Has anyone on Verizon with a xv6800 gotten WMWifiRouter to work? I have tried and tried and still have no luck. I installed ICS like others have said and this has still not made it work. If anyone has a xv6800 and has WMWifiRouter working, please help me out with some directions. Thank you in advanced for your help.
Mod Edit: Moved from Titan Upgrading
I use it every day
So far you said that you installed ICS so that should be ok. Make sure you turn on your wifi before wifirouter, and you know it is right when the 3 simi circles stop flashing and stay lit and the message is 'connected to wifirouter ready'. If it is like that then it is working and the problem is that maybe the wifi on the other end needs to be told to look for ad-hoc connection, some will not see one by default. Ad-hoc is the mode it uses.
It says it is conected but also says it is searching for ICS and WLAN and it never connects.
make sure your WiFi switch is on
yep

That is what happens when the wifi is not working because it must bind with it. Go into your commanager and see what your wifi looks like and that the ad-hoc connection 'wifiminirouter' is there.
i was having the same problem. I uninstalled it, turned on the wifi switch then reinstalled it. I originally installed with the WiFi switch off and that apparently was the problem.
I got it. Thanks for your help everyone.
Okay, I have to ask since I haven't figured the program out. What does this program do? It allows a computer to connect to my phone via WiFi, while my phone is connected to the data network, thus giving my computer internet? I don't know.
Thats it exactly

You get a cookie ;-) and not only that but it doles out many ip addresses so anyone in range of your phone can share it's EVDO.
Sweet! I like cookies! This phone really is a magic phone.
I have to admit I was wondering if this was going to work.
I live in a 1x world up here in NW Arizona. Yesterday was a road trip to Vegas, Wife had the laptop and she surfed the net through the connection and then when we got to Vegas we hit EVDO and life was very good.
I think I am going to have to get a Amp with a good external antenna for better reception though.
But this brings up another possible situation as posted above others may intercept the wifi. But cruising down the road that should be a very remote hazard.
The only problem developed last night on the way home . It was searching for ICS like the switch was off. I verifed it was correct. Looked at settings and the wifi icon was missing in action. Soft reboot brought it back and life was good again.
Conflict with Exchange
I installed the program on my Verizon 6800. My phone puts out a signal, my computer recognizes it, gets an ip address and connects, but when I open internet explorer I get the "page cannot be displayed" error.
I do have my phone receiving push email from exchange server. I went into communications manager and turned that off, but still can't connect.
The wmwifirouter site mentions this problem, but I was wondering if anyone has had any success connecting?
Thanks!
do you have your wifi switched turned on BEFORE you open wmwifirouter? your computer will still connect even if the actual connection to the internet is not there. disconnect your computer from the network. close wmwifirouter (or just soft reset for good measure). turn on your wifi switch, then start wmwifirouter, then connect. if you're on a laptop, just shut off your wireless until wmwifirouter is connected.
Thanks for the quick response.
I followed your directions:
1. Soft Reset,
2. Turn on WiFi on phone,
3. Open wmwifirouter program,
4. Turned on wireless connection on computer.
Again, everything connects, but get the same IE error. When I select the wireless network in my office, my computer connects instantly.
In the wireless LAN settings on my phone, the configuration shows:
SSID: WMWifiRouter
Mode: Ad hoc
BSSID: 02-18-41-33-01-09
Tx Rate: Auto
Channel: 11
Signal Quality: Almost a full bar
This program would be absolutely awesome if I could get it to work!

Do you haveto run a custom ROM to use WMWiFiRouter or can you use Verizon's MR1?

I have WIFIRouter and love it. The only problem I have is after using it on my laptop, I have to delete the connection. If I do not the computers (Dell) wifi will only search for my phone, and will not connect to the router in my house until its gone.
I know this is not a phone issue, but a computer one, buut thought someone here might know.
Thanks
Reinstall with WiFi on - Reboot require
I was also able to get my xv6800 to work (using an iTouch) using the above suggestions. I uninstalled ICS and WMWiFi, reset the xv,and reinstalled ICS and then WMWifi "with the WiFi switch" on - thanks for the help!
I noticed that when I reinstalled ICS with the WiFi switch on, it said the changes would take effect after I restarted the xv, which it didn't do when I installed it with the WiFi switch off..
I also had to turn on the WEP encryption rather than "None" to get it to work, although that might have been fixed if I'd just reset the iTouch.

