Setting up Sandisk wifi card with netgear ADSL wireless

Please can anyone help me. I have just recieved a sandisk wifi card but I am having trouble setting it up and connecting with my netgear wireless adsl router :evil: . Does anyone know where I can get step by step instructions for setting this up and all the settings I need?
Thanks

It would help if you told us which router model you have. What seem to be the problems, remember on routers you might have MAC filtering activated and also WEP encryption.

Sorry it is a Netgear DG834G. Having played with it all night, this morning I have now connected and can browse with PIE. No idea what connections I changed to get it working though, but would like to understand what I should have been setting.
Thanks

Can't make this combination work
Hi,
Have got the same router and Orange SPV M1000 on W2003 SE. Have been trying to make this work for a month now. There is no MAC address filtering and no Encryption. It did detect the router once or twice and worked fine once. But it has not worked since then. Have tried speaking to SANDISK, who said that there is a problem with the router and that I need to speak to Netgear. I also tried the Socket's drivers with the SANDISK WiFi, but no luck. Have checked all the settings etc but with no luck yet. The netgear router wirks perfectly all right with another Netgear USB Wifi adapter on a desktop machine. The problem is that the Sandisk WIFI cannot even see the netgear router (the 'Allow Broadcast of Name (SSID)' has been selected on the netgear router).
Can somebody help me out with this?
Thanks

Hi,
Try changing the Wireless Radio Channel to eleven (11).
Regards,

Thanks for your reply. It has been set to Channel 11 by default!

Hi,
There is a few thing that you can try.
1) Disable the encryption.
2) Disable the G mode.
3) Disable any of the multiplier mode. This means that to run the router at max of 11Mbit/s only.
Regards,
Kueh.

All done still no luck. It does not pickup the router.
DHCP has been enabled on Netgear router. Do I need to add any settings manually for this to work?
Raj

Some settings I have set that now allows me access to netgear router and on to the internet. Still need to understand if I can access files on PC.
Under connections/advanced/select networks (programs that automatically connect to a private network) My Work Network/proxy settings. Tick both and put in netgear router server IP address. In Advanced HTTP has same IP address.
Under Connections/advanced/network card/ My network connects to... the internet. Click on adapter (I used Socket drivers for Sandisk card) for IP address select Use server assigned IP address.
You then need to set up the router to allow you to have access.
Go into Wireless Settings.
Name (SSID) - the default given
Region - mine is Europe
Channel - mine is 11
Mode - mine is g & b
Wireless Access Point
Enable Wireless Access Point selected
Allow broadcast of name select
Wireless Station Access list
Click button
Select Turn Access control on
Add New Station manually
Type in a device name for your XDA
Type in the MAC address off the back of your Sandisk card
Press Add
Security options
Select WEP
WEP Security Encryption
Authentication type - Shared Key
Encryption strength - 128 bit
WEP Key
Passphrase - (I used a word and pressed generate)
Key 1 - was populated and selected (When connecting with XDAII I was asked for this Key)
I think that about sums it up. May have changed other settings in my frustration of trying to get it to work so no guarantees.
Regards

Tried everything as suggested by you. I just can't make it work. I can't even see the router in the available wireless networks lists. I have given up now!
Thanks for your help.

thanks for your help..

Have the O2 XDA Exec myself, but the settings should be the same, checked with my Acer N50 to make sure
Leap is blank for me too.
some setting differences betweens yours and mine
neither the NE2000 or tiacswln cards have been touched in anyway, left them as default.
mine is set to connect to 'The Internet'
the key is provided for me automatically is unchecked, I manually typed it in with the key index.
use Ieee 802.1x is unchecked
check the belkin setup page, and see if the XDAIIi is staying connected or it is connecting and disconnecting.
looking at the manual, check the Belkin setup page at Firewall/Client IP Filters and make sure the PDA isn't being blocked there. Also check that the Mac Address Filtering is not enabled, if it is, you will need to add the PDA MAC address into it.

Hi Wytey
Thaks a lot, your configuration works perfectly.

WiFi Connectivity Issues

Hi Guys!
I've been reading here as a guest for a while and finally took the leap to buy an iMate Jasjar. So far so good, buuuut...
I am trying to connect it to my home WiFi LAN and having some troubles.
The home WiFi AP is set to up as a gateway and connected to a router (ie AP = 10.0.0.10 and Router = 10.0.0.3). Therefore, a device connecting via a DHCP client which doesn't allow the gateway to be specified isn't very useful.
On the JasJar, I would like to be able to specify the IP, NetMask, Gateway, etc. Is there a way to do this?
Similarly, when I select the 'Configure Network Authentication' window on the JasJar and select Authentication = WPA and Data Encryption = TKIP, it auto-checks the 'The key is automatically provided' - which it isn't! The key needs to be manually entered.
Worse yet, in the next tab "Configure Network Authentication" it forces "Use IEEE 802.1x network access control" for PEAP (not supported on my AP) or "Smart Card or Certificate" (I have no smart card and I have no idea how to issue a certificate).
So sorry to be asking what must seem like gross newb questions, but I'm so keen to use my Jasjar with my wifi.
Is there a chance someone might know the answers?
Kind Regards - Virgil.

Is your AP a brodband router if so check DHCP configurations add the gataway to your DHCP config.
Explain what device you have probably some one may help you.
Kind regards
Howlingwolf

Thanks for the reply.
The devices in question are:
* JasJar (PPC/PDA, etc)
* Linksys WRT54GC (AP)
There does not appear to be provision for a general routing entry (ie all connections route from 10.0.0.10 (the AP/Gateway) to the router (10.0.0.3)). Unless I'm really missing something.
Cheers - Virgil.
EDIT: Entered bad IPs.

