Wifi Connection Preferences

I have an XDAIIs, and am in an office with many wifi antennas.
I cannot for the life of me figure out how to set the wifi preferences so that my device connects to my network, and not another random antenna.
Any advice here?

Hiya, don't you just have to make sure that the 'automatically connect to non-preferred networks' checkbox is cleared to prevent it? (*sighs* Oh to be surrounded by wifi networks...) You might also be able to filter some of them out by telling it to only connect to the network type you use (i.e. AP or ad-hoc).
HTH...

Connecting to Home WIFI as a standalone

I have an 8125 and I've been trying to connect to my Home WIFI network. It's been a frustrating experience so far. I would like to use my phone around the home connected to the internet via my home wifi but it just won't connect. Is there a network adapter that let me use the home wifi only???????
Thanks

Does ur 8125 detect the signals ?
set ur SSID, and encryption properly

Under Settings/Wireless Lan/Main. There is no signal and I can't input my SSID. There is a cursor but I can't type in any letters.
Thanks

Hey, did you try pressing the button on the bottom right next to the battery signal? If you havent go there and click on the tower signal; usually when I click it connects with the local wifi or via my home.

I don't see a button on the bottom right next to the battery signal!!!!!
Can you give me a step by step process as to how you connect to your home wifi?? I think that would be the best way of answering my vexing question. Maybe I'm doing something wrong in the setup of my wlan settings or something.
Thanks

GOT CONNECTED!!!!!!! Tinkered with my router's security settings and that did the trick.
Thanks all for your input!!

hey what did you do to your router because my phone won't stay connected!! and im thinking it maybe a router issue.

Wifi doesn't auto connect to home or work router

have I missed a step? I've put in passwords for both home and work but it never auto connects when in range!? it shows the icon that multiple wireless networks are available etc but I have to manually hit my router in the list for it to connect..
I'm sure I've missed something simple... Any tips?
cheers,
wab

No answers, but having same trouble here on my leo!

same problem, seems that HTD2 only saves the last wireless network you connected to

HD2 as wirelss usb device?

Hi, I got a laptop without a wireless card for internet connection. So I've been using my HD2 as a USB wireless device, which gives me internet everywhere. THat very nice, and it works extremely well, however I got a question. WHen at home and at work I would like to connect to the wireless router, and not to my mobile internet, is that possible?
Because even tho i connect without problem to my own router at home, I cant really make my HD2 use that for my computer. Is it even possible?

nope... and that is the whole purpose of a wireless card, to pick up wifi signals from a router

It is possible.
Use ICS Control:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=377047
Setup should be as follows:
public interface: BCMSDDHD1
private interface: RNDISFN1
Connect your HD2 to WiFi network, click "Start ICS" and plug the cable in to your PC. Should work If you have XP, you should kill Active Sync process first.

Thank you, however I'm not sure that I do everything correctly.
There's quite a lot of settings in that pieve of software, is all I have to edit really the public and private interface drop down boxes? Nothing else?
And when connection to wifi, shall i then just minimize ICS controls, go to phone settings and connect to wifi there?
Thank you

What you want is for your phone to connect to the internet through wireless connection, not your phone's data/internet connection?
If so, then it's definitely possible. Not only at home and work, but also at many wifi spots throughout the world. How you go about it depends on some things.
Does your home and/or work wireless router connect straight to the internet (such as a connection from the wireless router to a cable modem, etc.) ? If so, you only need to know how to connect with the wireless router and your phone should default to that connection for internet when your phone's wifi is turned on. You can always turn data connection off when you turn wifi on to make sure it goes through wifi.
If your wireless router does not connect directly to the internet but one of the computers on the router's network does, then you'll have to use Internet Connection Sharing (ICS) on that internet enabled computer as posted about above.

I want my phone connected to the wifi router, simple yes. However, then I want my phone to share the internet from the router, with a computer connected to the phone via usb cable.
So my phone will actually work as a wireless usb device, connecting to a wifi router.

WMWiFi Router provides following options on the phone:
1)3G converting to WiFi
2)3G converting to USB
3)3G converting to BlueTooth
4)WiFi converting to USB
5)USB converting to WiFi

WiFi Issues

So I have WiFi setup at work and it seems to be working, albeit slow but working.
When I plug the phone into the laptop via USB to charge the phone, the wireless connection is no longer available.(START>SETTINGS>CONNECTIONS>WIFI)
However when I unplug the X2 from the micro USB, the icon comes back and I have a wireless connection.
Is there a setting that I need to adjust for USB connection?
Another question:
Before i connect to WiFi I see the E at the top right of the phone. When I connect to WiFi the E is replaced by the WiFi icon. So I am assuming that my E (EDGE) connection is NOT being used at all when WiFi is on?
In other words, when I am using WiFi, is the internet service from my cellular provider, T-Mobil, completely disconnected? And then when I disconnect from WiFi does the phone internet service go back on to T-Mobil?
Thanks,
xwing

For WIfi + USB, i will test it for you tonight at home,
As for Edge and Wifi, yes, when you are connected to wifi, your cellular data connection is not used anymore for internet connection (and actually why do you need it?) However if you connect your phone via USB and allow to use the internet connection from it, your data connection from your Cellular still active. It allows to differentiate the 2 active sync connections, as each connection has its own properties for which items to be synced. so i wonder why Wifi and USB is not...

So now I have had the device for over a week and find that after a while, 2-4 hrs or longer, the WiFi just does not work. I go to settings>connections> WiFi and I am told to enable WiFi on my device. Then there is a list of about 10 different connections to choose from.
The only way to connect to my WiFi is to turn off the phone and back on (waiting at least 2 min) for the phone to load up.
Any suggestions?
