Problems with wifi configuration

Hi,
I have a wifi conection at home. I will try to explain this as clear as possible:
1) I turn on the Wizard. (OFF -> ON) Not from Sleep mode.
2) Configure the wifi conection: "SDIO WLAN Wireless Adapter". I put the parameters MANUALLY: IP, DNS, PROXY ...
3) I turn ON the wifi thru the comm manager. 10 secs later it has connected my home wifi.
4) I open IE and no problem. I can surf ok the web!!!
Then I go to a friend's house. He also has wifi conexion , so I manage to connect an check the mail.
So, he doesn't have the same settings as I do at home. I do this:
1) Configure the wifi conection: "SDIO WLAN Wireless Adapter". I put the parameters to DHCP or MANUALLY again but with another IP (my friends wifi settings)
2) When I click OK a message prompts saying something like "This changes will have effect the next time you plug out and in the device" ... but I can't plug out the SDIO WLAN Wireless Adapter ...
3) No matters. I try. I go again to the comm manager and turn on the wifi.
4) I can see my friends network, so I connect to it. It has established the connection without problems.
5) I open IE and ... it doesn't show me google!!! I try again ... nothing.
So ... I can't plug in and out the Wireless Adapter, what can I do? Let's try to turn off the wizard and turn it on again ...
I turn it off (not sleep mode) and the on again.
I DON'T touch the configuration and go directly to the comm manager and turn on the wifi. I wait a few seconds and now I go to the IE and check if I can connect to google ... and I CAN!!!
What the hell is going on?? Is there any other way to change the settings and don't have to turn off and on the wizard to take effect...???
Thanks for the help!!

Internet options?

i saw it some where ... , you can change from 80kb gprs internet to 1mb wifi internet ...
but i forgot where i saw it , i researched it without success , where i can to find this option?

GPRS is CELLPHONE internet. It uses the cellphone service from your carrier to gain internet access (your cellphone service company will charge you for that. Dont ask me how much)
WiFi is wireless LAN. You know how laptops can connect to the internet wirelessly? That's using WiFi, which comes from a nearby wireless router (usually no further than 100 meters awy)
You need to have a wireless router at home, such as Linksys WRT54G or D-Link DI-524 or whatever else. Those things connect to a wired internet connection like a Cable Modem or a DSL modem. You cant just access WiFi from your cellphone anywhere. You need to be close to a wireless router, and be ALLOWED access to it (because they are very often password protected).
Only the GPRS is accessible from anywhere with cellphone signal.
Note : You probably will be able to get EDGE, which is the same as GPRS, but faster (in between 150-220kbps)

no bro ... , its not gprs options ... ,
I did changed it one time ago ... , now i forgot where it is.
Change from 80kb to wifi\lan ... , there some option like that ...
Its just give you surf faster in wifi mode.

no "bro"
you cant magically switch from GPRS to WiFi unless you got a WiFi network near you.

On the Comm Manager, you can turn gprs off and turn wifi on...not sure if that's what your asking.

You didn't got me ,
I can to surf on wifi networks , but by default just on 80kb , so i saw some option you can change it to 1mb from 80kb surfing .
so you can surf the internet on pocket very very more faster then its on 80kb,now i did hard reset and this setting gone away...
I need to find him again...

i used to be able to get on the internet on my dash(smartphone) by connecting it to my router i have here at my house. i would turn on wifi and it would show the available networks then i would chose my home one. but now on my wing it doesnt give me an option where can see available networks.

WiFi problem :(

Hey, i have a problem with wifi ... its already showing that its connected to wifi router.. but the internet not working i had this problem from weeks ! .. till now cant find the way to fix it ! ... what do u think ? is there any apps can let the wifi work perfectly with internet ? .. or is there anyway to get back the internet ? .. i dunno its just showing that already connected to my wirless but no net ...
msTx.

This problem can not be answered with the information you gave us, for the problem might well be the network you attempt to connect to. If for some reason your router only allows local access, you will be able to connect, without being able to reach the internet.
First try disabling all security on your router (including mac-filter!) and attempt a connection. If it doesn't fly from there, give us some more info. (What kind of router, phone firmware etc.)

well, i will check my router settings and check the security... and i will give u the answer l8r ... anyway thx

i checked everything .. and my laptop works perfect with wifi 100% ! , but my xperia still doesnt work and also i restarted my router .. so here's the information about my router ..
It's Linksys router .
Network Mode: Mixed

I dont want to Disable Security mode .. coz everyone will join my wireless and make more pressure and slow my net.

Check them if anything wroung .. and thx

From the looks of it, your settings aren't "flawed" (to any extent you can speak of flawed anyway).
I meant disabling the security as a temporary test. If disabling allows you to connect, the problem lies there.
Also something that might help is changing the channel you're on.
If that doesn't help, update your router's firmware.
Finally, try connecting to another network with your X1, if that does work, the problem lies in compatibility (most often resolved with firmware updates for your router).

mstx while you are at it also test the following:
1. are the proxy settings on the phone correct? normally they should be empty
2. can you connect fine with the phone from activesync from the laptop
3. are your ip settings correct? some networks requires them to be static (you manually set the correct ip, subnet,gateway) instead of dynamic (from the dhcp server)?
4. when you connect to the wifi network it should ask you to select internet or work. select internet.

Heeey , i fixed it !.. now its work perfect !! ... well, the problem was in the xperia my wifi connection setting, the wifi setting was "connect to WORK" .. so I changed it "connect to THE INTERNET" .. and it works ...
anyway thanks guys !!

i think the problem come from here
Pre-Shared Key: ******* (wireless password)
try using a wep key instead
i think that wireless passxord doesn't work well on windows mobile

Wifi/GPRS??

I hav GPRS enable on my phone and at my home i have a WiFi
So when i connect to the internet from my phone when i am at home it always connects using GPRS but i want to connect it through Wifi when i am at home...Is there any optio through which i can select as to how i want to connect to the internet i.e. either by GPRS or Wifi??
Plz help

disconnect your gprs connection just clikc on the Edge Icon on the top bar and then and disconnect the t-mobile data connection and then manually connect to wifi spot and it shouldnt connect through ur gprs until u want it to

If you have WiFi turned on, it'll automatically try to find a network it can connect you and notify you of the best connection. If it doesn't WiFi may not be on, you can check in the Comm Manager to make sure its on. If it is on, you can click the WiFi icon on the top bar and select your network.
The phone will automatically use Wifi instead of GPRS if WiFi is connected. If it tries to connect through GPRS it is either because WiFi is disabled or WiFi isn't connected to a network.
