Hi!
I have a huge problem, with my tytn HTC
I have a wireles network at home. It is built like this:
Cable modem --> (not wireless)Router--> computer (conected to the router via UTP cable, that means with ordinary network adapter card).
In this computer, i have WIRELESS USB card, configured as Access point (AP), so the wireless networks works just fine. With my laptop i can connect to internet through this card with no problem at all...
But, when i try to connect to internet with my TyTN, it just won't work... it finds wireless network, it sais it is available, but when i try to connect, nothing happens. it sais "connecting" and than- nothing happens... after several tries, it sais that my wireless network is unavailable... when i reset my Tynt, it sais it is available again, but the same story again...after several attempts to connect to wireless network, it sais unavailable and that's it...
What is wrong? i tried everything, im quite desspered here...
Well, tnx in advance for any suggestions and advices...
I appologise for my bad english, too...
TNX!
Do you have any restrictions in your Acess point configuration? If yo have, just remove it or reconfigure for acess with your TyTN. Try to remove WEP or MAC filtering or firewall...
Resolving your wireless problems ...
There's actually several things you need to check.
First, on the Router side, insure that you are not restricting your wireless access. For instance, is your Router set to G Only or is it b/g?
Next, on your router side, make sure your router is not hidden. If so, then you'll need to manually add the router via Configure Wireless Networks on your TyTN. At the top is "Add New...". Choose this and insert your settings for your wireless router.
On the TyTN (HTC Hermes) side of things, you need to see if you are set to be B only or if you've upgraded (I think most ROMs on this site have this fix installed) and your device is seen as a G device and therefore can connect to G only devices.
These should hopefully resolve your issues.
i removed restrictions and firewall and still nothing...
Next thing, my wireless Access Point is set to 54g Auto.
On my Tynt i have installed Windows mobile 6 profesional, CE OS 5.2.1437 (build 17944.0.3.1)
I don't know exactly where should i look if my HTC is wireless is B or G...
I tried to change settings on my AP from 54g Auto to 802.11B and to to 802.11G and vice versa, but still nothing...
As i wrote before, i don't have wireless router i just have an ordinary router and then wireless USB card in one of the computers, so i can connect with my laptop to internet over this card. With laptop it works excelent.
So, can anyone suggest what kind of OS should i install on my HTC in order to fix this, and where can i get one?
TNX for so far, and TNX in advance for any further information or suggestion!
Still having problems...i tried everything...
i tried to connect to wireless network at friend's wireless router...TyNT found a signal, everything was just fine, then asked me for key (friend has WEP protection), i typed the password, and then i couldn't connect again...
I havo no clue whatsoever anymore...
Anyone with same problem?? Any suggestions?
Tnx in advance for any advice...
hmm...
I guess it is a hardware problem with my tynt's WI-FI...i can't think of anything else... i tried everything, still can not connect...
Im getting quite desspered with this HTC... i guess i'll sell it and buy NOKIA N95 or something like that...
well, if someone by any chance know where the problem is, i thanks in advance for every advice or suggestion
TNX

I have nothing to contribute as we have similar problems. I have learned from other users that development team from Htc is preparing a patch which will be released in two months time. Let's wait for it then.
wifi
same problem here ...
I have tried to flash older radio didn't help ...
I have tried disable wep on my router ... didn't help
I'm just in a loop of AVAILABLE-->CONNECTING-->AVAILABLE etc.
please if someone finds a solution (patch) for this problem post it to this thread.
still there?

Hi!
I'm just wondering are there any solutions been found?
Or it's definitely hardware problem?
WBR!
problem
so Ive found my problem ....
Ive upgraded firmware in my router to newest version and problem appeared.
When I've removed encryption wpa2 and set my router to no encryption my wifi worked again.
So I've bought different wifi router and I've no problems now.
So anyone who is having dead wifi in hermes try to deactivate wifi encryption and try a different router (friends house or public wifi hotspot)

Recently bought my wife one of these devices and just spent two whole days looking for a solution and that was it.. mixed mode - I had mine set to "G" only! Sometimes the solution is too simple for the geek to be able to spot I guess - maybe the wife would have found it faster!
Thanks for the solution.. as with all forums I always suggest a FAQ with these solutions or links to the threads/posts with these tips and resolutions.

Lucky... Mine did not connect anymore, flashed black majik over schaps3.6 and voilla! worked again... without touching the router.... Will try last schaps tonight.... I´m tired of flashing and reinstalling....
Sorry if this has been discussed somewhere already...
I have a strange Problem with my Wifi... its not working since the "Official" ROM-Upgrade... but only at home.
- It finds the Wireless-Network and tries to get the IP-Adresse... but fails
- All other Components in my network (other handhelds, Laptops) connect without problems
- It worked before the ROM upgrade
- It works without any Problems at other Wifi-Networks (at work, as an example)
Any Idea, someone?
Thanks in Advance,
Oliver
What brand router do you have?
I have the Sitecom WL 173 and also have no success with Wifi. I cannot connect.

