click on “Browse” and select the bin file that you have downloaded.
- Click on “update” and follow the wizard.
- After updating the firmware, restore the router to factory defaults by clicking on "Restore Factory Defaults" under "Utilities".

Please follow the steps given below for configuring the router:
- Connect the computer to the "LAN" port on the router and connect the modem to the Internet/"WAN" port, using Ethernet cables.
- Take a paper clip, insert the paper clip in the reset hole of the router and hold it for 15 seconds.
- The power light will flash and then come back "ON" solid, indicating that the router is being restored to factory defaults.
- The corresponding lights on the front of the router should be lit up.
- On the computer, check if you have an IP address in the range of 192.168.2.x.
- If not, specify a static IP address, gateway and "DNS" address by following the steps given in the link-
http://web.belkin.com/support/kb/kb.asp?a=2824

- By default, the password is blank.
- Click on "Connection Type" in the left hand column under "Internet WAN" heading.
If the connection type is Dynamic (cable):
- Choose "Dynamic" and then click on "Next".
- Type in your “Host Name”, if your Internet Service Provider has provided it. Else, leave it blank.
- Click on "Change WAN MAC Address".
- Click on the button "Clone".
- Click on "Apply Changes".
If the connection type is PPPOE (DSL):
- Choose "PPPOE" and click on "Next".
- Enter the user name and password given by your Internet Service Provider.
- Save the settings.
- Click on the "Home" link at the top of the screen.
Internet Status should show "Connected" on the top right hand corner of the web page.
If the problem persists, please get back to us with the following information:
1. Type of connection provided by your ISP (Is it PPPOE, Dynamic or static).
2. Name of the Internet service provider (ISP).
3. Version number of the router. You would find the version number on the bottom of the device. It would be a number in a series of thousands with a prefix “ver.”.
4. If the internet connection is stable on the computers using the router?
5. If the HTC Touch detects and connects to other networks in the neighborhood?
Lilburd, if you need further assistance please feel free to write back to us and we will be happy to assist you.
Regards,
Belkin Technical Support.

The same happened to me. I also have a Belkin pre-n router and my HTC Tytn wouldn't get wifi, no matter how or what I tried. I read your comment yesterday and, although the no-so-great new firmware check utility on the web interface said there was no new firmware available, I checked the USA and UK sites, since the Spanish site doesn't even show this router anymore. I downloaded 3.01.29 from the USA site and now my HTC Tytn is getting wifi at last. Thanks a lot, you saved my day.
hi,
i'm french using freebox ADSL modem (Full dégroupé) V5. I've bought an Acer Iconia 500...all was great no problem with wifi connection.
I've just changed 5 days ago my frebbox V5 for the new one the V6...and then no more wifi connection for my Iconia A500.
I don't understand because all parameters of the V5 freebox are pushed by the free management operator's site in the new one.
I've checked in the freebox management software all informations are the same like old version.
All my others PC (notebooks & Netbooks) or Smartphones (Samsung Galaxy S) find and can use the wifi signal of the new Freebox.
In this new box (Freebox) diffrence is just an 802.11n implementation (V5 = G mode).
I've tried to downsize wifi signal from N to G, but problem still continue.
Has some one an idea or solution???
Thank you all for your help.

Marc
Is there an option to set the network to Ad-Hoc or Infrastructure? The A500 can not use Ad-Hoc, so you need to set it to Infrastructure. If the A500 does not even display the network, then this is probably the problem. I had the same problem when using my iPhone as an access point. All other pcs could see the network except the A500.
if there is a reset button on the modem, just pressed it and reset all settings..
my friends problem gone with that..
