is it possible for O2 Atom to change from 802.11 B to *802.11 G ? please anyone can help me with this one ? please please .. .thanks
802.11b to 802.11g
It is hardware issue so you can not change it but do not wory about. 802.11b will be enough. You will not understand the difference.
Regards
Boss ... Although My work place have Wifi build in ... but i cant access it ... The network they are using is 802.11 B/G .... so was wondering if it's possible to to change my Atom's 802.11B to G ... then thing about my work place is ... i cant even find the network using my Atom ... >.<
Maybe your workplace's Wi-Fi Access Point is set to 802.11G mode only? You can ask the network administrator who set up the access point to check it up, if it's set to auto b + g mode, then your atom will be able to connect, no doubt..
i cant change which network they wanna set ... so i can only change my phone to 802.11G if possible ... that's the problem =D

Hey Cupid,
Add these two key into your registry and then soft-reset :
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\COMM\TNETWLN1\PARMS: dot11SupportedRateMask=1
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\COMM\TNETWLN1\PARMS: dot11SupportedRateMaskG=8
You can read more here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=38898
Tried that on Ipaq rw6828 and I can connect to my wireless router set to Wifi G (WPA protected).
hi eastmushu,
I have tried the method u suggested, but it doesn't seems to work on my 6828. Can you verify your findings again? thanks
Hi Kush,
What I did or rather what I found out was you have to perfrom two soft resets before it will work... Don't know why but have noticed it on two different 6828s...
After that was able to log into Pocket Messenger and IE...
Some Problems I have with this 'hack' are
1 - if the hardware is 802.11b only it will NEVER do G no matter what, software
cant change it.
Doing some research it looks like the value
dot11SupportedRateMask
defines the Desired Supported Rate Set
with the possible values of
"0",,"1,2 Mbps"
"1",,"1,2,5.5,11 Mbps"
"2",,"1,2,5.5,11,22 Mbps"
"3",,"Up to 18Mbps"
"4",,"Up to 24Mbps"
"5",,"Up to 36Mbps"
"6",,"Up to 48Mbps"
"7",,"Up to 54Mbps"
"8",,"All"
So I assume
dot11SupportedRateMask=1 is setting B speeds to 11mpbs
and
dot11SupportedRateMaskG=8 is saying 802.11G can do all speeds.
None of this however says anything about activating 802.11g on B devices.
Perhaps simply defining the parameters for G speeds enables G hardware to use
it.. perhaps not..
The second issue with the Atom is the Hardware
The registry settings for my atom's wireless chip are
HKLM\Comm\CF8381PN1
Not TNETWLN1 so for a start any atom users would need to modify key values
relative to their own hardware.
For what it is worth I will try this and post back..
And the results are in.. Did not work, made no difference at all.
Can not connect to a 'G' only network (can see it as available.. can't connect)..
Can connect to a mixed mode network with these keys but performance
was unchanged in otherwords it really did nothing.
WIFI ....../B change to......./G
U can change into wifii 802...../G by using SK tools/tune up/. I already changed it......
where I can get it.. sir..

Hello, I am very new user for ATOM LIFE>...
I finnally upgraded to my wm6 ENG version and was so glad that There 's a very nice guy answering my questiion and helping me out.
I"m so... overwhelmed.
anyway..
Now i Have a wifi problem...I have used XDA neo before and it catches wifi signal very well but my atom life doesn't catch a thing..for some reason..
*********Do i need to do some setuping or something?? for strengthen the wifi signal? ( I tried the WIFI utility but it doesn't show any difference)
Please let me know.. HOW...guide please...*************
and also, When i tried to connect with WINDOWS LIVE or messenger, even though wifi was on and was connected it kept saying
"Contact your cellphone Provider or change your internet settings.."
I don't get it why I think it's something to do with my WIFI connectivity..like weak signal..maybe
So basically, my question is
***HOW TO make wifi signal stronger? is there any wait to alter it ? using program maybe or..registry??
Please HELP me out ...noob here... I don't know nothing...
Also is there any way to reduce battery power? ATOM LIFE consumes a lotta battery .......... i found..
I willl wait for your GREATEST HELP Pro users !!!
HELP ME !! thanks.
omg
nobody has an idea..?
Wifi.. singnal strength is purely based on Hardware..
WiFi of O2 seems mis-leading you, first just check whether the WiFi signal did has a problem on your O2 by checking --> Settings --> Connections -- WiFi. (1) Then Check WiFi Utiltity (2) For some reason if (1) DID NOT goes to then screen with Preferred APs / search APs When (2) WiFi is turned ON, then probably your O2 has a software problem / crash. just backup everything and hard reset it with a clean boot (NO backup restore and no software installed). Try to use the MSN again by WiFi and see if the connection goes well.
Hello every one ,
Right so now that my SX 56 has been fixed and upgraded to WM 2003,i've got one question:
Is it compatible with those wireless wifi SD cards?
or is the model to old?
many thanx geniouses !!
No, you need an SDIO slot which these handsets don't have. Sorry.
Check this out then, i don't understand, according to this site it is compatible! http://www.pdassistant.net/Siemens/SX56.htm
"Siemens SX56 GPS capable PDA"
judging from this too then most likely they got it a bit wrong
dutr it's gps capable but only if you get an wired external
gps dongle which well does everything gpsWise and send info
over the serial port
in which case many many things are GPS capable
my old 486 pc in the attic too it have a comport too
ok so if i got it right , the update from WM2002 to WM2003 FINAL was useless if i can't use the network card option in the connections menu.
i 'm just trying to find a way to connect to the wireless internet!!
with wallaby the only have to connect it using usb to a pc which have wifi
and access it's wifi using activesync