Hi everyone.
First off, I know there are a million and one other threads.. believe me.. I have searched!
Basically my phone won't connect to my network. It was working fine earlier today. I've tried changing all the security settings in my router (turning off encryption for example). I've tried soft resetting and hard resetting the phone.
Nothing seems to be working. It finds the network fine, but it just says 'Connecting' then goes to 'Available' but it won't use the wifi connection.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
Have you tried connecting your device using a friends wifi router to see if this connect you
Nope. I forgot to add that I will try connecting to work's WiFi tomorrow!
Anything to try in the mean time?
Try these:
1) disable frame bursting
2) disable big packets and other methods of wifi speeding
3) force 11b
4) use WPA-PSK TKIP only
5) check if you have MAC or other access filtering
than let us know

1) Can't see any settings under my router.
2) Tried disabling gnitro (Belkin router), no difference.
3) No difference
4) Already on that.
5) Turned off.
It's so odd. Works fine with an N95.
I don't think it's anything to do with my router because like I said it worked fine earlier on in the day then suddenly stopped. The router settings hadn't changed.
Edit: I've tried turning the router security off altogether also. I really don't feel it's an issue with my router.
Tested the phone at work. It works fine.. so I don't have a clue why it's not working at home? Surely the router can't be incompatible with the phone.. especially considering it worked at one point.
Very weird! I got fed up with my router so decided to restore the factory defaults and start from scratch.. worked straight away! So I restored the settings back to exactly how they were before (using a backup file I made).. and it worked!
Just posting incase it happens to anyone else anyway.

Maybe uve tried this already but could be the fact that your home internet access point is listed as Work rather than internet, used to have an issue with mine cause of that.
I also have this problem.
Reset did not help.
Listed as internet or work did not help in both cases.
Real weird!!
I've got the same problem, all of a sudden my hd won't connect to my router.
I can connect to open networks (wi-fi hotspots etc) so i know the wifi in the phone is working ok and my partners diamond can connect ok to my router, so the router is obviously ok.
Have reset the router as well and haven't changed any settings on the phone.
Don't understand!!!!
as other users point out within other threads, it seems that Blackstone has a problem connecting to wifi networks when WPA Authentification is enabled
try to disable it. it worked for me and soem other guys
good luck!
I could connect to my router fine using my laptop.. but I still had to reset my router to the factory settings before it worked again on my Touch HD.. then I could enable WPA and everything back again. So try that!
i thought i had a similiar problem, mine wouldnt connect to wifi, kept switching itself off. figured this is normal when its connected to usb. unplug usb and it turns back on!
I own an HTC Touch HD since January and have a similar problem, only it surfaced last week. Before I had only used the WiFi connectivity briefly. The problems started after I installed an AP on my house expressively for the new PDA. The node is fully open and set to B/G/N protocols.
After a couple days of medium (couple hours per day) use the WiFi connection suddenly quit, the device would try to connect (the top bar showing the WiFi connection animation continuously) and after a few moments gave up with a dialog box stating the current network settings were wrong (even thou they worked fine a few hours earlier).
I tried several hot and cold resets, but only solved the problem after flashing a new ROM; even then the same symptoms reappeared after a couple of days of regular use. Again no re-setting would cure the problem, and now not even flashing the ROM again would work. Nonetheless, some hours latter the WiFi would connect perfectly with the same nodes it refused to before, and in very short time.
I have witnessed this cycle twice and have yet not been able to find a trigger for it, but will keep my eyes open for any tell tale signs, and post any findings here.
Hi
I used to have problem using any secure wireless connection. Then I realized that you need a personal certificate to use secure wireless networks. It uses certificate to encrypt connection between access point. I have access to a windows certificate server so I created a personal certificate with private key and import it to my mobile. Now I can login to any secure wireless network.

