Wifi Doesn't Work On A Blue Angel!

Hello...
I had Wifi working perfectly on my MDAIII for a very brief period. But it hasn't worked since!
Only by putting the phone into Bootloader mode and starting from scratch brings it back.
It says that it is connected to my network OK. There is very good signal strength. But it only seems to connect once and never again (Internet Explorer says it can't find the page)
I also can't connect to a Wifi point at my local coffee shop, so I know it's not my equipment.
I have tried fixing the IP address but this doesn't work too.
This is really annoying as that was the main reason for getting the damn phone!
The Wifi unit is a Belkin 54g F5D7630-4A running the latest firmware.
My MDAIII is:
ROM Version: 1.22.00 WWE
ROM Date: 10/22/04
Radio Version: 1.06.00
Protocol Version: 1337.38
ExtROM Version: 1.22.162 WWE
Thank you.

Hi there, I seem to remember a similar problem the first time I tried to connect to my wifi network...
Unfortunately, it not working on a another AP doesn't mean your wifi box is ok, the problem could be with your pda and/or your wifi box.
I'm guessing you've tried going right back to basics? Turn all security on your wifi box off (might want to disconnect any sensitive lan members first!) remove all pda-based wifi settings, get a 'second opinion' machine and fire it all up. If your alternative pc/xda can see the conn, then the problem is in your MDA... Like you needed someone to tell you that!
Assuming your pda sees your wifi box and connects, make sure you tell it to connect to the internet. Then it may be worth checking that your new wifi connection will work if you enable wep (I like running with security on and get twitchy when it's off!) making sure you've copied the key as a txt file to your pda first!
If you can't connect at all, and the second box can, it would seem your device is dead... Sympathies, talk to your supplier...
Hopefully it's not tho! Can you connect to the MDA from within the LAN, maybe even by pinging it? You can get the IP address of your pda by going through start, settings, connections tab, network cards, network adapters tab, wifi adapter (on my XDA that's the 'tiacxwln" one). I have a dhcp server on my network and so use a server-assigned IP address, but either way you'll be able to get the address here. Try to ping it from the second machine. There is a toolkit called VXUtils (http://www.cam.com/windowsce.html) which I find invaluable in all things tcp/ip.
If it's the same problem I had, then all this will work (can connect to local area network) and you will be really frustrated by now! In the end, I seem to remember, it came down to the fact that my pda was set to shared security and the wifi box was set to open... Making sure that they are set to the same authentication method fixed things. After I upgraded roms, I had a similar problem that was resolved by telling it it connected to the work network, soft rebooting, changing that back to internet and soft rebooting again.
HTH, please post any and all results and I'll see if I can help more/at all!

K-Jam WiFi Configuration - noob query

Hi.
Having not had much dealings with mobile devices since the early ericssons, I took the plunge this week and managed to obtain a KJam. So far I'm pretty impressed, however despite spending most of today reading posts and experimenting I've have yet to get more than a couple of seconds of wireless surfing through my home network. I've read a number of posts here and this seems to be the place to ask, so here goes: (apologies for the long post)...
KJam info:
ROM v1.1.9.3
ROM date 9/16/05
Radio version: 01.01.10
Protocol version: 4.0.13.16
ExtROM version: 1.1.9.104
Network
DLINK DI-624+ wireless router running in mixed mode SSID broadcast disabled WPA-PSK TKIP encryption.
Problem
I'm able to authenticate and obtain an IP address - I've confirmed this based on the router logs and using vxIPConfig on the K-Jam. Mail operations and surfing then respond with Page not found / unable to find server messages, although the connection appears to maintained on both ends.
Occasionally I'm able to send /receive mail / load the IE homepage, however this is rarely achieved (roughly 1 per 20 attempts). Occasionally the GPRS connection is initiated when using IE / Pocket Outlook; this side of things works as expected.
To me it seems as though IE fails to recognise the WiFi connection, although I've noticed that when configuring the network it is not possible to uncheck IEE 802.1 network access when setting up for WPA-PSK TKIP authentication. Is this a possible reason for these issues?
I've spent the last day or so trying to get this working in vain so please any suggestions would be most gratefully received....
TIA

Solved?
As is the way with these things, I think I've sorted the problem.. It was probably obvious to some but something of a surprise to me...
Under the Wireless Lan applet in the Connections Settings I fiddled with the Power Save Mode. I hadn't moved this from the default midway point, but tried with the slider set to Best Performance. And then.... I didn't have to do anything else. Connected as before, however now the connection doesn't drop after 3 seconds.... Mail and internet all work no problem, Skype connects and signs in (haven't tried calls yet). I'll post back if I hit problems again, but I'm pretty hopeful so far (and determined to try the easy things first next time lol).

Wierd WiFi problem, only one request possible

Hello, since some time now I'm experiencing a wierd wifi connection behavior:
When I connect over wifi to my accesspoint everything goes well. It connects right away.
Also when I open IE and go to any site. It does download and display the site normally. But that is where the problem begins. It does this only for the first request. After that, there is no communication over wifi possible anymore. I cannot click on a link or change to any other website anymore. I cannot download mail, even cannot Ping (with vxUtil).
Other scenario:
I connect, download my email, after it gets done downloading, again.. it does not work anymore, neighter IE, nor download email again.. it always keeps trying to connect but aborts after a minute or so.
To make it work again, I always have to disconnect, and connect again, it then works for another request. Then again disconnect- connect... and so on.
Kinda enoying!!
Another scenario:
vxUtil, make a ping and keep on pinging. Works fine until I interrupt the ping. When I then try to ping again, it only gets timeouts again.
The Wifi connection is well during all of this, no drops no anything. The reception is excellent... it doesn't matter if I'm right next to the AP or a little farther away.
I remember that I didn't have this problem with my original Qtek ROM, after I changed to the Dopod ROM, this appeared somehow. Now I just flashed that MobiWiz custom rom with AKU 2.3, hoping it would solve the problem. ... well, it didn't.
In my wireless Lan I use WEP encription with a 26char HEX key; auth: open (not shared key). Setup is with DHCP and static IP the same... tried both, no difference. I have two Linksys APs with the newest firmware on them. Doesn't work with neighter of them.
Well, I searched a long time for a solution, but didn't really know what to look for, there is many things that come up when I search for "wifi" or "connection" and "problem", so I'm sorry if already someone wrote about this, please just post me the toppic...
Thank you guys very much, hope someone can help me!
My ROM info:
ROM version: 2.15.13.27 WWE
ROM date: 3/9/06
Radio version: 02.30.21
Protocol version: 4.1.13.16
ExtRom version: 2.15 AKU2.3 PDAMobiz Edition