Hi,
I have a rather old Siemens Router... (not sure about the exact Model) Strange thing is, it worked flawlessly before the ROM Upgrade, but never since. Looks like I might have to replace it. Was there some sort of "Wifi Protcoll" Change within the new ROM? And now my Router is to old?
Some router/device combinations are troublesome, particularly older routers. I appreciate that it worked before, so it does point more to a Hero'ism than your router. Have you tried changing channel on your router as this may help?
Regards,
Dave

Not yet... I'll have to try this.
My home one works fine, but I can't connect to anyone elses now, even free WI-Fi connections.
T-Mobile update done 2 weeks ago.

:-( changed channels... same issue. I can connect with anything else, but not with the Hero.
Looks like I have to replace my Wifi-Router at home...
Hey,
if your computer is almost always on, I'd recommend this amazing soft :
http://www.connectify.me/
It turns your computer into a wifi hotspot so you can use your mobile devices easily.
A few clicks to install and it's already working (and no problem on hero like with ad-hoc)
Ok, so I bought a new wireless router and my hero refuses to pick it up, Belkin N+. It saw my previous linksys wrt54g just fine. All of my computers and my iphone 3g see the new belkin fine also. I am running modaco 2.0, have tried all the other roms also with the same outcome. Anything I can do here? Return the router? smash my hero? jk

2 Things:
1. make sure you are broadcasting a B/G singal not just N.
2. Delete all of your existing "saved" wifi networks off the phone, anything you have previously connected to. then reboot. Seems like Redneck had an issue like this.
The router is set to allow b,g,n. I dont have any networks saved, I've flashed several different roms. As I said my iphone picks it up, so I'm gonna say it has to be a problem with the hero being the only thing in my house that won't see it.
Try changing the channel the router is broadcasting at. Maybe its too high for the Hero
channel 1, 20/40Mhz
well I switched the router to only broadcast in b/g and now the hero picks it up. The whole purpose for the new router was "n". so what gives? All my other "g" devices including computers and again my iphone work on "g" even when "n" is enabled. y not the hero?
I also haven't been able to get anything to install from the market since yesterday (the reason for trying to get on wifi anyway) Been flashing roms to try to get my standard apps to install and/or connect to wifi. Nothing. this thing is really asking for a flight into the woods.
Ok I gave up. turning off "n" on the belkin was the only thing that made the hero detect it. All other "g" devices work with "n" enabled. Ended up just setting up the old linksys as an access point for just the hero to use, what a waste.
do you have any N devices? if not then having it on won't help the speed of your network, only cause problems.
bmr34, i have the same router, and my hero doesnt see the wifi connection when the router is in B/G/N mode either. really irritating seeing as my notebook actually has N...
disabling N was the only solution for me, as i have no other router...
I know it's not much, but i have an airport express broadcasting BGN and my hero can see it..so maybe its your router?
What security protocol is being used on your router?
I have found that I cannot connect to a WPA-Personal and AES wifi. However, the newer WPA2 and AES is just fine. Also, TKIP works just fine.
i'm thinking that it might be the security settings, running mixed n,g mode fine here on belkin N+, ill check my settings and report back
Please do, as am having the same problem, Hero sees n+ in b+g mode only, not b+g+n.

Sorry to dig up an OLD thread, but just in case someone runs across this in a google search, as I did, then here's what you need to do:
Under wireless > security (in your belkin n+ setup page), set your authentication type to WPA2/PSK ONLY (not WPA/PSK + WPA2/PSK). For whatever reason, that's the issue that's freaking the Hero out.
If, for whatever reason, you still need to have the dual option for WPA/WPA2, I was going to use the guest access portion to dedicate to the Hero (as I really don't need to try to connect to the home network via mobile).
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.
hi, i have a linksys wrt110 router and my phone can never connect, it says unavailable. any ideas?

try another access point.
However, I have two of the same titans as you, and the same router.
one connects, the other does not.
I have asked many times on this site for help, but no response. the only difference is that the one that fails has updated roms.
it does not appear to be hardware, switch or other physical problems. I have tried several roms, and even flashing back to original. No go.
Wifi is all I can think about now, and if it was not for the service providers stupid data requirements, I would get a new smart phone.
I have a Mogul with Ryan Moguls Cricket lite 3.1/ radio 3.42.40 and I have the same basic problem. Only occasionally will my Wifi connect or detect my Access point (about 15 feet away). turning WLAN on/off doesnt seem to help. I have used other 6800's in the same environment with wifi working perfectly, so maybe it's a hardware problem. (although I have two 6800's right now with similar symptoms).
Any suggestions on how to check wifi antenna?