The wallaby has no WiFi hardware. Nor can you use an SDIO WiFi card, the hardware simply does not support SDIO devices. You can use GPRS, the datacable or infrared (wouldn't recommend this since you'd have to maintain constant line of site).
So how do i do this with GPRS then cause i can 't seem to get internet explorer
recognise any WAP or WEB pages , even thought i 've got the right settings,
many thanks
hi!
its a problem that suddenly developed. my wifi router (dlink dsl-g604t) is running in 802.11b/g mode and has wpa-tkip for security. i use 3 other laptops, a nokia e65 and my hd2 and i have assigned static IPs to all. i have no sort of filtering enabled. my dhcp pool is limited only to these 5 devices+my router itself (10.1.1.1-10.1.1.6).
my hd2 has always connected fine to my wifi on wpa. since recently, it simply doesnt connect anymore at all when using wpa. i just see the rotating circle next to my network name in the available networks list. in advanced settings i see "associated to network" as the status but it never gets an ip at all. router doesnt list hd2 as a connected dhcp client (and thats correct because i dont see an ip on my phone either). not to mention all other devices are connecting fine.
i have looked around the web and xda and i have tried the following:
what has worked for my h2:
1) open wifi
2) wep on an 'open' key
what has not worked for my hd2:
1) wpa-tkip
open/wep/wpa are the only options i have. no wpa2. my router is old. last firmware release was in 2007 and i dont expect anymore to come.
what i have tried to make wpa work (without any success):
1) changing my psk several times. my laptop connects when i change my psk but phone doesnt. i even changed keyboards on my hd2 to make sure i was typing what i was seeing
2) assigning the same static ip (as set in the router) to my broadcom wifi card and the ne2000 ethernet card on the hd2
3) the reg dword and static ip setting as suggested here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=627654
4) removing static ip setting for my hd2 MAC and opening up some space in the dhcp pool on the router.
if i misconfigure the security settings on my phone in any way (set to wpa-aes/wep instead of wpa tkip), the phone tries to connect and then stops. then the wifi network is simply listed as available. again this is normal behaviour and confirms that the phone understands the security setup. but when i set it right again (wpa-tkip), it just keeps connecting forever...
(i always soft reset when i make any changes.)
it doesnt seem to me to be a dlink router issue, considering other devices connect fine. also i havent changed any settings on the router in months (until my troubleshooting efforts and now i am back to the same settings).
i am pretty sure something's messed up on the phone, specifically relating to wpa security. thats because i can communicate with my router (i get "associated to network"/rotating circle as status) but i cant get an ip. what separates the two things is successful authentication.
it cant be a radio issue unless radios start malfunctioning randomly... as for what i have changed on my phone - i have installed sktools. the reason i mention sktools is because i found an entry reading "802.11g support" under "tune up->network" and it was DISABLED. so i simply enabled it. i have tried disabling and enabling again but that doesnt help. i also ran the registry cleanup if that makes any difference.
anyone else had this problem? or anyone who can suggest what i should try? please dont tell me to downgrade to wep/open.
many thanks!
phone details:
tmous hd2; 2.31.531.1 rom; 2.15.50.02_2 radio; hspl3
I have no suggestions , other than to tell you I use my phone with WPA daily on a Linksys 610n, works well ...
I wish I had more input for you ...
well im definitely sure that my dlink/hd2/wpa combo works too... it just doesnt work now... i have changed many roms and many radios. phone always connected...
if there is no decent way of going about this then what manhandling might work? reflash? hard reset? i really dont want to do those things because i am into heavy modding and equally bad at backing up... eg) several registry hacks will all go poof...