Try to play with the power mode of WiFi. It could help.

Found the Problem
OK, I guess I found the reason for the problem.
As I wrote, I have 2 Access Points, one acting as a Repeater. Well... I guess the Prophet didn't like his Packets to be repeated, might have gotten them twice (from the first and then from the second AP). Anyways, so as soon as I switched off the repeating one, it worked again.
Still... kinda wierd, because my Laptop doesn't have a problem with it.

having just had to set up my new network at home i was reading up on using a second unit as a repeater. It mentiond that you have to tell one of the access points (think it was the main unit) how many hops you have in the system. This is to prevent 'system loops' or something. Sorry im not massive on this sort of thing but sounds like your problem.
Mine is i set the system up, main puter, 3 laptops, xda mini s and xda2i. all worked, added mac filtering all fine, added WPA PSK with TKIP security. Main puter and 3 laptops work fine. Both the XDA's sit there saying network available or connecting. but they never connect.

Wifi cannot be detected

Hi all!
I have an HTC Prophet, which it appears that it cannot detect any Wifi networks at all. I know that it could do so in the past (autodetect etc). After a point of time this was not working but I though that it was simply some mess up with the configuration.
After, however, having gone through a ROM upgrade and still not seeing any Wifi The little icon appears, it seems to search but nothing is found. I wonder what could be wrong? Since the Prophet has taken a few drops I was wondering whether the wifi card (SDIO) or the antenna - if any - has some kind of problem. Is there anyway to check this (e.g. device manager, open-up the prophet etc)?
What else could the source of the problem be?
Thank you very much in advance!

Same problem here... and it has definitly not dropped.....

Same problem here... would be nice to find any solution...

Same problem here with a Prophet G4 with:
IPL: 2.21.0001
SPL: 2.21.0001
Radio ROM: 02.69.21
OS ROM: WM6 PDAVIET 1.1 8mb pool (10.2.0.8)
Tried with different roms, radio roms, etc... So many hard resets after all. No solution. Wifis aren't detected.
Actually with PDAVIET 4.0.0.4 (8mb pool). Nothing changes. Wifi not detecting anything. Sometimes i got "bluetooth hardware error" message...

Make sure the security of your router is set of. Connect your ppc with your router. If you go to your ppc wifi setting you will noticed your Mac Adress. Enter you mac Adress to your router security list. Enable your router security.

Thanks but that's not the problem. My HP6815 detects wireless networks everywhere. (also at home and at work). Both works without mac filtering or such other security measures.
This is so rare and I am going to create a new Thread because It can be impossible that i'm the only person with this problem in the world.

My XDA never have been droped. No hits, nothing. it has only 1 month of life. And doesn't work. So forgot a HW a problem (at least, created by YOU. Another question is a random hw failure)

Also, i'm wondering WHY i have "Wi-Fi" and "Wireless LAN" icons on Settings/Connections, if both shows similar information (in different ordered tabs).
I've tried 5 different GSM rom versions. (from 2.07 to last 2.69) from 2.47/61 (i'm not sure) i 've that two icons. In early versions, only "Wireless LAN".
Has anybody this TWO icons??
Do i have to do something special to make the wifi work?
Why my prophet can enable Bluetooth and wifi at the same time?
For example, after a soft reset, i can enable Wifi. (but doesnt detect nothing, of course). In that point, i CANT enable bluetooth in CommManager. I tap on the icon, but it reverts to disabled.
i'm frustrated

wifi not working
I have the same problem. Yes I too have the same icons, and I have also tried different roms. I have also tried wififofum, but that didn't work either. If anyone have a solution, please be kind and tell us.

some programs does not connect to internet

Hello, can you help me with following issue ? I have some kind of internet connection issue. Im still connect to 3G network. Internet is working great in Opera, IE, weather update.
But I cannot connect via my programs in start menu, for example Omarket, Marketplace, resco contact manager, even My Phone. I still get the message check your internet connection. Any idea ? Thank you very much.
Connection cannot be established with 3G nor WIFI.

Same problem. No solution so fare?

It would be nice if you gave some info:
ROM,
RADIO,
any installed programs,
any tweaking done,
has this problem always been there or is it just recent.

Here some date from my device. But I'm afraid it's not very helpful.
We need an approach to localize the problem.
The only solution I found so far is an hardreset. It's not a fine solution because all my applications need to be reinstalled. Moreover if I don't know the reason for the problem it can happens again.

The problem occured some months ago.

The problem might be with B&B Tweaks.
There is a button for disabling the data connections. Aparently it is still possible to connect to internet with opera, IE and weather. So if you change that setting to enable data connection, this might solve your problem.

Thanks fred_up. "data connection" was enabled, but I disabled this setting and enabled it again. Than I changed and re-changed the "Wifi N" and the "Wifi Standby" setting. No success so far.
PS: May be I should check some settings with sktools...