Wi-fi authenticated but not working.

Hi, I recently got my first WM device with Wi-fi (T-Mobile Vario III). I've been trying to get Wi-fi working with my network, but it doesn't seem to want to play!
I'm using WPA with AES, and using 802.1X authentication (my access point connects to my FreeRADIUS server). The same Linux box that runs the RADIUS server also runs the DHCP server for the network.
I'm using EAP-TLS authentication for the network (I based the setup for the network on this http://wiki.freeradius.org/WPA_HOWTO).
I've installed my root CA cert and intermediate CA cert (not covered in the howto, but I prefer to use and intermediate 'working' CA "just in case" ) on the Vario III. I also generated a client certificate/key for the Vario and installed it successfully on the device.
I then went on to Settings->Connections->Wi-fi and chose to add a new connection and did the following:
1) Entered the network name (SSID) and selected the "This is a hidden network" checkbox (also set it to be connecting to "The Internet" - I had to go to the network adapters tab as well and set the wi-fi adapter to be "The Internet" from "Work")
2) Selected authentication to be WPA and Data Encryption to be AES.
3) Selected the EAP type to be "Smart Card or Certificate" and went to properties. In the properties box I was shown the only personal certificate I have (i.e. the client certificate that I just installed for network authentication)
I then connect to the network, and get a User Name/Domain dialog (I don't really understand why). This is pre-populated with my name, but I've tried the following in this box (the only way to get it back after having entered something appears to be a hard reset - but there must be another way?):
1) The default provided (i.e. my name)
2) The CN for the personal certificate
3) Nothing
In each case I leave the 'Domain' field empty. With all three of the above the FreeRADIUS server reports successful authentication and the Vario III appears to be connected to the network. If I go to Settings->Connections->Wireless LAN, on the Advanced tab it says that it is 'Associated to network'
The problem is that even though I'm connected to the network and have been allocated an IP address (I have my DHCP server assign a specific IP address to specific MAC addresses), I cannot connect to any websites - I don't have anything over than Pocket IE installed on the device yet. I can't even connect to the management page for the AP that the Vario III is connected to.
This setup works perfectly from a WinXP box.
Has anyone got any ideas on what could be going wrong, or advise on how I can troubleshoot? Anyone know if there are logs stored on the device for wireless connectivity (either a log file or something like the event viewer in XP)?
Any help appreciated.
Thanks

Hi,
I have WiFi setup and running on my device, XDA Orbit, using WPA and AES.
First of all, whilst inside the Network Adapters tab, make sure that:
'My network card connects to': WORK
Secondly, in 'tap adapter to modify settings' you'll need to click on a particular network adapter card inorder to configure it.
In my case, I chose the SDIO WLAN Wireless Adapter. I then clicked the radio button 'Use specific IP address' and configured the IP address of my device, exactly as it is assigned in my Netgear wireless router.
If you haven't assigned a specific IP address to your device, just click the radio button next to 'Use server-assigned IP address'.
On the 'Advanced' tab of Wireless LAN, mine also reads 'Associated to network' as the status. It also has the MAC address of my device, followed by its IP address. The three fields were all filled up automatically, by the router. I never filled this up. However, I configured the router with the necessary details.
Troubleshooting:
1. Ping your device from your PC or notebook.
The idea is to be able to see if there is communication between your router and the device.
Example: at c:\>ping ......... (.....being the name or IP address of your device as entered in the router)
2. If you have a firewall, disable it now and ping again. This step is necessary because the firewall could be stopping your device from connecting to the router if it is not configured in the firewall's access list.
3. Go to your PC/notebook and type: ipconfig /all at the command prompt.
Hopefully, you should see the device's name come up as well as other parameters, including its MAC address.
4. Ensure that the device is allowed access to your internal network and configured as such, inside the router, using MAC address filtering. This means that you MUST ensure that the correct MAC address of the device has been entered.
Summary:
1. Configure your device inside the router - name/mac address or name/IP address
2. Configure your firewall to accept connections from the device
3. Ping the device as well as the router
4. If you have another computer, try and see if you can connect to the router from there.
5. Ensure that the router, PC or PPC are all on the same subnet. This is crucially important for communication amongst the devices.
By typing ipconfig /all, you will be able to determine as to whether all the computers as well as the PPC on your network are on the same subnet.
Many a network have failed through this problem.
Hope this helps.

802.1x Campus Network on Touch Pro/Fuze

Hey guys, I've been lurking for a few months now and have been able to figure out all my questions with the almighty search, but this is one that I'm having issues with.
I picked up the AT&T Fuze a couple weeks ago, and immediately flashed it to ROMeOS 1.40. Everything is working great, except I am having problems connecting to my schools wireless network.
The campus uses 802.1x and WPA. On desktop and laptop machines connected to the network, they require the use of Cisco Clean Access.
Here is the link to the ITS (Information Technology Services) page that covers smartphones, PDAs, etc...not very detailed is it? http://its.truman.edu/documentation/index.asp?docId=327
I'm trying to connect with the following settings:
Best performance power mode
Network Name: TrumanSecureWireless
Connects to: The Internet
Authentication: WPA
Data Encryption: AES
Checked "The key is automatically provided"
Checked "Use IEEE 802.1x network access control
EAP Type: PEAP
When I try to connect to the network, the device says "Connecting", but eventually quits and just goes back to "Available" Shouldn't it prompt me for my network user ID and password at least?
iPhones and iPod Touches are able to connect to the network (http://its.truman.edu/documentation/index.asp?docId=331&audienceId=), so I figure my superior WM6 device should be able to as well.
For what it's worth, I have tried the registry tweak listed here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-284534.html with no luck.
I'd really appreciate it if anyone had any other suggestions. Thanks!