Just remembered the time I did have trouble getting it to connect, it was after I had enabled the "N" hack with BSB Tweak, could not get it to connect, again .. (this was not with the linksys, but with my older netgear on the other side of my network)
After a Hard Reset it did connect, but , not sure the "N" is worth the trouble ....

i disabled the N hack by changing the registry key directly... soft reset and still nothing... so i put it back on... forgot to mention that in my original post...

reflashed radio... still no luck.

K .. and I was not clearer in my post, .... Once I had enabled it, disabling it did not seem to make a difference, I could not connect to that older AP, until I hard reset/re-flashed ... it happened twice, so I have just quit using the "N" hack altogether ...

I would not say right after, but fairly soon, was I think the next day I noticed, it , we are probably barking up the wrong tree, but It's all I got ....
solved!
woohoo! i fixed my problem.
it turns out that i was suffering from over-modding my phone i must thank this post#8 in the htc wizard subforum for reminding me that i did the same thing before my wpa problem started! thanks ristiisa for updating a 2 year old thread (in 2009)! so i went back to advanced config and under network -> i DISABLED wpa authentication (earlier i had set it to ENABLED)... and pronto, my weather tab has finally updated
imagine finding a solution in the htc wizard thread of all places... i am not sure what exactly i did wrong when i enabled wpa authentication though... but now its fixed! and all because i soooooooooo badly didnt want to do a hard reset/reflash
i thought i should come back here and post the solution for others... during my several days of solution hunting i also found out that googling for "hd2 wpa issue" or something similar brings my own thread as the top result
lesson for all those folk who curse their devices when they break down... maybe it is YOUR fault after all
SOLVED!

Hello xda ppl,
I'm going crazy with an issue on my HTC HD2. The WiFi Router doesn't work anymore.
Ok, first of all, if I hard reset the phone, the WiFi Router works again, so the problem is on actual settings. I don't use this features very often, so, really, I don't know which is the issue root cause. Probably some applications installed in the last months... However uninstall all applications doesn't help me...
I perform some test hard resetting and then restore only some sections (using SPB Backup). If I restore Windows Directory OR the Windows Registry WiFi Router doesn't work!
Since I don't wanna reset my device since I have to install a lot of applications, configure it, configure the device.... Very long time to do that....
Does someone advise me if there's a way to restore the original HTC WiFi router functionality without reset my device?
Or, maybe how can I reset the actual configuration modifying something on the registry/Windows directory?
Thanks!
In case You have programmed SPB backup for automatic backup try to restore the oldest backup You have and start from there.
Whenever I install a new app I do a backup and then check all essential functions including WiFi-router, if probs occur I do an immediate restore
Happened last week when I installed the 3G-enabler/disabler from XDA: BT and WiFi router didin´t work any more, so I did just a restore and everything was fine again
Thanks for reply troed, backup the device first to try a new application is also my goal...
Btw, my oldest backup is from 10 May 2010 and the WiFi router issue is still there... As already said I use the Router functionality only during Holidays (like now ) or just in rare cases. So the problem is very old... But I cannot figure which is the application that cause the issue!!!!
Now I'm surfng the internet using USB sharing features, but is very slow compared to WiFi connection!!!
So, I'm scratching my head to restore the router functionality.... Maybe there's a way to delete all the file/registry entries and then let the device restore it like during the first initialization...
However, just now I tried the Tom Condon Wifi Internet Sharing package... No way!
Hey, I had this problem with the wireless router a few days ago too... You might want to take a look here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=756830&highlight=wireless+router+problem
Regards
BTW: I remember now I had a prob with WiFi-router once I updated Intel-radio-drivers on my VAIO - notenbook, Router didn´t work at once. I took the old drivers and suddenly it was oaky again, but it was on the side of the NOTEBOOK ! (has sumthin to do with the protocols TCP/IP etc.)
Did You check this also`?