That solution doesn't seem to work for this problem.
Resetting the router does seem to work.
I don't get why resetting the router works.... other devices can still connect no problems before resetting, so it only seems to be aproblem with the hd.
It also sux when you are using a public router with this problem that you can't reset.
Connecting to Belkin router
Guys, I had the same problem as well. HTC touch HD used to connect to the router fine but after installing an update/upgrade it would pick the signal from the router but would not connect. (I was using WEP authentication at this time)
SOLUTION:
Go to belkin router configuration on the web.
Under security change the Securtiy Mode to WPA/WPA2-Personal(PSK)
Change authentication to WPA-PSK
Select Encryption to TKIP and enter your password.
GO to your HTC touch HD's WiFi setting and turn Wifi ON. Select your home network SSID and edit it using the information you used on the router i.e. WPA-PSK ; TKIP, enter your key/password and click next, next and finish.
Worked for me....hope it helps.
WIFI not connecting
That truly is extremly nasty.
I have the same issue - wifi found, correct password (WEP, WPA all settings) but no successful connection.
Took an old HTC 3xxx - runs immediately.
I can not reset the router - there are too many users, they will kill me then.
So I installed an Access point (Sparklan WX 7800A) to play with.
Notebooks (HP, MSI and ASUS) have successful internet access, also the old HTC 3xxx.
But still the HTC HD does not connect.
Tried "WIFI Monster" - shows the wifi, but does not connect.
(But it deletes all wifi entries easily - so you can set them up new)
Tried with NO security/password: same issue.
WEP, WPA (all kinds): no connection
There must be something to be changed in the registry - but I have no idea what & where.
Or is the wifi that useless ?????
Maybe someone can help
Ciao

I had the same problem. But the problem stopped when i connect my htc HD to my laptop and used activesync to connect to internet. After i disconnected it, open wifi and... works ok!!
I just loaded phiremod 6.3 onto my Nook Color. When I attempt to add my google acount, I get "Can't establish a reliable data connection to the server." When I click on the market app, I get "Could not launch the requested activity." When I open the internet browser, I get "Web page not available."
I have a strong wi-fi signal that my computer, cell phone, and another Nook Color are able to use without problems. The tablet says that I am connected, the signal is strong, and I'm not in airplane mode. I can't seem to find any posts that address the problem of not being able to add a google account AND not being able to browse the web with a solid wi-fi connection.
This is my first post so let me know if I put this in the right category and if I need to add any additional information.
Thanks in advance.
I thought this might be a problem with the newly released phiremod 6.3 because my device was working just fine on 6.2. However, I just flashed back to 6.2 and experienced the same problems. I can't make sense of this especially since the device is successfully connecting to the wi-fi.
Have you verified that if you reboot a PC on the same wireless network it works properly? Could your router have run out of available IP addresses? Possibly not handing out DHCP properly? Maybe your DNS servers you have listed in the Router were down temporarily and your computer was using cached information previously. Several scenarios that could be valid here. I'd like to find out first if a PC on the same wireless, connected wirelessly, is working.
Also do you have MAC address filtering on the network? So you're connecting w/ no issues but not able to surf because it's blocked.
If you go to the admin GUI of the router do you see the NC in the DHCP client table after you are successfully connected to the WiFi network?
Good Luck, I'll try to think of any other things.

Thanks for your reply Deltabear.
I share a wireless connection with my apartment landlord so I don't have access to the actual router. However, I can tell you that his computer is the only other one that uses it, and only for a few hours during the day. I rebooted my pc, and it's having no problems with the wireless connection. I rebooted my other Nook Color, and it too has no problem with the wireless connection.
I just remembered that when I loaded phiremod 6.2 it connected to the wi-fi. Then I experienced a boot loop when I tried to flash 6.3. I still have no idea what went wrong when I flashed 6.3, but everything went downhill from there. I ended up trying to revert back to stock, but instead of a bootloop at "Touch the future of reading" I got stuck in a bootloop at the N. I performed the 8x method and received an OTA update, but remained in the bootloop. At this point I decided to just go back to trying to flash phiremod 6.3, and this time it worked...except for the wacky wi-fi problem.
When you go into settings>Wi-Fi settings Is the router listed with connected underneath it? Or does it keep saying 'connecting'?
If it says connected press the router name and it should bring up a box in the middle of the screen with
Status
Security
Signal Strength
Link speed
IP address
What does it say under each?
Well the problem seems to be resolved but I don't know how or why. I turned the Nook's wi-fi off, and when I turned it back on I was able to add my google account, browse the web, and open the market. I know turned the wi-fi off and on several times yesterday so I am still perplexed as to why it seems to be working now.
To answer your question DreamingWolf, the router always said it was connected. I don't remember what the info was for it when I was having the problem, but I know I looked at it a few times and nothing seemed unusual there...I am however a noob.
I don't know if it's only since my update to 3.1, but the Wifi Disconnect Policy doesn't seem to work.
I set it to Disconnect on Screen Off - but the pad is still tinkling away receiving email -- and still pingable across the WLAN.
Is anyone else finding this?

