Hi everyone, im new here
I just got my X10 yesterday. Now I have a problem on using wifi in my univ campus.
The wireless network is encrypted with WPA2-Enterprise. However I can't find wpa2-enterprise option in the wifi configuration, only wpa2-personal. It seems like wpa2-enterprise is supported by android, since my HTC Hero can work with wpa2-enterprise.
Is there any way around to let wifi in X10 work with wpa2-enterprise?
thx~
It seems really X-10 it is not yet an enterprise phone.
I need to use wep in my company with key index 3 and there is no way to select itnly the default 1.
theoretically android 1.6 supports wpa enterprise, but dunno why doesnt work on our x10

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.

I have a vodafone uk hd2 and have been really impressed with it as a product. I have not had any luck with the supplied wifi router software, I go through the minimal setup and press start and as far as the phone is concerned the router is up and running, the problem i have is that neither of my laptops can see the router.
Has anyone had any luck using it? Is it possible that vodafone have disabled it somehow?
Alternatively so i can manually add the router does anyone have the following details that would be setup automatically;
wep in use? is it 128 pass phrase or 40/128 key?
open system authentication or shared key?
im guessing the wep index would be 1?
Thanks
Search .. it was discussed 10 times already.
Thats as maybe but none of the several threads have a real answer as to why some people have it working and others dont. It also seems that the functionality can be effected by soft reset which isnt ideal at all. Also i havent been able to find any of the above original settings that i asked for in the threads hence the post.
Works for me
Hi,
works great for me - just have to make sure that you're not connected to WLAN with the HD2 when trying. Disabling WLAN, then starting WIFI-Router does the trick for me.
Good luck !
I am on vodafone and wifi router works perfectly for me. It worked when I had the stock 1.43 rom and it works with all the cooked roms I have used since.
i did notice it only works with 802.11g not with 802.11b devices like PSP or some other phones..
Is that really the case that it only works with 802.11g devices? Im fairly sure my netbook isnt new enough to have 802.11g and as such probably wont see the router. Has anyone found a way to get the router visible to 802.11b devices?
Wonder if u have enable the N band function . I think Wi fi router will not work properly when it is enable. I did numerous testing with my laptop and iphone . When n band is enable on HD2 , Iphone can surf net thru HD2 but not the laptop . When n band is disable , device can connect no problem ..... So , to get wifi router to work , just have to stick with g band until someone can solve the issue .
Just to add on my previous post , I tried using WMWIFIRouter , also come back to same result ....

The N band doesn't work anyway on the HD2.. better turn it off.. just because there's a parameter in the registry doesn't mean it works..
I have a N router at home and while it looks like it's doing N and it states "auto" instead of 54mbs, it still connects to the narrow band channel on the router..
N Works

N Works. I have a Linksys WRT320N router that can operate on N only, and the phone connects fine (at regular 2,4 ghz, the new 5 ghz doesn't work). Didn't speedtest.
I tried the standard sharing prog and wmwifi router (different versions) and can only, with a lot of effort, get my laptop on the net through the BT of my HD2. I have the N tweak on. Also did the trying in range of the router.
Any chance it's the computer you are trying to connect with? Tried with my work computer, but couldn't because our Dells have computer to computer(adhoc) connections locked out for security. Does the wifi router function show up as adhoc or access point?