As already told, if I hard reset the device I can use the WiFi router without problem on the same notebook. So, I believe the problem is on HD2...
BTW. I tried WM WiFi Router application. I remember now I had an old license working fine also with ver 2.0.
Now the WiFi router works again. For sure, not the original one, but this is much better. I'll only take care about battery drain. In the previous version the application drained the battery in a while.
I would like to know WHY the original router doesn't work, but since I have "limited" access to the network, for now I'll use the "WM WiFi Router" temporary solution.
Any other feedback are welcome!
Hmmm... I think there are a few settings to adjust for the router to work...
If the post I posted doesn't work, then you might have to check if your settings under
Settings ---> All Settings ---> Connections ---> Connections ---> Advanced ---> Select Networks
For me, both are under the Internet settings... Example "Vodafone Internet"...
Even for "Programs that automatically connect to a private network should connect using:" I have set under the internet settings instead of My work network...
When you turn on the wireless router, you are also given an option to choose which kind of network/connection you would like to use... Choose that one that gives you your internet connection... Example "Vodafone Internet"...
And if all else fails, you may try my method posted in the past few posts... If that STILL can't help you, I'm sorry but I've tried my best! =) Hope you can settle it soon!
Also, make sure that your Broadcom Network adapters connect to "The Internet" and not work
No way also playing with Network Settings. I had tried a lot of combination without success... Seems an "unknown" application/s have change something on Windows directory AND on Windows Registry that prevent WiFi Router to work. I have so many custom settings, with application like Co0kie's Home Tab, CSMI, BsB Tweaks, Pocket Informant, Klaxon, Chainfire-HD2-3D-Driver, incall lock, NET CF 3.7.... and so on... So, probably one of these apps have changed something in a wrong way.
And again, since hard resetting the device solve the issue, with very big patience, after a reset, I'll start again to customize my device trying the router each time I install a new application or apply a new settings!
Just last question: Does someone know which is the registry settings for so called "Fast Call" (the second standard tab) where I put the contact photos?? Or in general does someone know which is the registry settings for manila settings (like the tabs settings)?
Regarding WMWiFiRouter mentioned in my previous post is a good application, but I can confirm it will drain the battery and probably also burn it, since its temperature has reach an high value. I can hardly hold the phone in my hand!
OH MY GOD!
After 3 days of resetting, restoring, change Windows Registry, remove some files from Windows directory and in general going crazy to find the issue route cause.... It's incredible, but I finally hit the target!
I changed some settings using "BsB Tweaks" (great app moreover)... I'm pretty sure I changed the settings related to WiFi, plus some others! I reset again the device and try again to be sure!!!!!!
I'll post the result asap if you're interested!
One of the problems with wifi-router is that it always uses channel 1. If any other router nearby uses channel one, you have no chance to connect to it, as it is very very low power. Check networks in your neighborhood if any of them uses channel 1, or go somewhere where there is no wifi (like park) and try it there.
Well, I'm not really sure, but disabling TCP Cache (on BsB Tweaks) solve the problem. I cannot be sure because now the "original" WiFi router works so I don't want touch anything else!
Maybe re-writing the BsB configuration help to solve the issue....
I'll investigate better when I come back from holidays!
do you have activated the wlan-n modus? if this registryhack is activ, wlan router dont work anymore.
i think this tweak can also edited in bsb-tweak tool or manual in windows registry. so deactivate the 802.11 n modus and your problem is solved.
Yes, I can confirm, this is one of the modification I applied on BsB, togheter with:
- TCP/IP High Cache = Off
- WiFi N = Off
- WiFi StandBy = Off
After that, WiFi router works again!
Damn! That's because I need to extremely tune everything!!!

You're right troed, with the latest drivers of Vaio wifi router doesn't work. Now it's ok with the old ones.
Hi,
I'm posting my question here, since i can't reply on the original thread.
Currently i'm running Elelinux-7.1-Hero-v3.6 (custom) on my HTC Hero.
First off all, great job and thank you so much for keeping the hero alive!!
Tried a lot of different roms and this one leaves the others far behind!
I do however have a small problem with wifi. The device is not "finding" my home network. It does find other networks in the area, and i have been able to log in on a friends network. But it doesnt find this particular one. Other devices (laptops, desktops) are able to connect to it, so i dont think that the issue lies with the network.
Previously i was running elelinux FROYO_2.2.1_Final_Android_Stock (special edition) and did not have this problem.
Is there anyone with the same/a similar problem? Does anyone have any idea how to resolve this?
Dont know if it matters, its an assus N-router.
Thank you
Have you tried to click "Add a wifi network" in the (empty) list of available networks to define SSID and security setting manually?
Thanks for the reply.
Yes i tried that allready, it still tells me it is not in range.
Dont know if it helps the wireless is 2.4 and 5 GHz
Just put Elelinux-7.1-Hero-v3.6 custom v2 on my phone and still have the same problem?
Any guesses?
Check if u can detect other wifi networks wit ur fone if not try a different rom,since u want something as stable as else's try herodeck...
If it does detect other wifi networks,check if ur home wifi is hidden or reset it...

I have the same ROM and I don't have any problems with wi-fi. Maybe there is an issue with the 802.11n compatibility. Are you able to force the AP into b/g mode?
Same Problem
i had the same problem so adjusted router to use B/G mode only and works fine now
maybe your WiFi is on one of the odd japanes channels 52 or so, make sure your choose something between channel1 and 11 in the 2,4Ghz Band
Thank you for all the replies!!
It got fixed!!
Didnt have to change from N to b/g
But tried Taknil's solution and changed channel from auto to somewhere between 1 and 11 in the 2.4 Ghz band (router went up to 13)
Works like a charm!!
Thank you all!
It happened to me to.
I've to give up the mod for now.