Yes I'm pretty sure I see the same. It is hard to be 100% sure as the battery use data seems broken, but I've seen wireless activity almost constantly from the asus to my router when the screen is off.
I also have issues at time with connecting to a network, it loops trying to get an IP address, turning the wifi off then on solves that problem, but it is a pain to have to do that....
I use JuiceDefender to disable WiFi when screen is off. I had already bought it for my phone where I want my data to be off at night while I'm asleep, so it didn't cost me anything to use it on my Tablet also. There is a free version you can try with few settings/controls. The paid versions add additional settings/customizations.
Wi-Fi will disconnect from AP after screen off 15 mins when Wi-Fi disconnect policy is set to "When screen turns off".
It's Android behavior.
Aha! Having done more tests (and being more patient ) It does indeed turn off after 15mins..
Cool.
(Would have been better if the setting description wasn't misleading...)
Hi,
yes after further testing it does indeed seem to turn off eventually. However once it is off it seems to have problems re-connecting when you turn the device back on again. I typically have to disable/enable WiFi to get it to work. Anyone else seeing this?

Yup - on occasion. About 10% of the time. Seems to be when I move between two different SSIDs (i.e. when I get to the office, or when I return home)
Would be happy to investigate, if someone could point me at any log/debug info that's accessible...?

I get that too
I now have a widget to turn off wifi. I turn it off when the screen goes off so that it actually turns wifi off (doesn't seem to disconnect for me either), and to turn it back on when I start using it again because it never reconnects properly :S
I have the same problem too. It keeps saying trying to get an IP address. Even I have DHCP running on the router, I changed the setting of home wifi on TF to be static IP address. Now, it connects all the time when waking up from sleep.
Hope that helps (at least when you are home).

same here. its been happening since I got my TF (launch date) Where on the TF do I set static IP address on the TF?
Go to Wifi setup screen. Press and hold on the wifi network you want to change. Then select "Modify Network".

So what I'm finding is that if my tab sits on the charger for a long time without using it, when I go to use it the wifi icon is gone. When I go into wifi settings, it says my network is not in range. To fix it, I have to toggle wifi off and then back on, and then it gets on my network just fine.
Anyone else have this problem?
Have you tried changing the wifi sleep setting? Worked for me, I believe it is under settings-asus customizedsettings- wifi sleep settings

I had this issue with my TF101 after not having the issue for 2.5/3rds of the time I owned the TF101. Initially I thought it was the TF101 but I narrowed it down to the router.
A) I had implemented a policy on my router to restrict the number of IP addresses it can "assign" to connections. In this case it was set to then and there were more than ten devices connected to the router making it impossible to assign an IP address to the TF101.
B) It could have just been something with the router I wasn't aware of as resetting the router always fixed the issue. Though this could be explained by saying resetting the router resets all of the connections and opens up a spot for the TF.
In Android phones you can use the secret codes
If you have the phone apk installed perphas you can use this:
WLAN Test:
*#*#232339#*#*
*#*#526#*#*

I have noticed that when my 300 is sleeping for a while, my email will not push/ sync. When I wake my tab up, Ive noticed the wifi icon is gone, but will come back in a second or two. Ive never had to toggle the wifi however.
And yes, Ive made sure the Battery Saving setting is unchecked to not suspend network connection while sleeping.
