Hi guys. i finally turned off the gprs and now i'm in wifi heaven. at work i can use their unsecured wifi, but when i come back home, it doesnt seem to connect to my WEP one. Does anyone here also experience the same problem? Or does anyone know how to connect to a WEP wifi? Thanks in advance
i think that most wizards have a problem with wpa but not wep. if you have a router with both wep AND wpa, try turning the wpa off. that was all i had to do to get mine to work

Mine works fine with WPA-TKIP . Just make sure you've done the regedit to enable G mode (thats what catches a lot of people). I think some of the custom roms also add more capability with 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!

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'm having an issue with my work wifi...I can't see it...I thought that it was because I was using a leaked ROm but I odined back to stock, updated to JI6 using KIES mini and still can't see it...other user here has a Droix X and he can see it and another has a NOOK Color and can see it...
The network it's secure WAP2 AES...any ideas?
bump
10 char
i think you mean wpa2 aes. I was having a similar problem, except my phone could see the access point but couldnt connect. If you have access to the router try changing the wireless channel as there may be interference. Can you still connect to other access points?
Is your work running 2.4ghz or a 5ghz router?
I have wpa2 aes at the crib and I'm able to connect just fine with JL5
Hey all, i've had my iconia tab for a few weeks now, and all is well except for one wifi issue. I can connect flawlessly to our wpa secured hotspot, but I've had no luck connecting to our actual router which is wep secured...any ideas?
Thanks, Chad
Hi guys,
I have problem with the wifi, some routers wifi the speed of the internet gets very slow. The problem happens with routers from the company 'Net Virtua' and 'Vivo' in Brazil. In other companies the speed is normal. Has anyone had this problem and been able to solve it?
Android 9
Patch June / 2019
There is currently two bugs that i know.
1. If you have Bluetooth AND Location activated, the wifi is slow. Disabling at least one of the two partially solves the problem.
2. Wpa2 psk aes is broken. Switching to wpa2 psk tkip solve the problem, but this is not secure.
