Today I dug out my trusty old XDA Exec, gave it a re-charge and was totally surprised when it started up fine and started my trip down memory lane!
One obstacle I soon stumbled over was connecting to a modern WiFi access point that uses WPA/WPA2 with TKIP or AES encryption.
I have now spent some 6 hours searching the forums on here for an answer to my question but as yet, I haven't found one and wondered if some kind more XDA experienced person could come up with a quick answer?
My question is really quite simple and straightforward. Bearing in mind that my XDA Exec (Universal) is running the last ROM update that was produced by O2 (Xda_Exec_Upgrade_v1.30.162), is there any sort of driver patch for the WiFi on my XDA that can be applied which will bring the WiFi up to date (so to speak) and allow it to connect to a router using WPA2 and AES encryption or does it require a complete change of ROM to something else?
If the answer to that latter part is "change the ROM", which ROM could I go for that would fully work for my device?
All and any answers much appreciated.

Hi Colin,
Am experiencing similar wifi issues with Tomal's build with windows 6.1 professional
would be great to find a cleaned up 2016 build for windows mobile 6.1 professional with WPA etc
TIA

Hi All,
Would appreciate any advice on this matter. Searched for similar issues on this and other forums with no success so far.
Device is in Corporate mode (simple with no O2 extras). Able to connect to most wireless networks OK including WPA protected, but having trouble with the Cisco based LEAP network at a client's office.
Windows Mobile 5.0 on this device doesn't seem to support LEAP natively. I have tinkered with some of the suggestions around, including using WPA-PSK but nothing seems to work.
Is there something I am missing when it comes to LEAP configuration? Do I need to specify the authentication server?
Are there any tools to make this process any easier? I have seen some excellent thinks around like Funk Software's Odyssey, but not sure that they work on Windows Mobile 5.

And the answer:
Hello Scott,
Thank you for your email,
I am sorry for this but it appears it is not present on the XDA Mini S. I was checking this information using a test XDA Exec which displays this functionality as soon as you select Wireless LAN through start then settings then Connections and had assumed because both devices are running windows 5 that both would be similar. However it is not present on the XDA Mini S.
Sorry again for the earlier information.
Regards

Hi,
is there any solution for getting LEAP working on Wizard. It seems that I-mate AKU 2 ROM has software for it since I can start LEAP program and add new entries, but it's not working - I can't connect to my corporate WLAN.
Is there any solution for this problem. Will this be at least in some new ROM, etc?
I'm in the same boat.
I've done countless searches and hours of investigation. Some have reported success, but I have contacted them and done exactly as they did and still no joy.
My network administrator claims that we are not using any restrictive protocols and/or options on our network and is also puzzled as to why it will not connect. It does attempt to connect to the AP, but authorization fails everytime.
I have official given up. If anyone can provide insight I believe that many would be indebited.
Perhaps you and the admin should take a look at the logs and figure out where it's stopping exactly? I haven't had the need to use LEAP yet so I can't really comment but a little sniffing around will probably tell you what's going on.
My main question is: Is LEAP working at all on Wizard? My previous device was iPAQ 4150 and it was working perfect using LEAP in my corporate WLAN - so I don't think that the problem is in some restrictions.
With the new AKU2 ROM came an add on for LEAP - the software is there, but is Wizard actually using entries that I enter there? It seems that it doesn't.
Well I have some encouraging news for you ...
My last PDA was also the 4150, and I could not get that working on our corporate WLAN either ... therefore ... you may have better luck than I.
Best of luck ... if you get it working, could PM me please.
Thanks, Greg
it's amazing why enterprises are still using the LEAP when its proprietary to cisco when many non proprietary types of EAP are easily available and better support..
PEAP for one is totallly free, offers similar if not stronger authentication and works with most recent windows operating systems
I have gotten it to work. The last version of Funk Odyssey works. You can download a trial from Juniper's website.
My work wi-fi network uses WPA2-PSK encryption/security, and I also use that on my home wi-fi network as well.
WM5 does not seem to support this.
Recently, I was playing around with one of the PDAVIET Windows Mobile 6 Roms on my phone, and I discovered that WPA2-PSK was supported and it worked great!
Unfortunately, that Rom wasn't really very stable (my phone would just randomly shut off with no warning or explanation), so I have returned to using a Windows Mobile 5 Rom.
It's more boring, but much more stable (seeing as I don't have a landline, I need my mobile phone to be reliable).
Anyway, since it seems like the issue is that of software, not hardware, does anyone on this forum know of a way to get WPA2-PSK support on WM5 devices without flashing to a WM6 Rom?
I imagine that this should be possible, but my google searches and forum searches so far have shown nothing.
(And shame on HTC/Microsoft for not providing some sort of update that provides this kind of basic functionality...I just bought this PDA/phone new 7 months ago, I don't like being "forced" to upgrade to a new device to get such a simple thing as software support for a standard wireless security protocol!)
Google for Juniper Odyssey Client or try an AKU3 WM5 Rom (Aserg).
After several WM6 tries, i installed ASERG 3.13 (AKU3) yesterday and it seems to work like a charm. For me, WPA-PSK support was one of the requirements, which works well with this image.
Thanks for the advice!
Was on a phone-flashing binge the past few weekends and I'm really busy now, but I will certainly give an ASERG AKU3 ROM a try in the near future.

Hi every one
Had a quick look in the forum and could not find the answer for my question but if it has been delt with before I appologise now. Got a second hand XDA O2 mini s unlocked, everything seem to work ok, but when I come to get onto the internet at home using wifi to my router just keeps telling cannot locate that page try again later. I have set up the wifi to the router and it tells me it is connected, am I missing something? any help would be appriciated, thanking you for your time in this.

Try checking the modem settings.

I'm having the same issue. any answers to this would be great. i'm brand new to the smartphones but was a geek from way back... its awesome how far tech has come and all but it's been ten years since i played with linux or any kind of actual programming or networking. while i am eager and excited to learn this inside and out... a cheat sheet of sorts to get me started would be great.
Lets see
Have you tried to use another Navigator as OPERA? or tried to confirm if you have Internet Connection trough wifi? you can try this with the Windows live Messenger for WM or with the Windows Marketplace.
Another tip: try putting off the Security of your router. i remember than in WM5 (few years ago) my wiza Won't connect to the router because the Security was WPA. to get it work i just put WEP security Password.
Good Luck!
Hi there
Maybe this question has been asked before but I only found matching problem descriptions related to other devices so far.
I am using the typhoon nightlies for quite a while and I am very happy with them. There is just one major problem I experience day by day. When I connect to my wireless router (WPA/WPA2 TKIP/AES doesn't matter) I have Internet for a few seconds or minutes but than there is suddenly no more connectivity. WLAN Status still claims to be connected but I can't either reach any local music sources nor any websites or the market.
When I use WEP or no security at all it works just fine. Are there a lot of people with this problem or is there allready a patch for this issue which I missed.
Edit: I have several different router models at home and I tried it with all of them. Same result
Thank you so much for your help

I allow myself to push this thread for one more time. I am a little confused about being the only one with this problem. :S if its really a known bug and the only workaround is to use the mobile connection instead, I could live with it but had to buy another phone for going abroad.
Thx

I have the same Issue. How did you solve it?