ok, now try and get N speed with only one antenna...
Ok Ive got a similar problem with the wifi router and vodafone
everything works hunky dory wifi router turns on, computer connects all is good only when i try and access a website i get a http error 403 forbidden message as if voda have restricted access i have no idea how this would be possible though.
Ive tried many site same result and many browsers chrome, safari, ie, firefox and opera
same thing
the strange part is that tweetdeck and skype work while the browsers don't
HHMMM
anyone else experienced this problem
As I'm on O2 I was quite keen to flash a new ROM to get the wifi router working as they did the dirty on us by ripping it out of the 1.43 they shipped it with...suffice to say that I'm not overly impressed with it after the couple of trials I've made using 1.66 ROM as the speeds its capable of generally fall short of what you get if you simply connect it via usb and use data sharing..bear in mind that I've only tried it twice so far and as such I may refine my opinion with further trials in different locations but as I was hoping to avoid repeatedly connecting leads to the usb socket it's a bit of a blow sooner or later, wear and tear will be an issue to think about.
my findings
had a play with the router, just to see and initially thought it wasn't working.it connected, but wouldn't pass any data.
25 minutes of my best network technician skillz later still no joy... that is until I remembered the laptop has a fixed ip and default dns server address set. as soon as I set them to automatic, bingo, fully working.
did a speed test from the laptop (mobilespeedtest.com) and got just under 900kbit over 3g. winner!
The connection only shows as 802.11b, but that's fast enough for the 3g connection so no worries.
the only down side is that it's adhoc, so the wifes n95 doesn't see it..but then again thats possibly a blessing In disguise!
EDIT as mentioned by the poster below, I had three connections present, (wap.o2.co.uk, mobile.o2.co.uk and paymonthly.o2.co.uk) and the router wouldn't work on them all, though I forget now which it would and which it wouldn't.
I never tried with 1.43 O2 ROM, but after flashing to 1.66 stock rom I just tried this.
For some reason I have 3 internet connection options:
1) Pay monthly contract
2) o2 active
3) mobile web
My standard connection is "mobile web" so I tried this first, and my laptop couldnt see the HD2 as a WIFI router. I then tried the "pay monthly contract" option and it worked straight away.
Now under my Notifications screen under O2 3G UK, I have two connections running, and the download speeds running the same as my home broadband due to the HSPA connectivity available through the phone.
Anyway, I just thought I would share this with anyone it may help.
Hello every body
I'm unable to conncet to wifi networks that require web based log in.. did any one face the same issue?
Sorry, haven't had the chance to try web based login yet.
However, I've got another wi-fi question (hope it's OK to post it in this topic):
Is it possible to connect X10 to WPA2-EAP networks? Using a computer, my regular user name and password gets me in without problems. Using X10, I just get "disconnected". The problem might be that there are four different boxes to fill in - two types of user names and two types of passwords. (Sorry, I can't get to the exact names when I'm not nearby that network.) Does anyone know what type of info I should put in each box?

I've tried WPA2 enterprise and I think not all EAP are supported. I tried in an university campus (using eduroam in europe) and cannot connect. It surprises me because HTC Hero (also Andriod 1.6) can connect but it must be a tweak of HTC not standard in android 1.6.
Hi
I have a wifi problem.
If I have wifi "on" and do a reboot, somtimes the wifi is "off" after the reboot.
@ eyeweaver
If you mean things like University networks, they need a proxy server which Android 1.6 doesn't support.
For those experiencing WiFi disconnections, I have found something quite interesting.Please take a look HERE

Hey, I just got my Xperia X10 to work in our university wifi. WPA-EAP PEAP with MSCHAPV2. I used the app Wifi-Config Editor Pro from the market. You don't even need to root your phone. I hope this works on everyone else also. I was so thankful with the developer. This app saved my phone.
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,
as there are no threads about this (i havent found anything), i will post a new one.
my main question is: is it possible to get a wifi connection on your phone and share this connection at the same time through wifi (so you get a wifi hotspot or whatever)? (android, windows mobile, windows phone -> whatever, got a HD2)
it works on multiple computers with windows 7, but i never got how to do that with ma HD2.
hopefully,
sallal
EDIT: forgot the [Q] thing, sry
as no one replies
#push
they're are many apps that can do this, just search WIFI tether in the market (android), IDK about WM7 though.
For android you can also run CM7 which has tethering built into it. I use it and it works like a charm, it's fast too.
Sorry for my question ,but with this program i can use my tablet as a router?
I have 3G so i can use this connection for internet and WIFI for make my tablet a router?
the app allows you to "tether"/use your device as a router. SO yes.
The are CMInternetSharing package that is used to share internet connection from a Mobile (that we get using GPRS/3G) as a WiFi Router to others...
If you have a WiFi Connection that your mobile is consuming then what is the need for re-sharing same connection from mobile?
Let me know if I am not sure about the question
Thanks.
Am no expert but i think this is true...
A wireless device can either be used as a client or as a router, you would need 2 wireless interfaces to do what you are looking for. When the tether apps start they configure your wireless interface as a router... I dont believe it can be running as both types at once.
but you most defenetly could use your 3g or whatever cell signal you have and offer it thru a wifi interface, you must have root access.
Cheers
maybe there is a way
you could switch the wifi with a 3g lookalike so 3g uses your wifi and then download a wifi tether i am looking for this quit a time and i diddn't found anything but this is al theory
I do it with a stock app of my device, it's calls "3g mobile's wifi point"

hmm that would be a thing i should look at...
i always used on windows 7 "connectify me", a program made for taking wireless internet connection or LAN and sharing it at the same time as a router.
the virtual wifi miniport is used for this i suppose.
maybe there is something like the virtual miniport to manage in windows mobile or android?

I use one from the XDA forums, search for wifi router
It works great on my HD2 with WINMO
sir,i have already mentioned.....try "mhotspot" easily converts ur lap/pc into wifi hotspot(n/w will be detected by android mobiles,worked for my ACE) its better than connectify because..we dont need to install it..and soo we can over come protocol related problems and system instability issues
