Wifi Problems On Cingular 8125

Hello to all
I have problems trying to connect through wifi on my new 8125.
After reading a lot of threads, i downloaded a program called hitchiker, who solves the wifi connection a lot easier and faster, but i keep getting the same error, the wifi connection appears, it connects but can not solve the ip address with the dhcp server and fails...
Can anyone told me if this is a hardware problem or a firmware issue?
my router is a netgear WG602 v2 with the last firmware available.
Thanks and happy new year to all!!

ddo you have mac filtering on? if so try turning it off

No, i used to have a wep security password, but i reset all settings on the router to factory, to try to connect.
i also have a laptop and a psp and both connect great!!
dont know what the problem is here, but its frustating...

I make it to work
first i did a hard reset, then i check on the log of the access point, and it was going through and forwarding the connection to the adsl router, but the problem apparently was on the dhcp server on the router.
i add a fixed ip, and now it works
still not working on dhcp but at least its working...

I'm having almost the same problem.
First I've tried to connect on my open lan in my house. I could connect, but couldn't get an IP automaticaly.
Today I went to the mall to try some open wifi lan. A friend of mine, with a Nokia n80 succsessfully connected with one of the hotspots. I've tried and couldn't get an IP. Suddenly, don't know why, I got connected, but couldn't surf at the web.
Then I realized that the fixed Ip that I've set before was still on. Changing it for dinamic didn't work.
So, I still can't get an IP.
Any Ideas?

htc3600 can't connect to my wifi router

Hi,
i have strange problem with my htc 3600 and siemens wifi dsl router se568. My ppc connects to router but i can't ping router or access internet or any other computer on network. Strange thing is that my ppc connects to other wireless networks without problems. I tried 2-3 laptops and they connect to siemens router. Also i tried some other pocket pcs and they connect also to my siemens router. only combination that doesn't work is my htc 3600 and router.
Anyone has any suggestion how to solve it?
One more thing i use WPA-PSK TKIP encryption.

Ok found solution. For some strange reason when I put wifi preferences fon pda Best Performance it connects and works fine. When i return it to Best Battery it will not connect. Strange. Probably it is something with my wifi router.

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

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.

I have the same problem. BUMP. Anyone?

i finally got my tech dept. to install the tether modem drivers so i dont need the wifi but i sure would like to have it instead of the wired tether. so still need a fix.
thanks

From what I understand it's not possible to have a phone show up a a regular router. It's a hardware limitation. It shows up as a adhock network because it's a computer and not actually a router.

[Q] Problem connecting to Netgear WiFi Router.

I have my Tattoo rooted with 1.6 (can't recall the ROM name) with build number 1.67.405.6. Almost everything works fine except the connection with my home WiFi network. It's a PPPoE connection through ADSL modem. Next in line is the Netgear WG602 v3 WiFi router. At the beginning I couldn't connect at all so I changed the router's ROM to DD-WRT. Now I can connect with the router but no connection to the internet whatsoever. I can ping my router through my Tattoo, I can even open the 192.168.1.1 and mess around with its software but no connection to the internet. It is only limited to my Tattoo as I can connect through my laptop, through my other mobile (HTC S710) and also I can connect my Tattoo with any other WiFi (Secured or Open) with no problems at all.
I tried with no Security, with WEP, with WPA-PSK to no avail. Any other clues?

try running htc mail while you are using your wifi throuf your tattoo it worked for me

What is supposed to happen if I do that? I'm trying it as soon as I get home btw.

Nothing happened

Hi all...sorry for my interference but this problem is similar to mine.
I'm going mad from many weeks trying connect my Huawei Ideos (U8150) to my home wlan through a netgear VG602v3 AP. No way to do this.
Wifi works from my laptop and from my girlfriend's laptop, but from ideos it doesn't.
I turned off all wireless device in my house, I tried with/without WPA, I tried open network from channel #1 to channel #13, tried changing ssid and I also tried praying .
There is a weak wifi near here: it is on channel #1 and its power is between -89 and -82db. My wifi power (data from kismet) is between -50 and -18 db and is configured on channel #11.
In any cases, even if I put my Ideos near to AP antenna the story is ever the same:
- Ideos indentify the wifi network
- Ideos acquire the IP
- I open the browser or the android market and...
- Ideos lose connection...and so on.
I downloaded from work wifi (crypted with WPA) a wifi scanner from app store: it shows me the neighbour's weak wifi and my wifi network which appear and disappear recurrently.
Please, someone helps me (without suggest to buy another AP!!), any suggestions are welcome!!

Have you tried logging into the router and checking the privileges for devices. Some of them have a security element that restricts the use of the internet on newly connected devices until the setting is changed. I had a similar problem with a new laptop.
hope it helps.

I checked every setting to no avail. I still think somehow that my problem is with my router or adsl modem which doesn't connect automatically with PPPoE and Android doesn't have any command or software to initiate a PPPoE connection.
Other than that... Can't find any solution. Until then, I use connectify on my Win7 laptop. The thing is that I have to keep my laptop switched on as long as I'm in the house.

thank you for suggestion. I looked in depth but I did not found the option of which you were talking about. The unique solution still remains change the AP!!!

WiFi and Netgear Router
I think I finally found the answer. It appears Netgear routers support something called WiFi Multimedia. Its a QOS methodology. I disabled WiFi MM or WIMM as its sometimes called, as well as Internet QOS and all my problems connecting to web pages, the market, etc. through WiFi disappeared.
Strange that older versions of the ROM supported WIMM (or ignored it) and newer ones don't. But that solved the problem for me with no real degradation of performance on any of my other computers.
Good luck.
